I've got a relative who owns 4 houses all now in very shabby condition and all filled floor to ceiling with stuff, some of it rubbish and other stuff brand new unused (but now decades old) that he just bought for buying sake and hoarded away over the years, has around 8 cars and 2 motorbikes that I know of, all unused and rusting away.
He's still easily worth over £1m despite all the money he's frittered away and wasted, I reckon if he'd been a bit more astute throughout his life he could have multiplied that several times over.
But there's no sympathy from me, he doesn't appear to suffer from any obvious mental illness or had any past trauma in his life to account for his behaviour.
As far as I can see he just suffers from extreme selfishness and self indulgence, wasting huge sums of money over the years indulging his buying/accumulating of s

What am I missing? You have a wealthy relative that spends his own money as he chooses, is not ill but doesn't get your sympathy...?

I was replying to the poster who said he always felt a tinge of sadness at people living in shabby houses often crammed full of stuff, as though they all have some sad, tragic or traumatic story or mental illness which accounts for their living circumstances.t he doesn't need'?

I was simply pointing out that it isn't always the case and sometimes people live like that through choice even though they could have a much better standard of living and could use their money far more wisely and productively to improve their own or other peoples lives.

Ah, gotcha. Good point. I was simply pointing out that it isn't always the case and sometimes people live like that through choice even though they could have a much better standard of living and could use their money far more wisely and productively to improve their own or other peoples lives.

I guess so, but looking at the undisturbed grass and weeds in front of them from before the conversion they probably don't get used much. - https://goo.gl/maps/AhgYRDwSSn7Efiif8A few miles up the road there is this ! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/commercial-property-fo... Makes the shed look good value .
