Tips on Budgeting Moving Expenses
Sandy Keller
You’re planning a move and it’s nerve-racking. You probably won’t feel comfortable until the moving is done and you start to settle in. You have plenty to take care of months in advance and almost none of it is free. This is why budgeting is so important, like with anything else. The first step is determining what you’re comfortable spending. That might take a bit of research to know exactly what you need and how much certain aspects of the move can cost. The more you know about the different services you’ll need, the better off you will be financially and logistically.
How to Get the Best Deal on TV and Internet at Your New Location
Sandy Keller
When the moving company drops off your belongings at your new home, you will want to be connected to the outside world. In fact, you’ll want to start researching TV and Internet providers long before the movers unload your televisions and computers. While many people just use the companies that the previous occupants used, it pays to shop around.
Moving Etiquette

Chances are you have good manners. You don’t burp at the dinner table. You help the elderly across the street. You say “please” and “thank you.”
But just because you have good manners overall doesn't mean you won’t accidentally break some rules of moving etiquette. It’s not like people move too often. And let’s be honest, you have so many things on your mind that pacifying your new neighbors is probably the last thing you’re thinking about.
So while this will likely all seem straightforward and obvious, keep these things closer to the front of your brain while you embark on your move to a new home.
