Moving Checklist

So I recently moved myself and also have helped some others move recently and I thought that I would write about some important things that you need to think about when moving that may be obvious, but are often forgot about.

- Get bills changed into your name. First start by changing your information with the post office. Driver's license, insurance, work, electric company, gas company, cell phone, internet, cable, memberships that you belong to, magazines, etc.

-Hire movers at least 2 weeks in advance if at all possible. If you are not hiring movers, than at least get the people who are going to help you lined up.

- Label your boxes and as they are brought into your new abode, place the boxes in the rooms that they belong in.

- Moving is a great way to get rid of your things, so donate or sell those unwanted items.

- Transfer your electric, gas, cable, internet, etc.

- If you are renting take pictures and make note of anything that is wrong with the place. This is great for when you move out and the management company tries to blame it on you.

These are just a few of the main things that you need to do in order to get ready for your move. Moving can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be if you stay organized and plan ahead things are likely to go more smoothly.
