I hoard, except what I deem is actually useful for a business someday. Yeah, in my bedroom I have some boxes of computer parts from different times (so that in the PC repair business I could locate a spare that’s otherwise forgotten 10-20 years ago), and then in my garage there’s about a dozen boxes of bicycle parts (many spares, just enough to build another bicycle or two, then give away to a relative), and in between is a box of plastic resealable food containers (washed, of course) I saved because they can be reused and I find it awful to throw them away (unlike cups and straws and really disposable things).
OTH, a cousin and her family constantly buy a lot of different things, but can’t store them properly, have no time ever reorganizing, so about a couple rooms are filled with things they barely ever used.
IMO, hoarding happens to some people because they lost a lot of things in the past and thus impoverished, and once they get in contact with sufficient wealth would try to buy and keep almost anything.
