It all finally happened. Our house finally sold and we found one here to buy. We jumped through all the crazy hoops they now have in place to prevent foreclosures. We closed on the sale of the house this week and we’re trying to move and settle in to our new home.
As you all now, I’m a bit of a tightwad and I try to save money whenever I can so here are some money saving tips to consider when moving:
1) Do it yourself! Don’t hire a moving crew. They charge an enormous amount of money to move your stuff. Try to do it yourself, as much as possible.
2) If you must hire someone, consider hiring some college students or other strong guys. Even if you have to pay a few guys $100 each, it’s so much cheaper than a moving company.
3) Call on friends. Friends should be willing to help you out when you need it, especially if you’re one that lends a hand to them. Call up all your friends and schedule a moving party. Promise to have pizza delivered at the end of the day or take them out to your favorite restaurant.
Stay tuned for more ways to save money when moving. What ways do you save?
