Were your parents children of the Depression generation? Mine were. My dad taught me to never throw anything away. He never said anything, but my grandmother talked about the days they got by on one small meal a day. They hoarded every scrap of stuff they couldn't use until someone came by who could use it. It's still hard for me to get rid of stuff, but people around here are so awash with possessions that nobody wants my old stuff. I don't need it, but can't bring myself to send it to the dump. They have old stuff of their own.
