Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says
paraphrand@lemmy.world 18 hours agoThere are lots of factors that lead to people of her generation ending up like this. It’s really common.
One factor for some people, is not wanting to face how wasteful we are. It’s putting off the reality that it’s all landfill. Just one of many reasons. And it think it might be common with people who are not exactly hoarders, but also manage to hold on to so much.

The big thing i see in my mom is she grew up with almost nothing, and all this stuff keeps her a little further from ever being in that situation again. I get it, but it isn’t a healthy way to deal with that fear, and you’d be better off saving the money instead. But she doesn’t trust banks, so that’s another negative. 🤷♂️
