There are many reasons why you might need a self storage facility if you live in Missouri City. With housing prices on the rise, it’s increasingly difficult to rent or own a home with enough inbuilt storage for all your possessions. Fortunately, American Mini Storage can help you reserve your space today in our secure, spacious storage facility. Reasons you need self storage in Missouri City Most of us need storage space for one of three very important reasons: Reducing the clutter Human beings are pack rats; we all love to collect things, but sometimes those things start to pile up - like the vase we inherited from Aunt Susie that doesn’t quite match our decor, the coin sorter Dad gave us that we never have used, and the antique sewing machine cabinet Sarah bought off eBay that didn’t fit her sewing machine. Clutter begets clutter, and it can overwhelm us if we aren’t careful. Research has shown that clutter raises stress levels, and with so much already weighing on our minds, why add to it? Decluttering a home can almost make it feel like a new place. It opens up rooms, and gives you a feeling of spaciousness. You don’t have to be a hoarder for clutter to clog up your home. Equally problematic is the everyday clutter that accrues due to a lack of adequate storage space in your home. Modern homes often do not have basements or attics in which to store extra stuff. A self storage unit is the perfect answer to decluttering a home. eBay and Craigslist More and more people are becoming eBay and Craigslist sellers – it’s a great way to earn extra cash without ever having to leave your house! UPS charges go by the box size now, so having things already boxed up and ready to ship makes selling on eBay a breeze. Once items are measured, weighed and boxed for shipping, a self storage unit is a great place to keep them so they don’t clutter up the house. That way they sit in storage until they sell, and are ready to ship. Inherited items and cherished keepsakes We all will eventually inherit items. They may be hand-me-downs from brothers and sisters, or they may be items we get from our parents’ estates. We all also have keepsakes with which we do not want to part. Sometimes no one else understands the meaning of our keepsakes, like the old football jersey from our high school varsity days – sure, we’ll never fit into it again, but it has important sentimental value. Self storage units offer a wonderful place to store these valuables so they do not have to be in the way in our homes, or gathering dust in a damp basement. Need more reasons to use self storage?
