How Can I Store My: Jet Ski

This story is a niche and personal one, but I feel anybody might very well be able to benefit from it too.

Useful tips include: “The art of persuasion. How to get away with making a large purchasing decision, without getting in trouble with your other half”, and “what to buy during a questionable mid-life crisis… especially when you’ve just moved to the coast.”

You’re welcome, in advance, for this wisdom and research.

A lot of people choose an expensive vehicle as their midlife crisis purchase. And I suppose, technically, I do fit into this category. But I happened to choose one that is a little more unique. It’s safer than a motorbike and it takes up slightly less space than a car.

Basically, if you’re someone who is looking to pitch the idea of a Jet Ski to your other half, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve got this.

So, here is my story…

After taking an early retirement, I moved out to the coast for a quieter (if not simpler) life.

After a few days of watching the jet skiers having so much fun in the water each day, I did my research and decided that this might be a very good hobby for me to have too. A bit of fresh air and exercise, and a hobby that not many of my friends would share!

So, once my heart was set on the idea, I quickly put a case together and got ready to pitch it to my other half. I knew this would be my biggest hurdle, but I’m quite happy with the list of benefits I came up with. Are you ready?

Benefits of a Jet Ski during retirement:

• So much safer than a motorbike.
• Much cheaper than a Ferrari.
• It will keep me out of the pub. (Double win!)
• Think of all the free time you’ll have when I’m out from under your feet.
• You’re always telling me to get more fresh air and exercise.
• The grandchildren will love it!
• They make life jackets for dogs too! You’re always telling me to take the dog out more!

Quite convincing I thought, but they came back with a strong argument.

They said: ’Where do you think you’re going to keep it’.  Don’t worry though, I was ready for this one! ‘I’ve done my research!…’, I said.

‘Louth Self Storage. I checked them out and found the perfect unit. One that’s safe, secure, with a very reasonable rental cost. I can even get all the stuff that’s cluttering up the spare room in there too. That means you will be able to use it as your craft room’ See what I did there? I gave him them a little sweetener too.

I rest my case m’lud!

This didn’t only work for the jet ski, by the way, the dog also loves our new kayak!
