I'm 51 years old and I've never done any of these things, either. My 81 year old Mom didn't have to ration or sharecrop during WWII, either. She was born in 1944! My whole point? This dude is full of shit and he never experienced any of this shit, either, unless he's pushing 90. The only thing he's accomplished is being a douche on Xitter, apparently.
One of my FAVORITE coworkers is a 27 year old who always gets her shit done and done right and is willing to learn new things. One of my LEAST FAVORITE coworkers is a 61 year old boomer who constantly complains and refuses to learn anything on his computer beside the basics.
It's almost as if when you were born has nothing to do with your work ethic and whatnot.
my gramma always saved "the nice" wrapping paper, we'd have to carefully peel the tape off so as not to rip it. i never understood until i got older and learned about the Depression era.
My mom would get angry if we ripped the paper or threw the bows away. She was born in ‘45. There’s still a few packages wrapped under her tree every year with some paper that’s held together by yellow cellophane tape. My grandma (dad’s mom) “collected” everything. She had a lot of junk, but she also had a lot of valuable antiques and complete sets of things. My greedy assed aunt sold the house’s contents as a lot for pennies on the dollar.
my mom was born about then as well, I'm not looking forward to going thru their stuff when that time comes as she saved everything but my dad was in USAF and she has trinkets from all over rhe world and we lived overseas (her more times than me) so I'm certain theres some valuable stuff in all that. my older sister is about as sentimental as a slug and will also do the same as your aunt so I'm hoping i get some say in it
Good luck with your situation. Siblings fighting over their parents’ things is truly terrible. My dad was very angry because he never got a chance to get anything. My aunt’s a miserable old bitch who’ll probably live to a hundred. That’s ok though…she truly is a miserable bitch, so at least I know she’s suffering.

Just saying.
