There are things people don't know about moving, one of which is that moving is ranked one of the most stressful events in life. However, if you take the right steps in planning and preparation your move can be made much easier.
- Make sure that you keep a file with all of the details involved in the move and collect all of the receipts that are moving related because depending on your reason for moving you might be entitled to a tax deduction.
- Create a floor plan of your new home so that you can begin to think about where you will want to place furniture. This will ease the stress of trying to figure out where to place it when it arrives. You can mark and label your furniture so that you'll know exactly where to place it on the big day.
- When packing up your belongings, remember to keep your boxes light enough to be handled. Pack similar items in boxes, label the contents of each box and label where they go when appropriate. This will help the items get to the right room and make unpacking easier.
- Notify the post office, credit card companies, friends and family of your change of address. Contact your doctor, dentist, and veterinarian to receive copies of medical records. Contact your children's school and arrange for records to be foreworded to your new school district. Make arrangements for a new bank safety deposit box if you're moving to a new town. Doing this in advance will reduce exposure to theft or loss of your valuables.
