I'm always trying to help my folks get rid of what accumulates when you see potential value in everything AND have unlimited space to store it AND age slows down how much can be accomplished in a day.

My dad just spent a day patching the roof of the 130 year old abandoned house with new shingles, and it disabled him for 2 days afterwards. The reason to patch the roof; to keep the crap he doesn't need inside, dry.

I told him he needs to be filling the garbage can to capacity every garbage day for the next year.

I just need to carve out 1 day per month to get them moving in the right direction. There's probably sentimental reasons that tearing down the old house isn't a priority, because that's where the best years were spent; first 18 of mine.
