When to start thinning down?

I can totally relate to that, I recently invited some friends round to my new office for some drinks and while a couple of them thought it was cool, the others were polite but clearly thought I was mad! I know that their own home offices are decorated in a much more 'mature' way, leather sofas and nice paintings etc, it did make me think am I trying to cling on to my childhood too much and at this age would I actually get more enjoyment from a 'grown up' space? The jury is still out.

I have a number of collections, all vintage and had a bit of an exercise, pack them all up, put in boxes and see how I felt, didnt look in the boxes for about 6 months, didnt miss them so now getting rid other than some things that will increase in value because they were issued 2020 onwards, give it 30 years and those that are young today without a disposable income will have, a diposable income and will go looking, just like we have done ourselves, I wouldnt say that I now enjoy my adult space, but there is less clutter haha

Screw what others think. I have no issues/embarrassment at all with collecting. Never have. Anyone who has said/hinted at something negative about it in the past, has been very quickly told where to go!

On the other side of it though I am also very careful of not forcing it on others. Besides my display room, I have no Star Wars items on display anywhere in the house. That was always my aim and I have always stuck with it.

It has always been my plan to hold on to this stuff until it no longer brings me any joy. If that means I have it right up until the end, then great! It would mean something has brought me joy for the majority of my life.

Jesus this is a depressing thread! Prices are only going down and we’re are all going to kick the bucket any day!
