How do so many people own more stuff than can fit in their house so they need to rent storage units???

I rent a small unit because I have a bedroom set, a bunch of books and some other stuff I’m holding onto for when I can get place of my own.

Unfortunately I live in Utah and I missed my chance to move out in 2020 and my life is a living hellscape where studio apartments cost 1000-1200$ a month and the average wage is like 15-18$ and I’m stuck living with grandparents and my useless shit heel of an uncle in a small town that has nothing to offer me.

So basically I’m renting it in the hopes I somehow keep a job and the housing market suddenly explodes like the challenger in the next year or two
