Our previous article discussed the importance of beginning to plan your move at least two or three months in advance and also developing a budget for your long distance move. Today, we will discuss two more strategies to consider.

Research Your New Location

Before your move, take time to research your new location. Learn about the best restaurants, shopping, entertainment, recreation, cultural events, etc. in your new city or town. This can help generate excitement about your anticipated move. Perhaps consider taking a pre-move trip to your new location to help you feel more comfortable and confident about your decision to move.

Purge Unnecessary Items

The cost of moving services is often based on the weight of your belongings or the amount of space they take up in the moving truck. So, it’s extremely important to purge unnecessary items before your move. Start by going through your belongings and sorting them into piles to keep, donate, or sell. Consider selling items on online marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist to save money and make some extra cash.
