Fair point. But you can’t hold on to everything

Of course not. But I understand it.
My grandfather, when he was a kid during the Great Depression, had to keep everything he owned in a cigar box. They'd have to leave, sometimes in the middle of the night. Times were hard. Real hard.

After he came back from Korea and gained a good profession, he said he wanted land, to never go hungry again, and to never have to throw anything away that he didn't want to. And he did.

But I think that came from that cigar box childhood, and having to lose his possessions over and over again.
