Real my parents were hoarders and it was all poverty. Thankfully only 1 room was the dedicated junk room, but it was a combo of saving things that would be useful (which did happen), things that were no longer used but functional, and broken stuff. Broken stuff either wasn’t discarded because it was large and involved a trip to the dump or because there was an intent to repair.

It’s just sad that I remember how it was before it got to that point. 08 really changed everything
