I appreciate the manifesto and agree we all have to do what works best for us as individuals. I am only 63 but my son is deceased so when I look at my 'inventory' I think of what my DIL and grandchildren will have to deal with. I love them all dearly but my DIL is remarrying this Spring and I don't want to leave a mess for anyone.
I recently had a water heater in a closet leak and had to shuffle all fabric and machines out of that closet. Because it was in the center of my home the surrounding floors in 3 rooms have to be replaced. The insurance company looked at my stuff and said can you move some of this? or they will have to get a pod to move my stuff into so that the flooring can be replaced. I already had my actual sewing set up in one of the rooms so I have that clutter and the closet clutter to shuffle. It was a large closet and had 4 extra sewing machine which are now shuffled to my breakfast nook.
Just my thoughts and concerns.
