After spending decades raising families, many parents are excited to see their children move out of the house. While this can be a sad time for some parents, having the kids out of the house offers a little bit more freedom and opportunity. You may now have a room or two that is being unused. While some people have ideas about renting out these rooms, there are many other directions you can go. You can downsize, start a hobby, or focus on guests. Learn more about how Laguna Hills self-storage can help you live a more low-maintenance and fun lifestyle. Downsizing Once the children are grown and gone, you and your spouse may no longer need a house with three or four bedrooms. You can use this opportunity to downsize into a more feasible living space. Maybe you’ve dreamed of living in a different part of town or closer to a lake or beach. Perhaps you’re just tired of the high maintenance involved with a large home with a yard. Now’s the time to make your move. You can sell your home, move into a smaller place, and keep many of your larger possessions in storage. This will allow you to simplify your life and save money—it’s a win-win situation! Clearing Space for Entertaining Guests Now that the kids no longer need their bedrooms, you now have room for guests. Over the years, you have probably had many opportunities to have friends and family members stay with you while they visited the many attractions in Southern California, but you never had the room. Now you can have friends and family visit and stay whenever they please without making them sleep on the couch or floor. You can spend time with people you haven’t seen in quite some time and show them around town. All you have to do is declutter your kids’ old rooms and keep the items in storage. Having Fun Now that you no longer have dependents, you can enjoy your newfound freedom. For once, you now have time to do things you enjoy. You can clean out a room and start a new hobby, like painting or playing a musical instrument. You can take up golf or some other sport. You can travel or buy a boat. Southern California offers many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, so you can use a storage unit for sporting goods, boats, jet skis and other large purchases.
