You can use them as furniture. Not a big but a feature.

I'm 31, my mom has unopened boxes in the house she's been in for 10 years, from the house we moved out of when I was 13, 3 moves in-between

25 yrs and counting!

Get rid of some stuff. I'm doing a purge myself just because I may have to move in the not-so-distant future.
shredder134
i have boxes that i just move around with me and never open.
BalianMoony
Mediocre. We moved countries 22 years ago, a lot of it is still in boxes
unclemeat70
When you finally do it'll be like Christmas.
neverendingbreadstick
That's my strategy with laundry
soulman901
4 years for me and I sill dont have a dresser
Axiim
It's been 15 years since the move into our house. We've still got packed boxes
cheeseslaw
8.5 years in our house, one box still behind our bedroom door. Not sure what's in there (and at this point I'm too afraid to ask).

My stepmom has about 50 boxes that has been moved 4 times now without unpacking. 20+ years old most of them.
fairybug
Happens to me every fucking time.
UnemployedInGreenland
We moved to Atlanta in February. Lost job, had to move back, which was half as difficult 'cause most of our stuff was still in boxes. Bonus!
Rverence
2 boxes of porn in my attic from 26yrs ago - moved 3 times and still never bothered to get rid of them , they`ve just moved with me
ElvisCampbell
You have too much stuff. I do too.
hiromagic
All those things in those boxes, you won't ever need them again.

So you'e normal then

I moved flat in 2010. It was 2016 before I finally dealt with the box that had a carton of curry powder in it that had spilled in the move.
ALogDriversWaltzPleasesGirlsCompletely
I feel much better now about the cinnamon that spilled in the last move in 2015... I just clean the other jars off as I need them.
MaterialisticWorm
Me when I moved to college... and every time I come home from my mom's bringing even more stuff xD
IStoleALoafOfBread
Psht...novice - I have a box that I packed 5 years ago for a move. I've moved 3 times since that and still haven't unpacked it!

If it makes you feel better, I still have a box I packed up in 1999.
MadeOfSteel
My wife is ocd and we just moved our 3 bedroom house to a bigger one. New furniture built (Ikea) and everything unpacked in 3 days
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
I moved 3y ago and unpacked the bare minimum (let's say 10%). Just last week I started unpacking the rest (and throwing away useless stuff)
mikenco
I got boxes of crap that are unopened that have travelled around with us for the last 20+ years! Your's is just how it begins! :)
Hennessy1972
Soon to be antiques
mikenco
Yep. Collectible Corgi cars and other stuff.
themobileappisbroken
I have boxes that are still packed from the move before last 5 years ago.
momof3doggos
Same. But about 7 years ago
missladymondegreen
they say that if you haven't opened the box for 3 months, give the whole thing to charity. don't open, just give. un, no. not gonna happen.
AllthesameBS

I have a very patient spouse I don't deserve.
JustFuckingWatchCowboyBebop
Throw them away?
themobileappisbroken
Can't get to them. They're buried under boxes from the last move 3 years ago.
hadtochangemyusernamesomyhusbandwouldntfigureitout
Throw those away?
JustFuckingWatchCowboyBebop
I donate tons of shit every year to local thrift stores. If I don't need it, someone else might.
JustFuckingWatchCowboyBebop
If you haven't used it in a year and it isn't tools, give it away or sell it. You don't need it
tagiau
I might need it eventually.
ITalkAboutGoats
I toss everything I haven't used in a year. Moving is dead easy now
Azraelgargoyle
My experience: 2 days after you throw it away, you need something from that very box.
Hennessy1972
We are 7 years moved and some of the kitchen boxes are still unpacked. Figured we dont need that stuff.
Twist1000
Might consider giving it to charity?
Hennessy1972
It is the plan.
madetheaccountjustforyou
So someone else can have junk they don't need?

is another man's pleasure?
hadtochangemyusernamesomyhusbandwouldntfigureitout
Throw them away
PleasantPeasantPheasant
But that feeling of nostalgia when you do open one it fucking unreal man!
bigbootybigfoot
My husband died, unopened for 2 years but as soon as i donated it he needed his custom made afghan suit that didn't fit.
MutantTurd
So... was your husband a ghost or a zombie when he needed his afghan suit?
iamthisguy247
Or donate.
hadtochangemyusernamesomyhusbandwouldntfigureitout
My bad. Yes donate, or curb alert. It's extremely freeing.
KLMairlines
This, this is my rule, if unopened for 1 yr, throw it out, you don't need that shit.
Azraelgargoyle
Never!
texasfoodman
Why not?
ohshitausername
Take them to goodwill or the salvation army :) if you've lived 2 years without needing what's in them I bet someone else needs it more

All things deteriorate over time. One day you will open a box of stuff that could've been used by someone but instead rotted away in a box.

The notable exceptions are inert metals like gold and platinum which is why these metals have become staples of the world banking economy.
