Comments on: Moving Costs A Lot, We Discover (Slash Already Knew) http://thebillfold.com/2012/07/moving-costs-a-lot-we-discover-slash-already-knew/ Everything About Money You Were Too Polite To Ask Sat, 25 May 2013 03:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dean Ashby http://thebillfold.com/2012/07/moving-costs-a-lot-we-discover-slash-already-knew/#comment-25313 Dean Ashby Fri, 23 Nov 2012 05:19:42 +0000 http://thebillfold.com/?p=9320#comment-25313 It is indeed a tiring chore to move out. I've personally done that twice this year alone due to some unforeseen circumstances and I loathe having to move out yet again anytime soon. And I really wonder why do my stuff keeps getting more and more when every room that I move into is just a small one with little or no storage space for my personal stuff. Perhaps we could all consider discarding most of our redundant stuff before moving out and save on the movers' fees and transport them in someone's car instead.

I offered them a joint after they finished but I guess they had girlfriends making them dinner or something. Lame.

I periodically look at apartment listings, but I cannot afford any of them on what I currently make. It's quite disheartening. @redheaded&crazy Your situation, as described, precisely mirrors mine.

They were great and very reasonable. Another time I hired movers who HELD MY STUFF FOR RANSON, demanding extra hundreds of dollars in cash for "tape," and stuff before they would unload.

I knooow but that's so many more years of living at home. what I'd like to do is move into a furnished sublet so I don't have to move much of my stuff. and also can move back home if/when i go to school. @Mal*Pal I'm so directionless right now. It's very frustrating. What do I dooo with my liiiiife (good to know I'm not alone though I suppose) @Megano!
