DOWNSIZING IN AUSTRALIA
Avoid putting things in storage
Don ’ t be tempted to put the items that you decide to remove into storage ‘ just in case ’. Putting things in storage is just a way to put off making a decision and it can be costly . One of the main goals of the downsizing move is to decrease stress . You don ’ t need the worry of an extra bill or concern over whether or not your things are safe and protected in the storage unit . Besides , wouldn ’ t it be better to give your things to someone who can use them rather than have them sitting idle ?
That said , it may be that you need to temporarily put your things in storage if you can ’ t immediately move them into your new home . If this is the case , ensure you choose a storage space large enough to accommodate your goods comfortably ( but not too large so that you are paying for unnecessary space ) and that your storage unit is on the ground floor of the storage
