When you share personal items with friends, family, or coworkers, being the one tasked with keeping the items in your home can be a big responsibility. It leaves you on the hook for keeping the items clean and safe from harm and crime as well as having to be available to get them out of storage when somebody else needs them. Instead of saddling one of your friends or relatives with this task, why not keep your shared items in Tempe storage? By sharing a self-storage unit, everybody involved can save money while having the peace of mind that their items are safe and accessible when they need them. Keep the Sports Team’s Equipment in a Central Storage Location By keeping your items in storage, they’re in one central spot that everybody can access. This way, there’s no need to call the equipment keeper early in the morning or late at night when someone needs to get a ball or bat for practice. It also means nobody has to rearrange their schedule to be home when a teammate needs items for practice or a game. Sharing is Caring There are a few ways an extended family can make use of a self-storage unit. One is keeping equipment for a shared boat or cabin in the unit. Another is to use the unit as a neutral storage spot for family heirlooms and children’s items when they’re between being handed down as cousins and siblings grow. This way, there is no fighting over who gets to keep certain items, no accusations playing favorites or intentionally keeping items from others, and no one person to shoulder the blame for any damage or item loss. Save Money by Working with Friends to Make Big Purchases Just like a family might share a boat or a cabin, a group of friends might consider making this type of large purchase together. Large purchases like this often come with a need for equipment, and equipment generally needs a place to stay between uses. Think of the purchase of your equipment for the shared boat, timeshare, cabin, or camper as an additional group expense. The self-storage unit where you keep the equipment can also be a shared expense, which helps everybody save money. Talk to your friends about splitting these costs – by working together, you can all have fun and enrich your lives in new ways.
