    Moving on a budget

    My daughter goes to school in Los Angeles and will be living off campus next year. We have a lot of extra furniture gathering dust in our empty nest, and I'd like to have it moved to her. Does anyone have experience doing a move like this? I'd really like to keep costs as low as possible and need San Diego packers who won’t charge an arm and a leg.

    Dexter - First of all welcome to the forum. Second I love your quote. The best advice I can offer is to sit down and decide what really needs to go, make sure its still in good shape. The only inexpensive way to move is to get help from friends who are strong (school athletes) and organized and who will get down to business. Offer to buy lunch and beverages. Rent a truck and pack it up yourself. Make sure where you are taking the stuff will have adequate room for parking and unloading. Confirm where the truck drop off place is ahead of time. If you hire professionals or those who call themselves professionals, get references from people you know, not who they know. Good luck.

     Budgeting is a very difficult if your money is just enough on what you are going to buy or on what you are planning on that money. You must know how to budget it very well. Smile

     Thanks for this advice Toni.  I did apply much of it except finding friends to help with the move.  Quite frustrating.  I did hire professionals that got the job done pretty well.

     Nothing wrong with hypertext, and since they went to several different sites, they slipped through.
