Moving is one of the most stressful things a person can do. It doesn't matter if you are staying in town or going to another state -- basically you have the same preparations. Moving does not have to be a dreaded chore, but instead can be an opportunity to take inventory of your possessions and your life.

It is easier for someone who is organized, as there are many little details to handle. But even an unorganized person can have a successful experience if they follow these easy steps. Doing these things when you first learn of the move can save you time in the weeks and months ahead.

Let's face it: moving is always a big pain in the butt. You have to pack everything up, carry heavy items around awkward corners and hope you don't break anything fragile. While you may be excited about moving into a new house or apartment, I'm willing to bet that you're not excited about the actual act of physically moving your belongings. That's where a moving company comes in handy.

Moving companies, while they are always going to be more expensive than moving on your own, save you a lot of energy and stress. There are so many things to worry about when you're moving to a new place (and potentially town), that the few extra dollars required to hire a professional moving company may be well worth it to you. Plus, once you've calculated your final U-Haul bill (including gas, mileage, and your time), you may find that the price difference isn't as big as you thought it was.
