Families with poorer economic conditions often face a common phenomenon: the accumulation of items. This phenomenon can be seen in every corner of the home.



The walls are densely hung with various types of shelves, filled with repetitive items. In the kitchen, containers filled with plastic bags and countless rags occupy most of the space. The cabinets and shelves are piled high with all sorts of tableware, many of which are rarely used.

The drawer is stuffed with various manuals, expired medications, and bills from years ago. Every nook and cranny of the home seems to be filled with assorted clutter. In the freezer section of the refrigerator, one can often find some long-forgotten, mysterious frozen foods.

In the wardrobe, many clothes have not been worn for a long time, but they still occupy valuable space. To store these clothes, the family has to purchase more storage boxes. Some old or semi-abandoned small appliances and electronic products are piled up in a corner.

The quantity of bedding and bed linens is also continuously increasing, some of which may have been distributed during relocations years ago, and some have even turned yellow and moldy, yet are still stored under the bed. The drawers of the bedside table are stuffed with various unused items, such as charging cables, old phones, batteries, spare keys, and lenses that have never been used.

Toiletries such as shampoo, toothpaste samples, and disposable toothbrushes have also been collected, waiting for the opportunity of a 'trip' that may never come.

This phenomenon reflects the consumption psychology and living habits of some families. Although these items may be useful at some point, excessive accumulation may negatively affect the quality of life. Finding a balance between keeping useful items and maintaining a tidy home is a question worth contemplating for every household.

Stacking things is also the PTSD of the poor.

Throwing things away is like throwing money away. Do you understand?
