Such a good point. I'm in the same boat as many... I'd be renting a giant bin. I'm the guy who stumbles on the question of "if there was a house fire, what would you grab". Pants? I guess? I have a hard time mustering up sentimental feelings for stuff.

I read that Marie Kondo tidying book years ago, and despite kinda hating it, she did mention how everything serves a purpose, and once that purpose is gone, it's ok to pitch it. I don't know why that stuck with me. It's freeing as hell.

But not everybody feels that, and for them their relationship to stuff might be important to them. Weird to me, but important to them.
