That’s how many of us start in the direction of hoarding: “this can be fixed, it would be a shame to just throw it away”.
You could argue it’s just too cheap and easy to buy a new thing, so old things are no longer worth fixing, and guilt at throwing out is vestigial
I will hoard things but not to the point that some Americans hoard too that even pay for extra storage because they don't have more space at their house. That's excessive hoarding.
Yeah, storage units have become a huge industry. While they serve legitimate needs, such as people temporarily between homes, I do have to wonder if most of their business should go to therapists
Oh yes of course for that kind of stuff they are great but just to hoard stuff its just insane to me.
