   I have 2 kids in college and I'm trying to sell my house. So I've decluttered to make the house presentable and I'm waiting for my kids to graduate and get their own places so I can give them their crap back. Storage unit makes sense for me. But this is likely to last only 2-4 years and then I'll have downsized enough.

      Are you sure they even will want it back? Might be better to just donate it all now and save the money.

         75 y/o MIL is still fighting my wife to take her middle/highschool 'stuff' back to this day. She won't throw it out though.

            Your wife should just pick it up and throw it out then to relieve her mother of the burden.

               I'd feel guilty, but you're likely correct.
