OMG, wife and I talk about this all the time, *LOL* its incredible, granted we are in one of the fastest growing counties in the USA so some short term storage might be needed, such as between moves, but all over NC and SC these storage places are popping up and I mean ALL around us, even the existing ones expanding!
For the life of me I dont get it! Yeah, sure some people as a one off may need one temporary if moving into a new home, but my god, what do people store in these things and why?
I ask why because is it people just cannot bring themselves to part with stuff? So what do they do? Leave all this junk for their kids to throw out once they are gone from this earth? Who wants to do that? Kids of their own overload of junk.
I dont get it, I think as Americans we have some kind of mental hoarding disease and way too much saved stuff that no one wants, just throw it away.
Wife and I make fun of each other at times so we are what I consider horders at times, but neatly tucked away in closets, no storage places ever. My wife has stuff from our daughter's elementary school saved *LOL* K through 6 grade in neat plastic containers. Our daughter is now almost 30 years old *LOL* I tell her, ask her if she wants it or throw it out which is what she will do when we are gone... stuff like that.
Life is really tough in America now adays is what I read all the time, then how is it that they build, build, build and expand storage places all over the nation for people to put all their unused junk it and pay for that storage by the month because they feel guilty throwing it away?
