Most shelters love donations of things like hangers because that's the stuff people don't think of. I worked in a domestic violence shelter and we always needed hangers and stuff like that.
My storage unit is my attic 😂 I’m the 6th generation living in this house, and let’s just say there is everything from furniture to pure trash from all previous generations up there... Also I might mention that I’m in a wheelchair and while I would be able to get up there (with help obviously) I would need some serious time, energy and man power to make it worth while. Cleaning and organizing 250 years of clutter isn’t an easy task 😂 plus there have been renos done so I’m not even sure beds or couches would fit back down the stairs. Although it would be therapeutic to throw them out through the window lol
When I first saw the storage space I was like "Oh this won't be bad, that looks tiny..." Little did I know you had the clown car of storage spaces, stuff just kept coming out! Congratulations on facing this and clearing it out! I tend to avoid stuff like that because of emotions attached to things, but then I'm always glad I did it. You should be very proud! :)
I’m so happy for u at 29 smart move I’m 63 and have 4 units very neat but super full for 7 years u have inspired me. We have a 27 year old daughter and a 1/4 of the stuff is her’s. Thank u for sharing your young smart mind. Love your videos
Hi Sarah. Maybe you will read this. I am a silent viewer from Germany since 6 years . This Video also let me looking back in Time an made me emotional too. When i was first started watching your Videos my first daughter was 1 year old and i was 23. Now i am a mother of 3 and almost 30 . I changed so much in my personality in this time period . And so do you. It is Kind of Wired that i Kind of "know" you and you don't even know that im existing. Anyway, i just wanted to say that you inspired me to clean up my basement ^^. Byyyy. Tina
Whenever i hear someone say they have a storage unit or are going to get one, my first thought is always that they'll never come back from that. Same thing with garages. Is it weird to say I'm proud of you Sarah? I went thru this same thing last year when i cleaned out my storage at my parents shed that was all me. So i know exactly what you went thru. I'm happy for you.
Yep, I can be all high and mighty about not having a storage unit, why would you have stuff you can't keep at your own home? But dear lord please do not look at my garage. That brings me right back down to earth lol.
@@Blueyez369 well i guess the way people see it is that at least the garage is rent free 😂 my parents didn't have a garage but a medium tool shed that was mostly mine, i was pretty embarrassed of that. It's like Sarah said, became a black hole. Going in there gave me anxiety 😰
I learned awhile back from a minimalist video that there never used to be storage places till they saw a need for them as everyone at time didnt wanna toss anything so was able to pay to store it away from home anytime. so u like kinda wasted money paying for space instead of just tossing what u not need really. we used to have a big room and then moved to smaller to pay less then got rid of them all together cause cost so much lol. they are not bad to have , but it just shows how much u really got if u gotta store at a place to make room for stuff u really want lol. so good u had chance to clean it out and decide what u needed to keep and toss or donate rest. so now u can save money more since not gotta keep the space no more to pay for over time.
Fun fact my fiancé’s grandma has at least 5-6 storage units in three different states! Not even a tiny one like yours like straight up fuuuull size. Lol. She’s a junk queen!
it's so interesting to me that those seperate storage units are a common thing in america. no one here rents such things, there aren't that many in general. you usually have your own storage room in the cellar of the house you're renting your flat in.
YUNG FALCO I did not Think these where a thing in my country until I learned that my grandma rents 3. Just for clarification she lives on a 2-length former farm alone, but the barn is full of junk too. There’s definetly a hoarder problem there.
Going through stuff is definitely a serious trip down memory lane. Its a trip. But your advice for ppl thinking abt getting one should consider throwing it out very true. Decluttering is such a relief.
My dad has always said that most things people store, could be bought for cheaper then the cost of storage. So he says why store old things. Hopefully you can save that storage money. Looking forward to you make good use of the sewing machine. Good for you.
Maybe in USA people have more money to waste on storage units to store junk than they have common sense. Just buy and use what you actually need and use. End of story. Enjoy your weekend.
First one! Lol I love you Sarah! Can you do a video on movies to watch in the month of October?! (Stuff other than the typical Hocus Pocus and Halloween)
I’ve done a video like this before but am definitely due for an updated list I think! (here’s the original video: ruclips.net/video/TLyT6fSswVs/видео.html)
It’s very therapeutic and uplifting to be rid of the storage unit I’m sure. My mom’s storage unit that had almost all of her things and my childhood items and missed a few payments and they sold everything inside. All my childhood things are gone. It really sucks but at least it’s dealt with and she doesn’t have to pay for it anymore. Same for you! This video was fun to watch :)
I don't have a storage unit but I am hoping to organise and sort out underneath my bed. I'm moving to university in a couple weeks and really want to have that done before I go! This is great motivation for me to get it done! 😂💖
I've been selling, donating and moving out since I was a child and feel quite the opposite. There are things I got rid of that I wish I could have back now and it makes me sad to know that they're gone forever
Pvris Suicide I have just emigrated to japan and my mum gave me some keepsakes she had when I had as a child. It brought back so many memories of my childhood. I was so greaful , so I totally understand what you mean, I am starting being more thoughtful when I sort things out and I have been.
@@dottieland7061 I used to be like that, until I realised that my memories don't live in my things. Whether I keep the thing or not, I'll always remember and cherish the memories of people dear to me.
I did save one or two college text books, but I went through them and got rid of a ton recently. I graduated NINE years ago and NEVER cracked those texts open. Donate them to a library!!
you’re making me question keeping them! I honestly probably won’t open them at all, it’s just a subject I loved so I think I’ll want to revisit them but realistically will I??
In sweden we have atleast one room ( förråd) for storage, if its not in the apartment itself its either on another floor in the same building or in a separate building close to your home that's included in your rent. Is this not a thing in the states? I can't think of one person I know that have a separate storage room they pay for.
@@WuZZupifywell some ppl with houses in the US have garages or attics so thats storage space. But if her parents had their own stuff they prob didnt have space for all her stuff besides the bedrm she moved into 🤔
@@conflictpersona8 so is it common that you have to store things in your parents home when you move to an apartment because it doesn't come with an storage unit or is it just because people in general have to much stuff? I'm just curious, things works so different in Sweden VS the states
@@WuZZupify In my experience it is ridiculously common here. Most of my friends in college were storing things at parents or storage units. Then when they moved after college, they just got more storage space. We have a seriously consumerist society. My mother even just bought a three bedroom house a few weeks ago. Its pretty big, and has a shed. Shes using a bedroom as a walk in closet, and has four closets filled with clothes. Its seriously disturbing how regular this is.
You did a pretty good job. If you haven't already... you should read the book tiddying up by marie kondo. It's an easy read and reminds us of the stuff we should and shouldn't keep.
First time viewer (thanks algorithm). I always forget how many people can be watching you when you're out vlogging in public. Ah yes, security cameras, strangers, and anyone you speak to in a drive-thru. So glad I don't vlog, yet so glad others do 😂 Thanks for the vid!
a rant on college books: after i finished uni i had a ton of books that i knew were going to waste because each professor published their own book for a course and they did it evey 2 years with small changes and amendments so the students had to buy it every time because the older ones had "outdated information" and the uni library didn't want to take them when i went to donate them 😤
I manage a storage facility. It’s an interesting job and I meet people from all walks of life, and they are all always in the middle of different situations. My biggest advice to anyone getting a unit is to set a time limit of having it. Otherwise it’s out of sight, out of mind. Especially with the options of autopay.
I know it's very hard to let go of books but I did the Konmarie method and now I truly love the books I have and was happy to donate others to the library!
I did that too. I had piles of books that I wasn't going to read ever again but kept them now after Konmari I've a bookcase with books that I absolutely adore. And re read every so often when I feel like it.
I got a ebook reader about 3 years ago. So I just kept books, that are emotionally important for me. Like a 70 years old book, my grandma got by her grandma, when she was 10 years old and that I got from her the same age. It's a teen-book, but I still read it. And some day, my grandchildren will get it.
You will save a lot of money if you donate a lot of stuff. I know it's hard parting with things but in the long run you will feel much better.Good job! I have been helping a family member clean out years of stuff from the home. I know what it's like.
I’m moving back into my parents till I graduate. I refuse to get a storage unit. I am lucky my brother has a basement. But I am condensing my stuff. I don’t need a lot of it. This just confirms that I’m doing it right lol
do u regret having this unit? I always hear if it's important enough to you to keep it should be in your home and you using and enjoying it daily. if not get rid of it. Priorities man LOL why pay for your junk over and over and over...
So glad to see you eventually transferred many items to donation center. A six yr old couch is not really a "benefit" in your current bedroom. Sell on Facebook for $50. You will be able to buy something similar, later, when the time comes for you to get furniture. Seeing the old emotional triggers can be tiring. Hugs
I absolutely love organizing and cleaning which is why I watch so many of these types of videos. When I watch cleaning and organizing videos I always have a physical urge to jump through the screen and clean for people. If I scroll down to the comment section of these videos everyone is always saying this motivated them to clean and I'm left wondering if anyone else watches these videos doesn't need motivation and just watches because they have a deep desire to organize consuming them. Can't wait until I have an apartment of my own so I can organize it repeatedly. 😂
I might be moving into my first house here in the next couple months and I’m looking forward to purging all the stuff I don’t need, I can’t wait. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I know that this has nothing to do with cleaning but I noticed that you like Stephen King. I used to live down the road from him. His house is awesome.
I am really proud of you for going through everything. I have an attic space that I need to go through again. There is a decent amount in there due to there being 5 of us living here and 3 generations. It’s amazing the weird junk that we hold onto!
I just went through the same thing about a year ago. It was so emotional and at times frustrating because my boyfriend was trying to help me, however i was hanging onto things that were hindering me. I gave away some things my aunt gave that i didnt need and unfortunately she recently passed away. So that was the most difficult. But in the end it didnt matter because my memories with her are worth more than anything i was keeping around.
My husband and I got a storage unit when we got engaged (when we were both still living with our parents). We were buying furniture or having it given to us and a unit saved us so much hassle. It's impossible to fit two couches, a dining room table, and a bunch of kitchen stuff in two bedrooms (with bedroom stuff)! My sister's storage unit was basically trash though. Everyone is different.
This was very therapeutic. We have a three bedroom house that’s been sitting for ten years completely full. When we moved we took our personal items and some sentimental things and left everything else. Who does that?! I’m going to start going back over this week and getting it cleared out. Like you said, if we needed anything we would’ve taken it out by now.
Do you ever feel a moral guilt by getting rid of things knowing that it might end up in a landfill? I feel like I struggle so hard to get rid of things that I know I don't even want because I don't want to feel like I'm polluting the planet :/
I get that, but it makes no sense to keep these things only because you feel guilty. I think as long as you learn from it it's fine - now you know what to avoid to buy in the first place. That way you will make a change in the long run.
the idea of a storage unit is so strange for me, coming from italy haha we don't have them here, not that i know of at least, this was a really interesting cultural insight into the USA!
There is one building of storage units in my town, called "house of the things", but in Italy where I live isn't so common to use them. Actually now things are changing, consumerism is getting even here and people are starting to buy more and more. I'm in engeneering minor (last year of the first 3 year) so I'm super poor and super minimalistic ahahaha, I do actually keep decluttering my small room!
Halloween decorations right up front, knowing the priorities. Also wish I had the comfort of mind to be able to throw stuff out because I know I don’t need it.
I am very impressed by you living in such a small home. It is not really small but compared to my apartment it is. I just find I need more and more space all the time. Not that I have much stuff (I am actually a minimalist). I just want to walk around and feel all the free space (I am really weird like that 🙈). I feel claustrophobic really easily.
thank you! I’ve always loved having a small space and seeing how I can store things and make use of the space. when I played with barbies I would make their whole house in one shoe box and loved designing the small space. I feel like I was just made for small spaces! lol
It is very cathartic to do this and it can be so emotionally draining as well.... in Britain they have a show called "The Life Laundry", where they just go in and force people to go through their crap and get rid of stuff that they don't want or need. I just love the title of that show.
I moved a few months ago to NYC, leaved every single piece of furniture I owned behind and decided to start fresh! Now I don't even own a bed. Lol I'll slowly start getting my stuff back together
I came to this video via the recommended videos and at the moment the video started it felt like I saw and an old friend. Actually like I heard an old friend. After Some digging in your old videos I realised that I used to watch you 6-7 years ago! Haha totally random but it felt so nostalgic. ❤️
Oh girl....we just did the same thing in September.....and it had been there for 6 years as well. Ours was a larger unit and half went to trash. A lot got donated, and now I still have things I want to sell or get rid of now that the holidays are upon us.
Is there anyone out there that knows the name of the song/artist for the song throughout the video?? I assume it’s a copyright free one. It’d be the perfect vibe for a video I want to make! Much appreciated if someone knows!
I really love a declutter and do it a couple times a year it does make me feel better and I actually really enjoyed watching you declutter too, who knew I needed this! 🖤💜💜🖤
Most shelters love donations of things like hangers because that's the stuff people don't think of. I worked in a domestic violence shelter and we always needed hangers and stuff like that.
i hate throwing things out so seeing that old toothpaste in your storage spoke to me on a spiritual level 😂
😂😂 I love throwing things away/decluttering. My soul feels lighter 😂😂

Same, I love to throw stuff out but starting the process is where I struggle lol
Hell naw!
the backstory of the storage unit at the beginning of this video made me realize just how long ive been watching your channel :O
Right? Currently remembering blonde/purple newly single Sarah!!
@@alexryan3317 me too!!!! And I've watched every video since not even meaning to just genuinely always been interested

Same I've been here since blonde sarah 😭 Her videos always bring me memories of a girl who was my best friend. Thank you for all these years Sarah 🥰
Just this summer, my mom and i cleaned out her old storage unit that she hadnt visited since way before I was born. It was _a lot_
Morrigan oh wow..that’s crazy! I bet it was kind of fun to see what was in there. Did you find anything good?
My storage unit is my attic 😂
I’m the 6th generation living in this house, and let’s just say there is everything from furniture to pure trash from all previous generations up there... Also I might mention that I’m in a wheelchair and while I would be able to get up there (with help obviously) I would need some serious time, energy and man power to make it worth while. Cleaning and organizing 250 years of clutter isn’t an easy task 😂 plus there have been renos done so I’m not even sure beds or couches would fit back down the stairs. Although it would be therapeutic to throw them out through the window lol
Throw it all out the window! Make a video so we can watch! Decluttering art!
I would like to see that
tbh i love these cleaning/organizing type videos!!!!! they inspire me to get up and do the same!
Who else just loves watching other people living their lives?
When I first saw the storage space I was like "Oh this won't be bad, that looks tiny..." Little did I know you had the clown car of storage spaces, stuff just kept coming out!

Hi Sarah.
Maybe you will read this.
I am a silent viewer from Germany since 6 years .
This Video also let me looking back in Time an made me emotional too.
When i was first started watching your Videos my first daughter was 1 year old and i was 23.
Now i am a mother of 3 and almost 30 .
I changed so much in my personality in this time period .
And so do you.
It is Kind of Wired that i Kind of "know" you and you don't even know that im existing.
Anyway, i just wanted to say that you inspired me to clean up my basement ^^.
Byyyy.

What i also wantedto das is
If you ever want to visit Germany, you'll have a Friend and a bed there.
:))))
Another German viewer here and I relate so much. I started watching her 5 years ago, I was 17 back then I sometimes forget how time flies by.

You could store the sleeping bags inside the suitcase and save space.
Love the low stress cat! I still have stuff in my attic from our move 27 years ago. Guess that is next on my list.
Wooowww all the $$$ spent to keep that stuff for 6yrs.....................
I would gladly take those Goosebumps books off your hands :)
Do Americans own so much stuff that so many people need extra storage units?
The majority of Americans, no. But storage facilities like that are all over and successful businesses, so many do.

Not a storage unit but I have a spare bedroom, it serves as a dumping ground lol. Definitely need to clear that space out.

If I scroll down to the comment section of these videos everyone is always saying this motivated them to clean and I'm left wondering if anyone else watches these videos doesn't need motivation and just watches because they have a deep desire to organize consuming them. Can't wait until I have an apartment of my own so I can organize it repeatedly. 😂
Yesss!!! I’m so excited for this!
I might be moving into my first house here in the next couple months and I’m looking forward to purging all the stuff I don’t need, I can’t wait. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Me : 😶 organizing 👀👌
My brain: there are spiders there
I know that this has nothing to do with cleaning but I noticed that you like Stephen King. I used to live down the road from him. His house is awesome.
I am really proud of you for going through everything. I have an attic space that I need to go through again. There is a decent amount in there due to there being 5 of us living here and 3 generations. It’s amazing the weird junk that we hold onto!
What's it say about me that I'd rather watch someone else clean out their storage unit, than clean out mine? Lol.
trust me I would too 😂
my bedroom is my storage unit
I find videos like this very helpful because it makes me more motivated to get my own cleaning and organizing done. Thank you!
why didn't you just sold all the stuff you know you wern't gonna use anytime soon after the first year?
I just can’t see the value in paying for a storage unit for years. Why not donate the stuff, and save the money you’d spend storing it?
I just went through the same thing about a year ago. It was so emotional and at times frustrating because my boyfriend was trying to help me, however i was hanging onto things that were hindering me. I gave away some things my aunt gave that i didnt need and unfortunately she recently passed away. So that was the most difficult. But in the end it didnt matter because my memories with her are worth more than anything i was keeping around.
woah, was that wig the one from your old Dr Frank N Furter makeup tutorial?
That sofa looks so goddamn comfy
I love how kitty is just hanging out in the middle of everything. LOL Typical cat behavior!
I love watching these videos they really help motivate me to sort out my life ah
My husband and I got a storage unit when we got engaged (when we were both still living with our parents). We were buying furniture or having it given to us and a unit saved us so much hassle. It's impossible to fit two couches, a dining room table, and a bunch of kitchen stuff in two bedrooms (with bedroom stuff)! My sister's storage unit was basically trash though. Everyone is different.
This was very therapeutic. We have a three bedroom house that’s been sitting for ten years completely full. When we moved we took our personal items and some sentimental things and left everything else. Who does that?! I’m going to start going back over this week and getting it cleared out. Like you said, if we needed anything we would’ve taken it out by now.
Do you ever feel a moral guilt by getting rid of things knowing that it might end up in a landfill? I feel like I struggle so hard to get rid of things that I know I don't even want because I don't want to feel like I'm polluting the planet :/
I get that, but it makes no sense to keep these things only because you feel guilty. I think as long as you learn from it it's fine - now you know what to avoid to buy in the first place. That way you will make a change in the long run.
@@veve7349 That's actually really helpful and made me feel a lot better about not keeping things thank you!
Around 23:20 my cat started meowing at the same time!
the idea of a storage unit is so strange for me, coming from italy haha we don't have them here, not that i know of at least, this was a really interesting cultural insight into the USA!
2:20 - my favorite part of the video, that cat. 😍😜
OMG you have inspired me so much! I moved into my first own house 8 months ago and some boxes are still unpacked... it's time to unpack!!
This is -crack coCaiNa- for me lol
There is one building of storage units in my town, called "house of the things", but in Italy where I live isn't so common to use them. Actually now things are changing, consumerism is getting even here and people are starting to buy more and more. I'm in engeneering minor (last year of the first 3 year) so I'm super poor and super minimalistic ahahaha, I do actually keep decluttering my small room!
Halloween decorations right up front, knowing the priorities.
Also wish I had the comfort of mind to be able to throw stuff out because I know I don’t need it.
Omg i hate owning a lot of stuff. It makes me feel ill! Maybe its because growing up my mom was borderline a hoarder lol
Sorry, I'm confused, how will you be saving money by having a couch in your bedroom?? Lol
Laura Baptista she means by not paying for the storage unit. It took me a second, too
yes not having the storage unit anymore lol we want to keep the couch for our future house!
I’m 100% certain that I have that same top, jeans, and sandals! Lol or maybe something just like them. ☺️
I am very impressed by you living in such a small home. It is not really small but compared to my apartment it is. I just find I need more and more space all the time. Not that I have much stuff (I am actually a minimalist). I just want to walk around and feel all the free space (I am really weird like that 🙈). I feel claustrophobic really easily.
thank you! I’ve always loved having a small space and seeing how I can store things and make use of the space. when I played with barbies I would make their whole house in one shoe box and loved designing the small space. I feel like I was just made for small spaces! lol
I'd love a video on your favorite books! I'm such a wimp when its comes to scary movies, but I love my books to be as creepy as possible lol
It is very cathartic to do this and it can be so emotionally draining as well.... in Britain they have a show called "The Life Laundry", where they just go in and force people to go through their crap and get rid of stuff that they don't want or need. I just love the title of that show.
show the stuff you did keep, I'd be into seeing that :)
Stuff just costs you money and time 😞
Think of all the money wasted paying for a storage unit for 6
years. Good luck decluttering.
I had a storage unit for 2 years I was so happy to get rid of it
I moved a few months ago to NYC, leaved every single piece of furniture I owned behind and decided to start fresh! Now I don't even own a bed. Lol I'll slowly start getting my stuff back together
I came to this video via the recommended videos and at the moment the video started it felt like I saw and an old friend. Actually like I heard an old friend. After Some digging in your old videos I realised that I used to watch you 6-7 years ago! Haha totally random but it felt so nostalgic. ❤️
Oh girl....we just did the same thing in September.....and it had been there for 6 years as well. Ours was a larger unit and half went to trash. A lot got donated, and now I still have things I want to sell or get rid of now that the holidays are upon us.
Is there anyone out there that knows the name of the song/artist for the song throughout the video?? I assume it’s a copyright free one. It’d be the perfect vibe for a video I want to make! Much appreciated if someone knows!
I really love a declutter and do it a couple times a year it does make me feel better and I actually really enjoyed watching you declutter too, who knew I needed this! 🖤💜💜🖤
