Just box everything up, call them and they will come pick up your boxes. I moved across the country once for about $300.

You already have enough stress with everything else. Having someone pack for you is well worth the money because it can releive a lot of stress. You already have enough stress with everything else.

That's money well spent. If I am moving in town, I do it myself and get friends to pitch in. I've also moved across the country and to/from Mexico. In those situations, I sell all my things. It's just not worth lugging it all around. I also believe it affirms that I will have to means to replace those items if I want to in the future. I don't want to operate from a fear-based scarcity perspective. Good luck with your move!!! It sounds like that $323 will be well worth the reduced stress. That’s money well spent.

I've moved cross-country 2 times myself, with 2 completely different methods: The first time, I drove my car and my father also drove his truck, and bought a trailer just for the purpose of moving my stuff. When we arrived at my new home, we unpacked, and my father took the empty trailer to a place that sold them, and sold it on the spot for the same amount he paid for it (and we were rid of it the same day we unpacked)! The second time, I didn't really care to keep the stuff I had (am quite minimalist myself), so I sold everything on Craigslist and moved back with only what I could fit in my car. I plan to make a large move again in a couple of years and will probably do the same thing. Best wishes on your move! Hi David, I really enjoy your posts.
