My wife and I both are collectors, and display space in our condo can be a problem. We use most of the available horizontal space.

After a lot of unexpected and spontaneous moving, in my younger years, I became a minimalist, and I really prefer it now.

Tina Bouthillier

I used to but after divorce, grown kids moved out and moving to another state, I find that becoming a minimalist makes me alot happier

Melissa Spears

I don't collect anything anymore

Ry Kali

I am not a collector, I have enough trouble being a borderline hoarder.

Catherine Wood Alexander

I use to collect and some how i always loose it. After living with my mother n law due to her being ill i noticed she collects everything and her house looks like 1 on hoarders. I never want to live that way again. Now i feel if u cant use it give it 2 someone who can.

Laura Creelman Naughton

I use to be but now I say, “Do I need this to be happy?”

When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

Robert Davidson

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

I own a car

Phyllis

I live in the county and no buses available. I drive a car now, but in 3 months will turn 80 and want to stop driving. I will sell my car and pay people to take me to appts and vets etc. I have groceries and pet supplies delivered.

There are no buses in the country. If I lived in a big city, maybe I would.

Shane Hill

Because i don't have to.

Valerie Lantz

I live in a rural area without public transportation available.

Theresa Scherf

It's not an option. I live out in the country ca. 5 miles from town.

Lori Johnson

Public transportation is not an option where I live.

rover6rover

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!

I attended a destination wedding in Las Vegas and my kids (who were also invited to the wedding) joined me and we had a blast. The wedding was fun and we enjoyed the sightseeing.

We attended two destination weddings in the Bahamas and are attending one in Napa, CA, next week. We enjoy extending the trip to explore these other places.
