October 6, 2005--storage options (response to comment)

 


I can't figure out how to respond to a comment, so here it is! :-)


>>Could you not put just your personal things in storage and leave your furniture, etc. and rent out your apartment furnished?<<


Renting the apartment out would make us lose the benefits we received for "building a new home" (Eigenheimzulage)--the difference in what we would have to pay on the mortgage would be larger than any rent we could hope to get, without even calculating the cost of storage! And if we just sell the place, we're willing to get rid of virtually all of our furniture--the biggest storage problem would be books. We have a lot. A LOT. REALLY a lot...
