  2. Moving into a new home can be exciting and exhausting at the same time.

  3. It definitely involves a lot of work, time, and money.

  4. You can greatly minimize the stress and expenses if you check out these effective tips:

  5. 1. Get your boxes ready

  6. You will need a lot of boxes. Save boxes from appliances and deliveries. You may also buy them from hardware stores or moving companies. Also, get a lot of newspapers and magazines because they can be useful as packing materials.

  7. 2. Pack ahead!

  8. Do not delay if you want to avoid last-minute rushing. Pack several weeks ahead of time and start with stuff you seldom use anyway. Packing will be so much easier on the actual day of your move.

  9. 3. Protect the breakables

  10. You can save on bubblewrap and packing peanuts by using shirts and other clothing to wrap breakable items. For glasses, you may also use clean socks. You will be able to pack your kitchenware and clothes with greater efficiency if you do this!

  11. 4. Label boxes

  12. Label boxes properly so you know what they contain. Also, label boxes on the side not on the top. That way, you’ll still see the labels when they are stacked together. You may even want to indicate what room they’re supposed to go once you arrive at your new home. Unpacking will be faster and less stressful if you are well-organized.

  13. 5. Take photos of electronics

  14. Remembering wire connections can be challenging if you are not the techie type. A good way to deal with that is to take photos so that you can easily connect everything when needed.

  15. 6. Sell or donate your stuff

  16. Do you have some items you no longer need? You can get rid of them by selling or donating. Post pictures and item descriptions on eBay and other online-selling sites. Do this at least a month or two before you move. You can also have a garage sale. This is nice if you still need to raise some money. Another idea is to donate the items to a charitable organization. Give them a call and they’ll gladly pick up your donations.

  17. 7. Ask friends for help

  18. Asking friends for assistance can be a good thing. You’ll definitely need a helping hand especially when it comes to lifting heavy items such as furniture and appliances.

  19. 8. Change your address

  20. Get in touch with the local postal office and work on the requirements of changing your address. This will enable them to forward any mail you receive to your new address. Inform friends, family members, and business contacts about your new address, too.

  21. 9. Hire a truck

  22. Ask around and compare the rates of hiring a moving truck. Schedule in advance to ensure that the vehicle is available on the day you move.

  23. 10. Contact utility providers ahead of time

  24. You need basic utilities in your new home such as electricity, gas, water, internet, and cable TV, among others. You should contact utility providers to arrange for disconnection in your old home and installation for the new.

  25. Moving really doesn’t have to be complicated if you follow these 10 simple tips.
