the blob Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) I also wouldn't do it because it is too easy to get complacent about the monthly charges, which add up and really add to the cost of your purchases, especially if you are on auto pay. If you're running a business maybe you can deduct it, but after I had paid for a storage unit for 2 or 3 years I realized I had spent well over $3000 on this darn thing that I'm never going to be able to deduct, basically turning a lot of those dollar box books I was storing there into $2 box books. If your collection is too big for where you live then maybe it is time to trim the collection or get a bigger home. I got a bigger home Edited April 16 by the blob CAHokie and D84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your collection is so big that you gotta put some of it in storage, I would suggest you consider down-sizing. Mmehdy and D84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is too big for one room it is time to re-think it. Just get a really big room! Dave2739 and CHASEnBLUE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
