No, much easier.

That's an interesting question.

I'm not sure it has to do with age so much as life stages. Like what you are going through at the time.

I have already gotten rid of so many things thru the years.

What I have now is pretty much all the things that still mean a lot to me whether just enjoying them everyday, looking at them, wearing them.

I'm still pretty good at getting rid of things I won't use or don't like anymore or don't make me happy to look at them or read them.

And sometimes something that meant something to me even weeks ago, no longer does.

Much easier.

Much less difficult.  I don't need as many material objects to maintain my day-to-day existence as I used to.

Much easier.  

I have no desire to surrounded by clutter.  I keep the most important, meaningful things and get rid of what I do not want.

These days, I lean really close to minimalism.  While some material possessions hold great meaning to me and I wouldn't part with them ever, I don't feel like that about many things at all. 

I am a world class de-clutterer.  I just don't let material things hold that much power, for lack of a better word, over me.

Easier if it is connected to me only.   Items that came from late mom, dad, sister, and late brother I just cannot part with.  My son and dil know there are things some even broken in a box under my bed that they will have to throw away.  I just cannot throw something connected them in the trash.  If it mine out it goes.

Easier especially if it's something that gets moved from place to place or was put away years ago and never looked at again or touched again.

I also remind myself I get to make the decision of what to do with it so our daughter doesn't have to do it.

Much easier...I have been purging for months. Get rid of all the junk. Make life simpler with less STUFF.
