So I'm wondering about the location (if space is available) "closet", "garage" or "attic" for the following:

• Luggage with plastic wheels (hard plastic or canvas suitcases)
• Christmas ornaments (wood, glass, plastic)
• Extra knicknacks (glass, wood)
• Papers (e.g. CC statements, old legal docs, tax returns)

I'm also guessing that cardboard boxes for storage are not recommended either? Rubbermaid or plastic file boxes are okay?

Many thanks in advance,

I have one good carry-on suitcase I keep in my closet. That’s all. I have a reusable Christmas tree in the attic, but I’m moving to a place with no access. No Christmas ornaments. No extra knickknacks. All my papers are in one 18” deep file drawer. I have a friend who was a consultant in mental health for twenty years and brought down several big file cabinets. Last year she had it all shredded. Most “attics” don’t have ladders or flooring! There are no basements. Garages are very hot and humid.
