I feel exactly opposite from most of you. I am 77 and I plan to live till 95. Why can't I enjoy my Mother's beautiful dishes and my fabric till I am gone. My kids feel I should get rid of everything so they don't have to do it. I want to move to a larger home so I can have a room to quilt or paint when I want to, then walk out and close the door so the items will be right where I left them. I love cherry furniture and I have antique family pieces, and I do not want to get rid of any of it. I love to work with wood and have my own wood shop out back. I plan to have another one if I move. I guess all of us have choices but I do not plan to get rid of mine. I cleaned and polished that furniture for over 56 married years and I am not ready yet. Maybe I will live to be 105, who knows.
