The Chronic Consumer

I think we need to rent a storage locker or something. We have so much stuff that our house is starting to feel cluttered, which is something I can’t stand. We have zero space left in our garage or basement, and installing one of those pre-fab sheds in the backyard is probably not an option at this point. We’re actually looking at outdoor fireplaces right now, so if we go ahead and get one, we’re not going to have any room left for a shed.

The only other option is to rent a storage locker. There are a couple places within a mile or so of the house, so I know the facilities are available. The only question now is about the prices and contract length. We don’t want to pay an arm and a leg just to store stuff that we hardly ever use, nor do we want to get locked into a long-term contract.

Or here’s another idea. Why don’t we just throw away or donate the stuff we never use and quit buying so much junk??? Now doesn’t that sound far more reasonable?!
