Reply to comment by Zergom in Add additional insulation to walkout basement wall cavity. Good idea? Bad idea? by hoppyending

That’s the answer I was hoping for. I thought the money is likely better spent elsewhere, but maybe some Redditor who insulates homes for a living knows better.

The only way to finish the walls and not lose the space would involve having a weird ledge on all of the walls. I’d rather sacrifice the space and have straight walls. My motivation for finishing the basement isn’t more space and I’m only finishing about half of the available space. If the basement wasn’t a walkout, I’d probably never finish it.

My landlord went with weird shelves, it's actually turned into a boon as we use them as actual shelves (these ones are about 8-12" deep around one side of the house). I appreciate the extra storage space. I know it's a little to late for you but figured I'd chime in my 2c :)

Yeah it tough. I’m in a bi-level and had a similar situation.
