We were paying to store trash.

That was my big takeaway from cleaning out the storage unit my husband and I had been paying to keep for two years.

I realize everyone is different with different priorities, but if you’re moving abroad, the easiest thing to do is leave most of it behind and pack the must-haves into a suitcase.

We wasted a lot of time, energy, and money by the time all was said and done to only end up giving away, selling, or trashing 95% of it.

Not worth it.
