the amount of storage you use and need grows over time, so this may be a hard dream to achieve. If I look at how much storage I require now compared to just 10 years ago, it is more than quadrupled. I expect that trend to continue.

For sure. However, lately, I've been seeing the storage growth rate increase faster than my personal use growth rate. Maybe it's just me.

Hard drive capacities have increased far more than fourfold in that 10 years, though.

which is why I have 1.5 TB left on my main storage.
