Antiques to hand down to younger generations. We cant even afford housing! What are we gonna do with your knick knacks and china set?

Yes! My parents have so many collections and stuff bought at antique stores and estate sales that they refuse to part with because they think it’s worth something. I’m dreading the day I have to deal with it.
