The space has high ceilings and a mezzanine, so the space is almost double.. So I can move all stuff out of my Public Storage unit 5x7, and my cubesmart 10x20 and save around $136 monthly.. I have 24hour access.. Now with the cons, the unit is not climate controlled, though I do have an option to purchase a portable $14000btu Ac/Heat unit, landlord may raise the rent if the unit is running all the time.. The place is 7.6 miles from my house compared to being 8 blocks away like my 10x20 is.. Also of course the move, and how am I going to move all my stuff there.. Option one would be to rent a truck, and hire friends for a days worth of moving, or pay another months rent, and slowly sort out stuff and use a friend with a truck to move stuff that won't fit in a car.. And also use friends in general to take loads to the new spot.. The place is a lease like renting an apartment.. First, Last and security, and he said he can work with the security as for paying that slowly.. So in the long run, I will be saving money, but I got to at least come up with $478 to move in... What do you all think?

Payback seems like 4 months or so, and more room? Winner.
As to friends, a case of beer waiting at the end of the move does wonders. I moved an entire house once for a Hardee's meal. (Ok, she was young, newly single, and cute too, but the burger was pretty sweet....
)
Also, some triage may be necessary - I got rid of a bunch of stuff when I had to vacate a rented storefront once. Three loads to the scrapyard for $13 bucks total - all steel shred or lowest aluminum price, as it was all mixed together, and January to boot...it paid for gas and a happy meal.
