What is it with these older people that think they have to keep every piece of paper for 30 years? Is someone going to walk in and demand to see their bank statement from January 2006?? Would they ever be able to find it if that even happened?

I’ve been culling out my parents in stages. First Mom passed away and my sister and I went through the house diligently to clear out the key things we wanted (that my Dad was never going to need or want).

My Mom was the Captain of Y2K Planning for her Sr Community. You would not believe what we found in their garage 8 yrs after the year 2000. 14, yes that is fourteen!!! Porta potties because, of course, there’s going to be a national toilet emergency when all the computers fail. Lifetime supply of M&Ms ( I guess that is the survival food of choice for the Sr Citizens?), 200 rolls of toilet paper to go along with that toilet failure and tons of first aid supplies because they were all going to fall down and skin their knees and every pharmacy was going to be looted and closed due to the computer failure.

Then we had to move Dad into Assisted Living and that took care of most of the other stuff.
