15 moves in the last 5 years 3 different companies, i have stuff i dont even unpack anymore and got rid of LOTS of stuff,
this last move, got rid of 6 boxes of stuff before the move and dumped 5 more while i was "unpacking" basiclly down to "neccessities of comfort" and ability to make dinner once in a while. Except the gun stuff that goes to the range every 2 weeks where ever i am and I had to leave my AR in Texas with my daughter as jail time in Kali for even thinking of owning one.
Heirlooms and family stuff, packed, used to entertain alot so have formal dining room stuff, still packed. tools i dont use often, packed. boxes of reference books, packed till needed and repacked when not.
i just got used to down sizing and keeping unimportant things out of my life.
so, i feel your pain, frustration, and offer sympthy.
