The Challenge: Our client, Donna, had the idea of transferring all of her clutter from her home to a nearby storage unit. When she rented two units, one 8×10 and one 20 x 20, and still could not get any more stuff in them, she knew she needed help. With so many things stacked into a small space, Donna was unable to get to any of things she occasionally used, like Christmas ornaments. The bill for renting the space was over $2000 a year! Donna decided to face her clutter problem but was overwhelmed by the task of what to do with two units full of stuff.

The Solution: Storage unit rentals are not a permanent solution for clutter and often invite more. Clients think the problem is solved because they don’t see the stuff, but it keeps piling up. With this client, we sorted through everything and Donna examined each pile deciding what needed to be kept, what could be donated and what could be trashed. Some items she brought back into her home to be used. Some items were sold on Craigslist. We were able to take a rental expense and turn it into a tax deduction and some extra cash. Plus, Donna can easily get to her Christmas decorations that are now stored in her home.
