One minute your attic is absolutely clean. The next is doing an audition for a reality show on anarchy. Bush period ski equipment. Teenagers would sooner die than touch, even baby onesies. Now enter convenient storage Hong Kong: the Marie Kondo for those who find minimalism objectionable. It’s a broom for life’s emotional hoarding not a magic wand.
Who else is scheduled for these venues? The guitarist whose amp count exceeds that of pals. The quilter hiding fabric stashes from discriminating in-laws from scrutiny. The startup housed in a 10x 10 “warehouse”—that is, a glorified closet. The brilliant action You are not renting actual property. You are outsourcing guilt.

Cash wise: City units are more expensive than your avocado toast routine. Rural ones, please? Less expensive, but you will need a Sherpa to locate them. Price increases come faster than a sneeze. Bargain like you would for street tacos. Some supervisors fold faster than a swan made from origami.
All of us are clinging to “someday.” Ministorage helps you to procrastinate like a master. It is strategic delay, not denial. Your house continues to be useful. your dignity? essentially whole.
