7. Kids don't want this stuff

I have a lot of family treasures snd my kid has *zero* interest in any of them. Some I thought had intrinsic value, like antique furniture and silver flatware, but *nobody* wants it. I guess I'll try to sell it, and I know there are specialty collectors for some of it, but who knows how long they'll be around.

I've decided to stop preserving it, take it all out and use it and enjoy it--if I break things, so what?--knowing that it will probably all just end up in the landfill when I die.

They just don't want it!
