Self Storage is the best. I can store everything in my house for such a low monthly rate. No matter how you slice it, storage is fantastic. You can keep all your precious belongings in your possession as opposed to needing to throwing all your belongings away, selling them, or giving it all away to friends or as donation. Also, when I plan to move but have a gap between homes, the last thing I would want to do is completely refurnish my new home. I can just toss my couches, beds and other belongings in a nice, secure facility until I am able to reunite with all my stuff.
