CMFTO™ Blog

It’s been a long winter in Chicago, to say the least.

How many days have you been stuck inside, staring at the contents of your home, mentally disturbed by all the unnecessary clutter?

Comedian George Carlin said it best: “… the whole meaning of life, trying to find a place to put your stuff.”

Much of the “stuff” we acquire throughout our lives does matter.

It’s time to talk candidly about self-storage. Too many times I hear my clients say, “Let’s just put it into storage.” Sometimes it makes sense, but 99 percent of the time it’s putting off the inevitable with significant cost.
