The Unexpected Costs of Moving

Moving can get expensive. Hiring movers and getting boxes are always on the list of things to add to your moving budget.

Sometimes there are unexpected costs that most people would never think about including into their moving budget. Here are some costs to remember about when you are budgeting for your move.

1. Distance

If you are moving long distance, there are many different factors you should consider when moving.

For starters, gas and the maintenance for the vehicle to travel far should be considered before your move. You should also think about how many stops for food and how many gas stops are going to be taken. Those are factors that can affect your moving budget.

2. Supplies

You are going to need supplies to help you move. That may be a given, but exactly what supplies and how much is the question.
Boxes and tape are a requirement. The unexpected cost is that you should buy extra. You do not know what exactly will fit into each box and how much tape is needed. Labels and anything that could help you become more organized are a wise investment.

3. Physical Tools

On top of the supplies likes boxes needed for your move, you are going to need tools to help you move your belongings around.

Ropes and dollies are necessary to move large and heavy items to your new home. You do not want to be stuck having to carry a big piece of furniture on your own without the right equipment.

Also, purchasing cling wrap can help keep your furniture from being damaged.

4. Packing

We all know that boxes and tape are required to help move. Those are supplies that are necessary. However, you might need to take time off work to pack and unpack your belongings.

Packing and unpacking can be time-consuming. Trying to pack and unpack between working can prove to be challenging.

Taking time off will allow you to get everything done at once, but will affect how you budget since you are not making money.
