We moved a family member to Asst Living and at 94 years of age, she was not ready to give things up, so we rented a small storage unit for her. It’s worth $40/month to her. There’s nothing of value in it, I can assure you.
My friend & husband moved from a large farm house to a small house in town. They have 6 children but she told me if the kids come to visit and need a place to stay, then can bring sleeping bags or she’d pay for a motel room. She said it makes more sense than maintaining a large house when they don’t need it.
