[QUOTE="keista, post: 533217, member: 11965"] I read, Dad, Great Aunt and Grandmother. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm If they are close in age to my Dad, great Aunt or Grandmother, guess what they have in common? They all live through the Great Depression. A time when ppl learned "the art of frugality" No question some ppl take it to extremes. I just wonder if there were hoarders before then? Or if hoarding is a phenomena that was created by the Depression. by the way, your house doe not have to be an unlivable mess to qualify you as a hoarder. I know quite a few who have very functional and tidy homes, but the hoard is still a hoard because the items never get used for their intended or planned purpose. [/QUOTE]
