I've never kept anything in storage, but I am very sympathetic to those who do.
It's not logic, it's not money, it's the essence of your life. For many, many people, it's hard to come to grips with that.
Gypsysilver, you are so right, saying that final goodbye can be very hard! For some people it's like a death in the family. I wish you the very best as you endeavor to do it.
If you can't do it, don't beat yourself up, you are among many others. This life will change you and in a few years you will be able to give it all up without any difficulty. I've seen that over and over again!!
It's all going to work out well in the end!
