@Art...

The house I had was left to me by my Depression-Era parents. They had lived there from 1952-1996, then I lived there from '98-2014. While they weren't horders (like the nightmares you see on TV), they didn't toss anything that might be useful....as a result, I had piles of Stuff to sort through, sell what I could, donate (or toss) what didn't sell.

It was liberating, "lightening the load." I think we Americans often burden ourselves with possessions to the point that our Stuff owns US, rather than the other way 'round.

yes, we do
I'm down to 3 outfits (plus work clothes) and gym togs
it's tools / vehicle parts I can't seem to part with
also my old PC
I don't want to keep it, I'm afraid if I bin it someone might find it and backtrack into the hard drive and somehow find all my passwords
And my weights / barbells/ kettlebells

I take hard drives apart and abuse the disks. After a minute or so on the bench grinder they go to the firing range.
Even if the drive has nothing on it, there are magnets in there to get. AAAAAnd those very magnets can be put on the disk..
