When I was growing up my parents were friends with some people that lived in a cheap housing area of OKC. When we visited there was barely room to get thru their house with all the anitiques and what I considered knick knack junk. It wasn't as bad as you see on those hoarder shows, none of it was papers, clothes, or trash and all fairly well organized. I later found they lived in the cheaper neighborhood because they owned 3 other houses close by. Those houses were cheap storage stuffed with antiques.
After her husband died she talked about instead of putting money in the bank she bought antiques and knick knack stuff that was worth more than what she paid for it. A couple of times she tried moving herself to a nicer home, but her storage homes would get vandalized so she would move back to protect her stuff.
Finally she got to where she couldn't take care of herself and moved in with her daughter in CA. I don't know what happened to all her stuff.
