Hoarders

Watching Hoarders tonight..

One of the consistant themes from these hoarders is worry about throwing things out because they might have to buy them again.

I went through our financial records from moving in here - a good starting point right? We moved over here with 4 suitcases, and had to buy everything else. We're pretty happy here - we live reasonably sparsely, but even then, not too boringly.

Anyway.. everything we bought over here initially to set up a house cost us $6000 - including $2000 of LCD TV/DVR. It came with a dishwasher/fridge/freezer/washer/dryer, which made things cheaper, but it's nice to know that you can start over for that little.

Very interesting. I've spent next to nothing on appliances/house stuff here, other than a few baking dishes. (The advantage of moving in with someone who already had everything!) I have, however, bought far too many items of clothing and heaps of sports gear.... (skis, snowboard, rollerblades, ice skates. Oops?)

Presumably this doesn't apply to the ones who hoard newspapers.

Pretty cool about your house fillings; news like that takes a lot of pressure off considering freight in the future.
