Author: If you have been looking around on this blog you will already know that I have moved a lot in my adult life. An affordable moving company is the best way to move if you are cheap and/or you are broke.
There are numerous posts here to steer you in the right direction when you are ready for that cheap move. Instead of making you read them all here is a list of the best suggestions I have.
1. The Less You Have The Less You Will Need to Move. Streamlining your belongings to those things that you really need and really love will make your move easier and cheaper. Less boxes to carry, less hired help, less rental truck, and less gas you will need to spend money on. The best part is that you can sell many of your discards to make some moving money.
2. Get Your Friends and Family to Help. Whenever possible get those closest to you to help with the move. They can carry boxes and furniture to a rental truck, lend you there truck, or watch your kids while you are doing the heavy lifting. I know it can be hard to ask, just make sure you help them out when they ask. Don’t forget to supply some refreshments during the move and a party when all is done. Of course going overboard here could use up all of your savings.
3. Hire Locals to Pack and Unpack Your Truck for You. You would be surprised how inexpensive the teen age boys down the street are if you just ask them. Just be prepared to supervise when not hiring professional movers. O.K. You need to supervise the professionals to if you want everything to go well.
4. Rent Your Own Truck or Moving Pod. Full service moving companies are really convenient and you pay a lot for that convenience. If you are trying to save money on moving then you are going to have to go to the hassle of renting your own truck or pod from an affordable moving company.
I know most of these tricks are fairly obvious, but sometimes we all need to be reminded of them when saving money with an affordable moving company.
