I am a minimalist, I like having what we use and thats it...I like thing clean and organised....my hubby and daughter are not minimalists at all...they aren't hoarders but they have a lot of stuff...my hubby mainly tools (they both build furniture together at times), his prospecting and camping things, his leather work and sewing...just a lot of it....my daughter makes jewellry and also likes to do sewing...so she has a lot as well as all her baby stuff...not only do they have 2 rooms each and the shed, but we also have a storage unit....I just want to go through it and get rid of it all...but I won't its not my stuff and they usually keep it neat and tidy so that isn't an issue...does anyone else deal with this? do you live with someone who likes their stuff and they have a lot of it??

If it costs more to store stuff for a year than it would cost to replace it, then I think you should sell the stuff and buy it if/when you need it.
Maybe if you are temporarily living in smaller space, and you consider the storage as part of your rent, it could make sense to rent storage to hold on to sentimental objects.
You want to buy a house. Would not storing stuff give you a deposit in two years?
Or does the storage allow you to pay a lower rent because you don’t need rooms that you heat/cool for stuff?
Do you frequently get stuff out of storage?
Are you holding on to things you never look at or use and someone else will throw away when you die?
I live in a small space, and if I buy something, I pretty much need to get rid of something. I don’t pay to store anything.
