How To Save Money When Moving or Relocating

Moving can be a fun and exciting experience or a fresh start to a new beginning. However, moving can often bring upon added stress and frustration. With limited time constraints and increasing expenses, it is very easy to become overwhelmed. There is no question, moving will cost you, but you do not have to pay full price. Here are a few ways you can save money moving:

Hire a Moving Company – In retrospect, hiring professional movers may seem like a more costly approach. Now, if you are only moving a few blocks down, it may be worth it to borrow a truck and complete the move yourself. Yet, if you are moving a great distance, shopping for long distance moving services will not only save you time, it will save you money.

Billy.com is a great place to start when searching for online moving discounts. They will not only help you find a great deal on reliable long distance movers, but their professional moving companies will help ensure a stress-free experience by eliminating some of the top concerns such as packing, finding moving quotes, finding the best time to move and determining what type of lifestyle your destination brings. 

Organize Before You Move – The more stuff you have to move, the more money it will cost you. When removing clutter, I have a rule: If the item has not been used within the previous three months, get rid of it. Don’t hold on to something with the idea “ I may need it someday.” Label three bins or boxes with the words: trash, donate, sell. When you come across something you don’t use, add it to the appropriate pile. This will eliminate clutter, cut down on costs and who knows, you may even earn a few dollars by selling your old stuff.

Moving to a new location doesn't have to be stressful. Let the professionals alleviate your stress by saving you time and money on your moving costs.
