As I’ve proven to my wife on many an occasion. 
Yet, she still throws stuff out religiously.
That’s a fun joke. “What’s classy when you’re rich and trashy when you’re poor- Minimalism!”

I suspect there are going to be quite a few minimalism television shows over the next decade.

Ouch. If your house is full of crap people or pets, doesn’t it become harder to remember them all? Hoarders probably have incredible memory.
They might use their stuff as a way of remembering too. For example, someone I know will keep empty bottles of vitamins… not even as a reminder to buy more, but as a reference of what brands were cheap, or what products are getting that shrink ray in the stores.
