[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the last generation that obsessively holds onto junk, refuses to move out of their clearly not elder-friendly probably poorly maintained home, refuses to explain to children all the random bank accounts/investment accounts they have, etc.?

Or…were these parents perfectly sane people at 50 that said the same as we are saying?

I can’t really remember what my parents were like at 50-60, though we have had crap in the house from like the 1960s…so I guess maybe they were like this.[/quote]

Again, I reference the different times we live in today.  Previous generations had paper letters, newspapers, hard copy photos, books, magazines, music albums, etc.  Your generation probably has very little of that.  But as I mentioned, it is replaced by digital clutter - hundreds and thousands of online photos, emails, dox, playlists, etc., which may be equally problematic for your kids to manage in a meaningful way.[/quote]

Very easy to ignore "digital clutter". It's not physically piled up anywhere. [/quote]
