John collected stuff all his life
He filled his garage with stuff
Parking his car in the driveway
Filling his attic with stuff
Then he stopped going up in the attic
He filled his basement with boxes of stuff
Moving the boxes around to make passageways
When he had no more room in his home for his stuff
He decided to rent a storage unit
He had unlimited visiting rights
So he could take more stuff there at any time of night or day
Somedays he would just visit and go through his boxes of stuff
Finding things he had forgotten he owned
He never threw items away or donated stuff
He could not face the prospect of selling stuff and having somebody else own it
So he kept renting bigger storage units
His storage rental cost became greater than the mortgage on his home
John spent most of his time at the storage unit
With occasional visits to his home
Eventually John passed away and his kids sold the house
His stuff all went into dumpsters
The new owner of his house looked in awe at all the storage space in the garage, attic and basement
He started to acquire lots of stuff to fill those spaces
Eventually he had to rent a storage unit just like John
With unlimited visiting rights
