The Frugal Girl

I am just thankful to have a full-size washer and dryer and an unfinished room with storage. When I was initially looking for places to rent, I considered an apartment, which probably would have had a much smaller laundry room! I would have survived in an apartment, but man, it’s really nice to have a house instead. ?

If you are renting, doing a big closet renovation isn’t usually possible, and they can sometimes get pretty expensive if you own a home. I rent and because of this, we move every couple of years anyway. Invest in Storage Bins Storage bins can be really handy for organizing a small closet.

You can also make money when you rent a room or your whole apartment or house using Airbnb. Some of those who list on Airbnb make it a point to never rent to someone who doesn’t have a picture and a fleshed out profile. Put some items in storage. However, it’s not just a way to save money when you travel.

We had two options: wait a day to leave Florida or rent a car once we got to Philly and drive to our parked car at the Harrisburg airport. As much as we would have loved an extra day in Florida, it wasn’t an option, so we rented a car. Hopefully, they will last a long time, we shall see.

How much space is used for storage in your home? Here is an interesting exercise – get a pen and paper; write down the total square footage of your house and the monthly mortgage or rent amount you pay. If you determine that you have 1000 square feet allocated to storage, it’s costing you $710 a month just to store all that stuff!

These will include things such as insurance, property taxes, gasoline (to get to the lake and to boat on the lake), maintenance, boat slip fees and storage fees in off season. Since all they like to do is tour, renting a boat for a couple of hours gives most what they want in a boat ride. We rent it out during the hot season.

When we were all settled in, and the weeks after that, we realized how jaded we were in thinking that rent, groceries and utilities would be all we needed. Storage bins. We moved out, and my parents helped us move into the basement suite that we would call home for a little less than a year. Toothbrush holder, soap dish.
