Family Treasures & Heirlooms To Save or Not to Save? That is the question. One that seemingly often comes up for individuals. Many families pass on antiques and heirlooms from generation to generation. Some items have great monetary value, and some have great sentimental value. While it is perfectly fine to give yourself permission to declutter some of these items, it is equally important to develop a strong family narrative for your children and family heirlooms help weave that story. Consider passing down some of these things to your next generation: Recipes, toys, jewelry, photos and scrapbook, vintage clothing, and collections. When you are making decisions on what to keep, focus on things that you truly love, have adequate space for, and can be properly cared for. Once you have determined what you are saving for your children, sometimes the biggest challenge is condensing the items into a manageable amount of space that doesn’t overwhelm you or the kids. Keep in mind that garage storage could be a dangerous risk to your valuables. If that is your only alternative, consider a climate-controlled self-storage facility where you can indefinitely store your treasured items safely.
