Junk or no Junk?

I wish you could come here to help me out. I am looking at having to sell my house and all of my furnishings and getting rid of anything and everything that no longer is of use. To say the least it is a huge job but I must do it so I can get back to my homeland the U.S.

I'm a minimalist when it comes to everything but clothes and soft blankets. Lol then I'm a hoarder

I'm a hoarder and now that we are planning to move, I am convincing myself to be a minimalist.

I'm more of a hoarder but recently I've been looking for ways to unload the junk I have in the back room. Some of the stuff is actually in good working order but before I junk it I have to be sure I have no use for it. The older I get the more like mom I become.

I am not a hoarder but I like my things. My kids called me a pack rat but when we finally moved from our house of 28 yrs they were very happy I kept some of the things I did as it brought back many memories for them. We also donated a lot to the second hand stores.

I'm a bit of both I think. I was brought up not to waste anything so I can find it hard to throw things out. If I can find a good home for something then I'm okay with it. But I don't think I really hoard. There is spare room in most of my cupboards.

I defintely tend toward the hoarder side..but right now everything is pretty much contained. I have gotten a rid of a lot. Two of the rooms could use a bit of work though. There is a lot of clothes clutter in the bedroom.

I'm pretty much in the middle. I like a neat and orderly house with no clutter. However, I still have unpacked boxes in my closet from when I moved almost 8 years ago. I always say "one of these days" I'll get to those boxes but I always have better things to do with my time

I'm generally a minimalist, but I seem to have gone a little crazy with the shopping this past Christmas season, and now my house looks like I'm a hoarder because I have so much stuff laying around that I haven't found a place to store yet. But that's just because I haven't done my spring cleaning yet to clear out my closets, but that will be coming up here soon! Probably the two biggest things I would have to say I have that makes me look like a hoarder is shoes, and camping gear. I have way too many pairs of shoes in my closet in my master bedroom, and my outside storage room on my back patio is filled to the ceiling with camping and hiking gear. But other than that, I am definitely a minimalist.

I have a hard time getting rid of stuff.

if i have broken things or worn out clothing, i just throw it out.

I don't think I'm a hoarder but my house might look like I am. I have a modest antiques/collectibles business, have for many years, so I always have what looks like way too much stuff, even though much of it is for sale.

Giving out that stuff creates some space. i hate it when i have too much stuff that i do not use its like a bother to me.

I am the furthest from a hoarder one can find.

I am a minimalist and my daughter is a hoarder. She takes after my mom who was a child during the depression.

Thats a great example of how yin/yang or opposites can be so good for each other. I lean more towards the minimalist side.

My husband and I are similar to you both. I tend to "collect" and every so often my husband helps me reduce my collections.

We are both pretty cluttery, but not hoarders.

Because I moved a lot, there came the day when I needed to get rid of my accumulation and not take it with. It's very hard for me to downsize.

I am both. What is frustrating, is that even if I wanted to donate some stuff, there is not one person who would haul it for me. I have heard that the Salvation Army will pick up your items, but the closest one to me is almost an hour away. I have alot of cookbooks. I figure they will probably come in handy IF I ever get married. I would love to rid my closet of the same stuff I wear over and over and buy some new items.
