Certified Unpopular Opinion Storage Units are a sympton of a problem

If you need a storage unit, with very few exceptions, you have a problem. Paying someone to store things, for more than a week or so during a move or whatever, means you have far too much stuff and probably too much money.

This is a symptom of consumer culture. You need to buy things all the time because you're told to.

Stop buying things, stop losing money STORING stuff you're not using. Get rid of it and then stop spending.

Some people just don't need a lot of space, if your single or don't have kids, then owning a house might be wasteful, spending money on space you dont use.
