OMG, I have just seen my future! I am the same way. I save EVERYTHING. My parents are the same too. They have a huge garage filled with stuff as well as a master bedroom that can't be used for anything but storage. I asked my Dad once if I should spend time going through it all when he died: "No, just toss it all.". I had to get a storage room a few years ago because I ran out of room in the house.
Many things are dishes, sheets, appliances, etc. that I was saving for John when he got a place of his own. I will be making a LOT of trips to the local charity store in the next year.
