If someone has a hobby that involves collecting things, its not hording.
It's not a waste of money in their eyes, if it really means something to them.
If you think less of them for collecting all those things, or spending all that money - its not a them problem, its a you problem.
If they're a bit tight financially, don't suggest to them to sell some of their stuff to help the money situation, if they're REALLY desperate they will, otherwise they'll first try find different ways to get more spare money.
People collect almost everything. Toys. Books. Shoes. Merchandise. Hats. Cars. Games. Movies. Coins. Stamps. Ornaments. Board games. Trading cards. Pens. Plates. Cans. Gnomes. Rocks/stones/gemstones. Lego. Soft toys. Alcohol. Motorbikes. Trucks. Posters. Cutlery. And so on.
If it means something to them, they should be allowed to spent, collect, trade and sell whatever they could possibly want without prejudice, judgement or being told they're wasting money or hoarding too much, by anyone.
This genuinely isn't directed at anyone in particular, its just based on what I've seen, heard, read and been told over many years and after reading things over the past few days I've finally got the urge to say something.
You do what makes you happy, don't let others put you off collecting things that have real meaning for you.
Most importantly, if your collection/s mean a lot to you, don't be bullied/pressured by anyone to sell any of them just to make them happy.
Doesn't matter if its your partner, family member, friend, neighbour, workmate or a random stranger. Their opinion doesn't matter, if its negative.
As long as you are happy, keep doing what you do. 😎
