Moving?

Blog 64 …


Have you wished for helpful tips to rightly be accessible when you need them?  I have wished so!  They however do not seem to be at reach when you need them the most.  I recently moved, and was enormously barraged by the move’s nuisances, pricey expenses, and headaches.  For you readers out there however, the same should never be the experience.  I found available help since then from Daily Finance about home packing, and ways to lower relocation costs.  I suggest you pay heed.  Consider the following tips DF offers.  Get cozy and read on.

Accordingly, one great way to save is to time your move right. While the weekend may be convenient for you, it's also peak time for movers, so expect to be charged more on these days.  Also avoid the beginning and end of the month, since rates go up as leases turn over during this time.  Instead, try to schedule your move on a Tuesday or Wednesday in the middle of the month; it can potentially save you hundreds.  Shaving as much time off your move is also a key way to cut costs, especially if your movers charge hourly.  For furniture and other items that are too big to box, use brightly colored stickers or tape to mark which items need to be moved.  This way, you won't waste time fielding questions from your movers.  You can even color-code the stickers to indicate where the pieces should go in your new place.  Lastly, always save your moving receipts if you are relocating due to a change in employment.  In many cases, your expenses may be tax deductible, even if you don't itemize.  For more info, check with your tax consultant. 


Happy moving!
