Honest question: How long to you save trophies?

[Signals]

I'm planning on holding on to 2 of my awards. 1st Most Interesting Man In the World award and Stud of the year. :laugh2:

Stay Thirsty my friends.

Trophies you give yourself don't count. :laugh2:

I still have all my bowling trophies from when I was like ten...they are in a box in the attic, right next to all my dad's trophies from when he was in highschool :laugh2:

We have quite a few, mostly from when my husband played sports as a kid. He didn't want to get rid of them, but we didn't display them until we moved in to the house we have now and had an extra room. It's now the "sports room" for lack of a better name, and they have a place in here because they go with everything we have displayed. We add our kids' trophies to the shelf with the rest of them. Even though he didn't want to get rid of them, before we had a place for them, it didn't bother him for them to be in the attic!

Almost all trophies I got when I was a kid were thrown away. I did keep the state championship JUDO trophies I got. I don't display them, but I still have them. I don't know why I haven't thrown them away. They're well over 30 years old so it's not like they mean anything to me.

I've kept all my Air Force awards displayed on my "I Love Me" wall in my home office, but hardly anyone has ever been in there so it's not like I'm bragging about them. It's more for decoration than anything else.

I do, however, still display the "World's Greatest Dad" trophy my daughter got me when she was like 5 years old. I think it still matters even after 20+ years after I got it.
