29 Moving Tips

I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money.

M If you are starting over or have big changes in your life, you may also be moving, which can be stressful and costly, but stress can be minimized.

V You can move in the right season, the right day of the month, and week. September is cheaper than Spring and Summer. Mid-month and mid-week are less in-demand.  Cut costs and stress by sorting in advance and donating or discarding items you don’t need.  Why pay to move and store items you don’t need or even want?  Get kids and friends involved.  You’d be impressed how kids can sort and purge when they get into the spirit.  It helps them feel more in control, even if they don’t want to move.
