A lot of hoarding cases have NOTHING to do with poverty (in childhood or in the person's current life). I don't know that it always has to do with a specific loss, either. I've personally had the tendencies I have ever since I was a small child - I certainly wasn't raised in poverty and at the time, hadn't suffered any huge losses or traumas.
