i'll just be quiet here....
We tried bro, we tried ... and it won't change until you finalize that divorce and buy her out of the house.
Note to others: this is just one room. All rooms are like this including basement.
Sooner is better.

Hoarding: When is it too much?
When you have more than you need for survival?
When you have more than you will use in the next year?
When it adversely affects others?
Is not the hoarding of money (in billions of dollars) not the same as hoarding more toilet paper than you will use in your lifetime?
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.
-- Henry David Thoreau, on simplicity

Tiny Homes = storage, bed, address, dignity
Maybe instead of just giving warm clothing to the homeless we (e.g. the Salvation Army) should lend it to them. Have them return the winter coats in the spring and give them a nominal payment as incentive. Then clean them and do the same thing next winter.
Or house them in tiny homes so they have a place to leave that stuff during the day and a place to sleep at night, a place to wash up, do laundry, eat, etc, to say nothing of having an address for applying for work etc.
Gives them some dignity
Enjoy

Re: Tiny Homes = storage, bed, address, dignity
I think tiny homes are a great idea, and not just for homeless people. Unfortunately, our city council in its infinite wisdom won't allow houses less than 1000 square feet to be built.
So one structure with four 10'x25' apartments.

digital indignity
Not a space concern, is right. I suppose we'd have to define data hoarding in terms of the number of devices that never get hooked up to the computer after becoming full, instead of the number of rooms full of stuff we can no longer enter.
Like software I no longer need, stored on **gasp** 5-1/4" floppy disks ... 11 of them ...
