35 Comments on It's Not Cheap to Move!
Jon, moving can be very stressful. It pays to do your homework when working with a moving company.
I'm moving tomorrow. One block okay maybe a 1.5 blocks. Fortunately the cost of the move isn't all that high but it's still stressful getting everything organized.
There are many costs related to moving. One needs to play devil's advocate and make a list of "what ifs" and research the related costs.
Congratulations on the featured post. Good advice for consumers looking to relocate.
I heard that if there is a dispute during the time they have your "goodies", they are held ransom until settled...What then? Only deal with well known insured businesses and read that small print...good post here
Very informative post. When I was a kid, we moved across the country. I can't imagine how expensive that was. Good topic and congrats on the feature.
I am a landlord and one of my retention tools is to send tenants at renewal time a list of costs associated with movng. Often staying with a rent increase is more expensive than moving.
Hi Jon, nice post. I didn't realize 20 million people move yearly... that's a heck of a lot of people.
Moving is a pain--and expensive. I also think as the years go by, and all the stuff we accumulate, the older we get, the more expensive the move. Yes, a lot of people move every year, which is good for our business, but a pain for those being transferred.
Hiring a moving company can be really scary. We were subject to that scam when they don't unload everything unless you give them more money. The 20/20, Nightline, 60 Minutes people do a good job in trying to unravel the scams but there are way too many.
Not only is it not cheap to move, but the amount of work both physiclaly and emotionally is tremendous.
R.M.~ You’ve been a big help, and big part of any successes I receive here in the rain, thanks for your positive reinforcement and friendship, I really appreciate everything…I agree purging before a big move can ease the process and $ave money.

Jon:
Moving across country is an expensive journey. Your advice may help people make the move as inexpensive as possible. There are so many places where you can be taken advantage of if you don't do you homework and investigate everything.
Evelyn~ Thanks for your kind words...BTW, I agree with you 100% homework gets rid of the moving problems. Get educated and budget right..Thanks for sharing..
Hello Jon,
Congratulations on your post being featured. It seems that years ago many people did not realize that it can definitely hurt financially to relocate from one location to another. More and more I am finding that people are paying more attention to overall cost these days. True I suppose one could make the case that it was somewhat cheaper years ago, however - costs can still add up if not properly prepared. Great post and truly great information.
Robert~ Controlling costs and staying on budget when moving is super important; we're not talking chicken scratch! Thanks for compliment & adding to my post,it's appreciated!
