What a fantastic post... my aunt and uncle who raised me lived like this to a extent.. my dad bought house property with cash... built his house after work.. always paid cash for everything.. never had a credit card.. my uncle did work for Conrail and retired from there but her did it with zero debt.
Congrats on the empty storage unit... as a mover I see many people wasting money on storage every month... if they figure the rental cost versus the value of the contents they're storing they'd realize they would have been better off donating all that shit they've been storing to Goodwill or have a yard sale...
That is such an amazing perspective to have. What wonderful insight! If only people would understand that!
It does zero good to tell them..
