I like to collect various things, so I tend to have large amounts of the same thing within my spaces. One of the things I collect are rocks, which can be found on my window and in various unused flower pots. I also collect coins, which I keep in collector books and a jar. Besides the things I choose to collect, I do not have large amounts of other things. I don’t think anyone could make the argument that this is a form of hoarding because not only are the quantities within my collections controlled, but they also do not significantly impact my life. When I find I have too many rocks, I choose some to put back outside/in the garden, and my coin collection is limited to the space within the collection books. I do not keep duplicate coins, nor do I keep any that are not within a collector’s series, I instead put them in a jar until I have enough to bring to the bank, and they are put back into circulation. I also don’t really have an excess of any other items, like receipts, boxes, etc, because I regularly clean my space and remove anything that isn’t necessary to keep.
