It's not really free of you can't find shit anywhere because of the many cables in the drawer, you meet to move it around if wou redecorate or move and you need increased home space to store all the stuff.

I like having tools in my home, don't get me wrong, but storage being free is an illusion. I still think the cost to be worth it.

Ok I get it, but it's not a quantitative cost.

I'd say it's not unquantifiable. The higher rent (or mortgage) you need to pay, the time loss for organisation and retrieval. It's small for one item, but it adds up and it's a recurring not a one time cost.

I can’t throw away a cable and get a lower mortgage.
