The first thought I have which is somewhat supported by “She-who-is-to-be obeyed” is that you collect and build this stuff and dream about enjoying it in retirement. So it seems like a waste to sell it off when you retire because of moving to a place that makes it impractical. I don't see myself picking oranges and dodging alligators either. Also I don't see myself enjoying playing bingo in the community house or whatever.
The question is how is the second "she" going to think about this?
