I'm working to finish my projects 1) so I can enjoy them. I'm cheap and get good deals on things that need to be fixed then can't get around to fixing them. I gave myself a 2 yr deadline and extended it 1 year because I'm making progress. I'm also thankful that health and usually cash are not a problem. That said, I don't want to extend another year and have to hurry because selling would be painful but so are unfinished projects.
and 2) because I don't want my wife to have to deal with them. She has already promised to call 1 800 junk be gone. To even the threat, I told her that I'm hiding lots of cash in my junk and she has to go through it carefully or she will lose a fortune
