I would not rent storage units or plan on filling up the garage with extra boxes of stuff. If it's earmarked for storage you most likely do not need it. I agree with the others who advise selling most of the bulky stuff and bring the clothes that you actually wear, family photos, family heirlooms that can be handed (not hauled) to the kids when the time comes. We haven't downsized, yet, but when we do that is the approach that I want to take.
