Grandich Publications LLC announces report on personal finance and hoarding: ‘2011 Grandich Self-Storage Factor’

Peter GrandichWALL, N.J. (CitizenWire) — Market and economic commentator Peter Grandich has long stated that one of the biggest maladies with the American economy is our obsession with “stuff.” The boom in the self-storage industry, he says, is symbolic of our addiction to excess.

To illustrate his point and warn Americans that it’s time to cut back or face financial Armageddon, the popular commentator has released the “2011 Grandich Self-Storage Factor.”

“We’re spending and consuming way too much and living far beyond our means,” says Grandich, publisher of The Grandich Letter and founder of the financial blog Grandich.com. “In essence, public storage facilities symbolize everything that’s wrong with our skewed, distorted values here in the USA. We need a 12-step cure from our stuff.”

In the “2011 Grandich Self-Storage Factor,” Grandich provides links to a number of commentaries as well as statistics on the rise of the self-storage industry in America, including the fact that one in 10 U.S. households rented a storage unit in 2009.

He also offers ten no-nonsense tips for breaking the spending cycle and helping Americans addicted to excess return to the values of our frugal forefathers.

“Until we, as a society, can go into full blown recovery from our addiction to spending and excess; until we realize that consumption has not left us happier, richer or more fulfilled; until self-storage facilities start closing down instead of breaking ground on new complexes, our economy will never be on solid footing,” Grandich says.
