Ditto except I'm another couple years behind you, but my parents on the otherhand...hooooly cow, I'm not sure they've discarded anything
since the 80s. Absolutely still have stuff like their alarm clocks that I remember from when I was little. They've actually replaced 70s era appliances with OTHER 70s era appliances when the first ones finally died. They still have miscellaneous pieces of that Corelle Butterfly Gold pattern place settings that I imagine they got as wedding gifts. There are "fancy soaps" in the bathroom that have been there all my life and never used. My mom gave me my own childhood playpen when my own son was born. I am NOT looking foward to cleaning out that house when they die...
