I’m moving from a two bed house to a single bedroom in a friend’s home (crappy circumstances). I own all the necessary appliances/ large furniture but I won’t be needing any of them for an unknown amount of time.

The items I’m debating storing vs. selling are: a great couch that I actually love, A new living room table that I’m not impressed with but could keep if necessary, A fridge that I love but storing for a long time might end up being a hassel, A very loved, few years old stove that I’ve gotten used to, And a few years old washer and dryer that work great (only a few years old) but I’m not overly attached to.

I plan on getting a storage unit for all items I won’t need now but might in the future, or things I need every once in a blue moon. A smaller one is much better in terms of affordability but I don’t want to get rid of major appliances and then end up needing them sooner rather than later.

Friend already has their house furnished so I don’t NEED to keep anything besides basics and the extra money would be great short term, but replacing these things in the future would be a large financial strain/ extremely difficult depending on how quickly I would need to buy new ones.

So does the short term need for a little extra income and smaller storage unit outweigh the long term (possible) need for these appliances in the future? Thank you for the advice!
