mixed feelings about stash? Yes Ma'am!
Many of those feelings are a lot like yours.
I was shopping and distracting myself from emotional issues.
I was telling myself it was all about "being ready" for retirement years, but as you
said, too much can become a burden and it did.
It was burdensome for several years and then it became a blessing again in ways.
We had a family crisis of sorts and the downsizing began as a way to help recover
financially. This helped me "redeem" myself for buying too much.
Since it is now helping I don't know if I would do it differently if I could do it over
or not. That's complicated. You'd have to know the future, lol.
