 The payoff of actually executing a tidying festival far outweighs the inconvenience of little issues like a missing screw every 8 years

 Mr Barker has it right.
Horading stuff against possible future need is hedging,
and subject to the same analysis.

In general, if you save something because you might need it someday,
discard it now and commit to buying a future replacement. 

Money stores as bits.
Stuff stores as atoms.
