How To Survive Moving

Moving is so wildly expensive and stressful, I'm honestly shocked we all don't live with our parents.

If you’ve ever packed up all your belongings and moved, you know that it’s never as easy as simply waking up in a new home.

Moving is often an expensive and physically and emotionally taxing ordeal that can drain your energy, your patience and your checking account. After you endure the stress and hassle of finding and moving to a new place, there is still a lot left to do ― like letting those in charge of your mail, money and other urgent information know you’ve moved to avoid delays or fees.

Here’s a checklist of organizations you should inform ASAP of your change of address after a domestic move and some tips on how to make it easier on your wallet.
