    How true. Recently I inherited apartment after my late grandma. She wasn't hoarder, but being 97 years old, she was living frugal life. Nothing was wasted, thrown away. Found unused dinner service she got as present maybe 20-30 years ago, still in box. Lots of weird shot glasses, coffee service. I kept few bits, but passed further away some, threw away other.
