Lonely women are also found to be hoarding trinkets and plastic furniture for a home they don't have and for a family and or relationship they dont have - but hope or think will come in the future.[0]

0, There has been many examples of this on hoarding TV shows and also finance distress aid TV shows (Luksusfellen (NO, DK) Lyxfallan (SE) ).

I think it's fairly common that people keep/collect/hoard stuff against a future lifestyle that they eventually realize that they don't even want. When my dad was clearing out a former house for an estate sale, I definitely took too much stuff against a day when I would have formal dinner parties like my parents did--but, of course, never did.

I sadly collected retro computers for when I was going to play them with my old pals. Guess which machines are just collecting dust, after I paid high prices for them. Instead of sadness I just accept it as reality and move on. We have bigger things to do. And of course in my case, for this case, anything old can be emulated and give the same on-screen experience.

Okay, I'm a little bit bummed about it.

Did you misspeak? Animals are generally living things

Most animals are dead.

Indeed, most things are gone.

Rather for shoes, or for clothes.
