Heh. Storage lockers are one of the first lessons you'll learn, then!

I used to be in the storage locker business. The ONLY people with shit in storage lockers are poor people, who are only getting poorer. There is nothing you own at 23 that is worth storing. I guarantee it.

Give the cool shit to your friends. (That way you will see it again, or get it back later when you come back to town, or want it again.)

Donate the rest to good causes. (It's a tax writeoff... which is completely useless for you at this age, but it's good to give stuff to good causes. That always pays off in many ways.)

If the sum total of replacing the contents of the storage locker is not 36x the monthly cost of the storage locker, you will lose money and damage your credit.

The ONLY people who come out ahead when they get a storage locker is the people who pay for 24 months in advance, and take everything out in the 22nd month. Like, if their entire house is being renovated/built. Everyone else loses.
