Helping a Friend Move Out

I've been trying to help a friend move out of his house today.

Originally he just wanted his clothes and his pictures, but the pictures are optional because as he puts it, "They just represent memories, and memories are in the past."

Yet the more we clean the more he tries to convince me to keep his junk.  "Hey, keep this 30 year old hot wheels car, and hey this unopened sports cards are definitely worth a lot!"

Looked up that stuff on Ebay and they are worth far less then he thinks.

Lucky he has me to throw stuff away as I'm going through his stuff, because the sentimental value has increased to the max.

What is sentimental value?

Well basically stuff gets more valuable to you the longer you have owned it.  Therefore after you've owned something for so long it becomes your most valuable thing financially, and you can't get rid of it on your own.

The chains of sentimental value are real, and prevent many people from experiencing freedom.

If you have a friend that you were gonna break up with anyways, might as well have them go through and throw out your old junk.  Oughta feel pretty good when some of the chains are gone.
