So my day job is to sell real estate. Actually, commercially viable real estate. In todays market that can be a challenge. I have clients that look for land, homes, 4-plexes and other types of property. I even have a number of clients looking for mini-storage. Everyone is looking for a deal. And few of my clients are buying.

So, what does an out of work real estate agent do between clients? I clean out the mini-storage. Now I will admit, at first the mini-storage (MS for short) seemed like a rational idea. We (that is my wife, family and I) accumulate stuff....lots of stuff. Perhaps there is no room for the stuff, but its good stuff. Its MY stuff. Important stuff. 2 ft long fishing poles the grandkids might want to use. Accounts Receivable from 1999-2002. The stereo system pieced together and given to us by friends whose names I can't quite remember, except to say that I think they got divorced. Random pieces of particle board that closely resemble the shelves in the Master bedroom closet of our LAST house. Christmas decorations, Thanksgiving decorations, Oh so THAT's where those books went!

You get the idea.

Lots of important stuff. In storage for....get this....6 years.

Yep. Important, requisite, pertinent, useful stuff that we haven't used in 6 years.

Lemme do the math here... $70 per month x 72 months = 1 rather colossal waste of money.
