The definition of a storage unit is a space, usually in the interior of an enclosed structure, which is used solely for storage. They are often used as a short-term solution for keeping items safe when moving. Sometimes they are used as a shrine where cribs, stuffed animals, and every school assignment created since 1985 are housed.
Most of the time, items which are placed in storage units by parents remain there for many years at a cost of several thousand dollars a year. Basically, your child’s future inheritance is being used to keep these “valuable” items. The irony is that most adult children will never want the contents of your storage unit. Fluffy the Bunny hit his prime in 1990, and the crib was considered a death trap a few years after you bought it.
The current generation of parents tend to take a more minimalist attitude towards collecting “things.” In place of storage units, they can keep a lifetime of memories via photographs on tiny flash drives or in “the cloud.”
As a result, shoeboxes are now the new storage units.
