I think it's natural to want to save things in case you want them in the future. If you have space, why not? After awhile, though, it's like putting on just a couple more pounds a year. Eventually, you look (or someone else does) and there's too much. The only question is how long before we bother to really look at what we've done and take action? In our mid-50's, my wife and I are now trying to slowly purge our acquisitions (both stuff and fat). I'm tired of living this way.
I can't comment on the animals since one dog....erm, hoomin.....is plenty for me.
