Carrying inventory has costs.
This is known.
I did some work for folks that sold used books on Ebay. They literally could no longer bathe at home because they had stacks of books in the bath. Even so, they would not part with their inventory because emotional investment. This did not work out well for them.
I hope you are able to transition to a leaner model.
Ahhh you understand through association!! Thanks. At the rate of square footage in my city, the cost is pretty damn high too versus using it for social or recreational purposes. I've debated a storage unit for overflow and high volume count items, but there simply aren't many good options nearby that are practical for daily zipping back and forth.
As for my bathroom, I'll admit that it often has several Dyson or Shark vacuums in there I've upcycled and need to clean up before parting out. I call it a small business sacrifice at this time and a small price to pay for the overall freedom I have, but it's not practical long term.
Thanks for catching my comment here and the nudge forward.
