Storage unit or a comfortable retirement... it's your choice.
"You just dealt with your clutter and your house is much neater. Congratulations should be in order, but instead of taking your former treasures or trash to Goodwill or the landfill, you rented a storage unit. You're spending $20-$300 a month for items you don't use or need.
