I have no idea why I keep them. I have no delusions of them ever coming back into style. I have way too many old clothes I should just get rid of. I have no idea why I keep them.

I buy things, and just hold on in case I might need it some day. Inevitably, someday never comes. Yeah, I’ve been there too. I buy things, and just hold on in case I might need it some day.

These boxes have been sitting in my one-car garage for over ten years. I should get rid of them, but I keep thinking (hoping) that style will come back and I'll able to fit into that size again.

I'm glad I didn't spring for the top notch stuff. It would have been an even bigger waste. I know what you're going to say... "Why don't you sell them?" I would, but I have this nagging internal voice that tells me "...but you might need them later and then what would you do? Go out and buy new ones? That's just stupid!"

Her father had bought her a piano, which she never learned how to play, but felt obligated to take it with her wherever she went. She paid for the shipping cost when she moved from Hawaii to Florida. Then a couple of years later, she paid to move the piano to her husband's apartment. Then one year later, she paid to move it to her new house. She said the cost of the piano is much less than all the shipping/ moving costs she's paid. I have a friend who has moved her piano around three times.
