so after four years you spent 2 grand on your storage unit... do you have more than that in it? I considered getting one and then thought it wouldn't be worth so I sold all that stuff too...
ReplyDeleteYes sometimes we wish we had sold everything, and we knew it wouldn't take long for the cost to go over the worth. Unfortunately we didn't know if we would enjoy this life style, so we didn't want to sell it all. We sold almost all the furniture, except for a couple antiques pieces, we didn't want to let go, and then there is always the boxes and boxes of pictures and keepsakes that money can't buy back, so we just grin and bear it as a RVing cost!
