I didn't grow up having a lot of stuff. My parents grew up poor & gradually worked their way into lower middle class. They did buy me a bit of stuff but it was a lot less than some of my peers. I only had a few interests & I mostly just wanted to focus on that which were my toys, TV, & video-games. I never really got an allowance until I became a teen & the amount I got was a lot less than some of my peers. What I didn't spend on lunch at school, I saved up to buy vid-games. As an adult I only worked about 38 months of my life & the jobs I had were minimum wage type stuff. I was on SSI at the time but the more I made in employment, the more my SSI got reduced. I worked a lot of over-time when I was allowed but I gave my parents a certain amount of my paycheck to help cover my expenses & my parents bringing me to & from work. My health care cost a lot which was about half my SSI when I was just on that. I also paid the cable/net bill & my phone bill. I could never really afford to have a lot of stuff. Nowadays I'm living with my girlfriend & on Social Security Disability. My insurance is much better but I have other living expenses. I do have a knife/blade collection but I raked up aLOT of debt partly cuz of that.

I wasn't raised to be a hoarder & cant afford to be one but I do have OCD but it's not really about me having a lot of stuff. My parents have some traits of hoarding thou. My dad works in construction & has quite aLOT of tools for work & projects around the house that take up more space than he has room for. My parents are also into antique stuff & have lots of things they don't need some of which they need to fix up. My parents aren't at a hoarding level with it thou.
