because 99% of the time its useless shit like a giant plate with a duck on it that is worth 15$ online.When my grandparents passed everyone in the family fought over who gets the stupid glass plates for months on end meanwhile no one gave a fuck when I took all of my grandfather's tools that are worth a couple thousand dollars atleast. It makes no sense to me.

that rant had no direction and didn't really answer your question but I just wanted to type it.

Because a house to fit that shit in is expensive as fuck, plus most of it isn't that valuable anyway. I will never find a use for it and I don't want things that only sit around to be looked at.

My only family heirloom is the family sword but I am not allowed to inherit it unless I marry a woman and get her pregnant. My little brother gets it over me if he marries and impregnates a bitch first. At this point it is most likely he will get it.

Because it is usually fucking junk.

When WW2 Generation grandparents passed, they might of left something that turned out to be worth a fortune. The internet made it so everyone has checked to see if they might have something in the house worth a lot of money.

Boomers collection of salt shakers and snow globes, yea, no one wants those. And, theya re going straight in the trash

I couldn't give less of a shit about kitschy porcelain figurines and commemorative spoons. These things aren't heirlooms anyway, they're just pieces of random shit that boomers bought at antique stores.

However, I will gladly accept my grandfather's army medals, those are badass.

Where am I going to keep all the tools and equipment when my brothers decide to sell the house?

I want them both dead. I know I sound deranged and selfish but if everything gets an equal split once my parents are dead I am going to agree to selling it all, fuck the legacy.

This. Family photos are the only real sentimental value. I work at a Good Will and we get shit from deceased parents/family all the time.

My grandparents did that. Money was hidden everywhere. We spent months searching before we sold the house. I'm sure we missed some.

You had to take apart every bit of crap before selling or throwing it out, because money was stuffed into many of them.

>>38925394

In her mind, she needs to justify her hoarding. She needs to know she hasn't wasted her life accumulating garbage that you don't want. Pretend to be grateful and try to get her to clean up some in the meantime but after she goes, it really doesn't matter. It's just stuff.

If someone tried to give me garbage like that as an heirloom, it would be listed on ebay before it was even in my hands

>>38925552
I hope I have the strength one day. I'm a minimalist because of her. I throw anything I don't use after a couple of months that isn't worth a lot. I probably have like 15 items to my name besides clothes and hygiene products.

She's been getting better. I've gotten her to clean but she has a long way to go. It's super difficult. I remember when I made her clean the fridge and she cried cuz I told her to throw all the jars and butter like containers away that she wanted to keep to use one day to store things in.

Because millennials have the dual influences of growing up in a time of excess (no need to hold on to things for a long time--just get rid of it after a couple of years if you don't want it) and anti-consumerism (declutter your life).

I got boxes and boxes of stuff from my mom and it's bizarre to me the amount of shit she's kept over the years. Much of it is sentimental like letters but then there's like copies of my elementary school's code of conduct (multiple copies). I wouldn't keep that shit for five minutes if I had a kid and she kept it for literally decades. It made me kind of sad but I got rid of probably 70-80% of it because it had no meaning to me. I sure as fuck didn't tell my mom though.

Cause its literally just stuff, stuff that is impractical to own, just takes up space and is very fragile, perhaps even containing lead and arsenic. Older generations must have taken pride in owning fancy china and furniture, but no one really cares about that stuff anymore. We like things that are streamlined, easy to use and clean, durable yet easily replaceable if they break. Minimalism is the new chic.

If you go to church groups, you can find hardworking families that could actual use stuff like furniture and appliances.

By that logic I should be mad whenever my grandchildren don't want to take my hentai wallscrolls.

Cant say for others but I only care for utility. I don't want something to "look at." I see shit on the internet all the time and once you have seen something that's it its use is over with. I want shit I can use. Give me a car or tools or something valuable that I can sell.

Luckily I have no family so this will never be a problem for me. I have never and will never have an inheritance.

I've actually been put in charge of getting all the historically significant stuff when my grandma passes, including my great grandpa war chest and 2 200 year old.bibles. these are worth taking.

>>
I don't understand the purpose of having vitrine monitors filled with shit you're never supposed to touch or use. You're never gonna have the pope over for tea, why save old china for "special occasions" when no occasion is special enough?

In my country, people used to have a room in their house that nobody actually used. Expensive furniture, the best you could afford/inherited, display cases, pianos and so on, but no one went into the rooms except to clean them and maybe to celebrate some holidays or if you were visited by someone prominent. People could live in a small apartment and with many children yet a room was still unused for 99% of the year. It's kind of sad really.

Why the fuck do you have a reddit tab open, are you a normie or something?

I don't have the room for it. Only you had that kind of luxury, grandma.

>tfw I like heirlooms and think they are comfy and look nice.
Modern shit is so soulless.
>>
>>38929367
Heirlooms need to be nice before they were considered to be heirlooms to be worth having around though, some fucking mickey mouse glasses is not something I'd save just because other family members have saved them.
>>
>>38929560
True, I'm talking more about nice old cabinets and pretty decorative stuff. An excess of it isn't good but it's not that bad having some of it.
>>
I actually like old people shit. Old glassware is cool as shit. Just pretty kind though;depression glass, carnival glass, milk glass, and that iris stuff. I especially like the radioactive onus that glow. My grandmother has all kinds of original and reproduction Tiffany lamps and antique furniture. Why would someone throw cool stuff like that away? Sounds more like gen x than millennial.
>>
That's because most of this shit is the junk that accumulates over a lifetime and has no value.
>Volunteer at an op shop.
>Every week another person comes in with the same story.
>"Parents died, left us a bunch of crap and we don't want it. Take it away from us because we don't even care enough about these stupid mugs to sell them."
And then we sell them to other old men and women who are close to death and they will inevitably be passed on to another family who don't want it and they'll be donated back to ours or another op shop to begin the cycle again.
It's pretty funny.
Not as funny as the old women recycling pornography though.

Because boomers were shitty parents. Imagine this Boomers were raised by conservative parents and rebelled in their 20's around the year 1960

They then did one hell lot of drugs and fucked around. The cuck boomer then married a whore and they gave birth to manginas and feminists

A family sword huh? How high ranking KKK member was your great grandfather?
>>
>>38927071
theres always gonna be at least someone who wants crap like that especially if you put it for a low price (which you should do anyway because its a load of shit). 45 year old single mothers are the type of people to see it and think "oh that looks really expensive but they've put it for such a low price, what a bargain!" then they buy it and put it in a cabinet and do nothing with it till they die. then their kids are left to sell it on ebay again and the cycle continues

Exactly, my dad and grandfathers have tools from decades ago that you CANNOT buy now, nor can you even buy something that comes close to it in quality and ability to last decades in a rusty old shed and still function like new. Tools used to be made by craftsmen from high quality steel, now some random gook presses a button and shitty recycled steel forms a glitzy tool that will break instantly under any real duress.

Not every person with a family sword is a mouth breathing sister fucking hick from rural georgia. Some of them actually have history to them and it could be anything from a Japanese katana to an Arabian scimitar or a Scottish greatsword. Don't be such a fucking racist.

I would sell them not throw them away.

What's it like being a funeral director?
>>
>>38923060
Dad is an eccentric who sued the tobacco company back in the 60s since he had been smoking since he was 13 in the 40s.
>He had 7 kids and when he passed we each got around 11k.
>I was too young to use the inheritance so it was put in a trust fund until I turned 18
> Dad really wanted me to go to college and open up the restaurant I had been talking about since I was 6 years old.
> My siblings and half siblings get theirs as soon as the funeral is done. They spend it on their cars or use it to catch up on bills or take a cruise.
> Finally turn 18 and can dip into my funds.
>Mom asks for it to pay her bills that she was behind on.
>I say yes
>She gives me a hug. And promises to pay me back.
Its been 5 years. I haven't had a hug from her since or seen a penny of what she owes me. Cant bring it up to her either or gets angry and tells me to leave and go back to my apartment since "I only care about money"

This sob gets it. I venture to garage sales time to time to pick up cheap tools.

They're really hard to get, but my father served in the RAAF (australian airforce) for 13 years as an officer and radio/aircraft technician, and he still has sockets and spanners and screwdrivers from the airforce that are damn near indestructible and do a better job than anything you can buy at an ordinary store. Look out for veterans that have old military issue tools because they're usually very high quality.
>>
people need to experience hardship and the fragility of life to appreciate things fully

I notice that people who haven't been through any kind of trauma in their entire lives more easily view everything as some kind of throwaway temporary experience.
>>
>>38932454

>still have dad's cot, gun cleaning kit, and backpack from his marine days

He grabbed up a bunch of other shit and mailed it home while serving in 'nam, but his brother stole everything he sent so we only got a few things. But you're right, they're very high quality and as far as I know will last another 40 years. The stuff has no signs of tearing.

And I got some like, giant goose down military sleeping bag from one of his friends, made for like arctic temperatures and shit. I slipped inside it once to try it out, it was max comfy, but then started sweating within ten seconds. Save your ass from hypothermia though. Tons of veterans out here too, so I should really be searching for shit like that. thanks anon.

>>
>>38932498
I think you're right, I value family and even a small amount of friends about 10 times more after going through serious anxiety and self hatred over the past 6 months. I would have killed myself long ago if I didn't have my parents and brothers.
>>
>>38932650
No worries. The military is actually good for some people to whip them into shape and give them a realistic future, if you can put up with 10 years of doing exactly what you're told and acting like a robot then it's a good option if you're not sure of what to do with your life.

hilarious but also sad

Yeah I was actually going to join up in the marines like pop and both grandparents did, but I ended up with the diabetes and it fucked everything up. I function much better when I have a routine and someone yelling at me telling me what to do and then do it twice as well next time. It was my last shot and it's gone. Oh well, at least I can grab some old military gear from the folks around this place. I grabbed a mortar shell box from the neighbor's garage before his house got torn down. Put a bunch of my survival shit in it. Nice heavy duty all purpose case right there.

Holy shit boomers are hilarioous. Yes, we're children because we don't want YOUR useless trash plates.

there's a reason banks either make you put up a liability or charge exorbitant interest rates
>>
>>38923060
Because boomer shit is worthless. They deserve it for destroying the future economy and promoting modern social culture.

My family was in a similar scenario. Fucking greedy normie bastards.
