Average rental is 15.8 months

Six of 10 boomers visit the storage unit one a month

In a recent year. 1550,000 units were auctioned off for non payment
and abandoned.

would never keep that much and when we moved about 2 1/2 years ago
made many grips to Salvation Army.
even after moving, I still got rid of stuff.


Ever watch the cable TV show "Storage Wars" ? It is amazing how much
valuable stuff people abandon to later be auctioned off.

Lots of junk too ;-)

Yes, I'd like to spend a day in a unit with Brandi.

I guess there is money in the abandoned stuff if you know where to sell
it.
