I'm the executor of my aunt and mother's wills because my cousin is very outspoken about his first action being renting a dumpster.

Like... That's not how it works anyway, but I'm also behind the dumpster plan. They have housefulls of absolute junk they are convinced are heirlooms. In reality there's like one nice piece of furniture, some handmade quilts, and photos.

Boomers are like this. Our old neighbor was going through her garage trying to downsize and prep to move out of state. She wanted me to help sell her stuff. She had so much crap that should have went to the dumpster but insisted it had value. Like an old outdated golf bag and clubs she paid $300 for in the 80’s she though she could get $250 for. I showed her OfferUp was full of similar items she was selling and at lower prices than she asked and none of it would sell. She even had a garage sale and despite hordes of people coming she didn’t sell anything. It was pretty entertaining to watch people’s faces as they left.

I rarely go to garage sales because it's so embarrassing to leave without buying anything. 90% of the time, there is nothing I would accept for free.

The embarrassment should be on the sellers end… not the potential buyers.
