But yeah, it is funny commonality Jack and I have noticed around the boomers that we know, and we do know quite a few boomers.
Every boomer I know has multiples of every kitchen appliance.
Like, hey, Jack and Alex, do you need another waffle press?
Who has an extra waffle press?
Although, yes, I will take it.
I don't even have one waffle press.
We don't got room in this.
I'm not a Hampton Inn.
Look, with Instagram ads, with Amazon Prime free shipping, it's easy to buy stuff that you don't need.
Tiwu, T-I-W-U, thing I won't use.
And it's hard to get rid of that stuff you don't need because you just bought that stuff you didn't need.
The solution to us having too much stuff is storage units.
When your basement runs out of shelves.
And according to the Wall Street Journal, 17 million Americans rent a storage unit.
Get this, that's up from 10 million back in 2005.
125 bucks a month will get you a 10 by 10 unit without air conditioning.
If you want the AC, that's an extra 25 bucks a month.
But Jack, I'm sorry, pause the pot.
Is this the second story in two weeks we've done on the avalanche of boomer stuff?
Yes, the silver tsunami of retiring empty nesters.
