My wife and I live on Kauai, HI for roughly 8 months and the Denver area for 4 months. With the arrival of a new baby, I no longer felt comfortable leaving our stuff in her parents basement in the Denver area. The pile started to get bigger with baby stuff.
I got a storage unit for $59.50/month in Fort Lupton, CO. The storage unit is about 5.5 ft. x 11.5 ft. It's about 60 sq. ft. with a 9 ft. ceiling. The storage unit is also a little closer to where we stay in the summer (15 minutes) in comparison to her parents (1 hour).
We can comfortably afford it, but it just doesn't feel right. I know that it's worth a face punch, but it could be worse, right?
