Life: Going storage.

Extreme environmentalism? Tired of polluting? Why not take the ULTIMATE plunge, America and go STORAGE!

Some go green but I have made the firm decision to go storage. I will be putting all of my belongings—my life basically—into storage for a year. In other words, I am going to be a gypsy. I have talked to my family and they are going to help me out. Crashing on couches and investing in a good sleeping bag never hurt anyone right?

I am going to go from paying $975 a month to $300 a month (storage included as well as $200 to the pertaining family member’s household), which saves me $675.00. My goal in 2009 is to have absolutely no credit card debt and have a steady savings to go toward paying off half of my college loans or use as a down payment for a condo/loft. That is the dream. That is the goal.

I have never used storage before. I’m actually going to use it as a huge closet by investing in storage bins and garment racks to facilitate my wardrobe needs. My best guess is that I will be going through my stash about once a month to trade in clothes and organize my ongoing collection of magazines—a habit I hope to break in the New Year.

P.S. If anyone has any tips on storage for a unit or car PLEASE let me know. I am also investing in a trunk organizer since I will need the necessities with me at all times. I know it may sound warped but I like my stuff to be as organized as possible; even in a trunk. I will do my best to blog about this lifestyle I have decided to take on. Wish me luck!
