Our big spending season is here. According to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend an average of $1,000 per household this holiday season.
Yet before you head off to do your holiday shopping, consider what you and your loved ones will do with all the stuff you buy.
It’s no secret Americans have too much stuff. Evidence of this has been piling up for years in our homes, landfills, and storage units.
Data on the self-storage industry shows there are at least 1.9 billion square feet of self-storage space in America. The self-storage market value comes in at $48.02 billion (2020) with growth expectations reaching $64.71 billion by 2026.
While several people found the motivation to declutter over the last year, others are still dealing with closets, garages, basements, and attics full of stuff.
No matter which camp you fall into, you likely don’t want or need more clutter taking up space in your home or occupying your thoughts.
