We have had numerous friends move from New Jersey to other parts around the country. Unfortunately, New Jersey is just a very expensive place to live. Most of our friends have opted to use long distance moving companies to move them to a different state, but we have had a few friends, that have decided to move themselves.

After seeing the hassle involved in moving yourself, I think I will opt for a company when I move. Finding the right size boxes, packing everything up and then driving a truck across country are not my ideas of a great time.
We won’t be moving for at least another three years, so hopefully I will have been able to clean out some of the unused junk in our house by that time. Hopefully, that will make the move a little easier!

Moving is really hard – i did it once and I hope I won’t need to do it again! It’s amazing how many things you can accumulate over the years and how you get attached to them!
My advice is to use: labels ! it will be easier after!

I’ve moved 6 times in last 6 years and never needed more than a car or two. But it’s only because I live(d) alone and I only moved around the town. If I moved across the US I’d definitely choose moving companies…
