How I totally failed at Swedish Death Cleaning

Swedish Death Cleaning is the latest declutter fad.  The idea is to get rid of as much as you can so those left when you die won't have to deal with it.  So after you do the Maria Kondo's whole tidy plan and ask if each thing brings you joy, then you decide if your relatives will want to deal with it when you are dead.  If not you chuck it.  I'm not really sure it makes much sense but we have a bunch of extra stuff in the basement I needed to start somewhere. So I decided to sell all the Wii stuff scattered all around. We haven't played with it for years. I collected it all, lined up about 3 dozen games, took pics, confirmed the boys did not want any of it. Adam then casted doubt on it still working so I hooked it up to the TV upstairs and put in Tiger Woods golf 2008. It worked great and in fact I liked playing it better than the switch game I bought for the switch for Christmas.



I went back down to grab the newer Tiger Woods golf 2010 I left in the basement and found the box was empty. Turns out 80% of the boxes were empty because the boys took almost all the games with them...so I have much less to sell. But after having such fun playing golf when I can swing the controller like a club what should I do?

Well I decided to keep the Wii to play the better Tiger Woods but instead of having Jacob ship 2010 version across the country I bought Tiger Woods 2012, the best version, off Facebook,...so not only did I not get rid of anything I ADDED to my collection. But I'm sure when I'm dead the boys will be glad to get the newer version, so maybe I did this Swedish Death Cleaning right after all, thoughts?
