4 Tips For The Best Move Ever

June 28, 2018 / by Violet & Anna / Leave a Comment

After death and divorce, they say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. Moving during the summer heat only makes your task more difficult, as you struggle to lift heavy things under the hot sun. If your nerves are starting to get the best of you, take a deep breath. You can prepare for your best move yet by using these tips to you reduce your stress and beat the summer heat.

  1. Check in with your budget

When you’re moving to a new apartment or house, you’re probably focused on providing first and last month’s rent or making your first mortgage payment. It’s easy to forget that the physical act of moving costs money when you’re concentrated on making these larger payments. Unfortunately, moving can be expensive. There are expected costs — like hiring movers, renting a truck, or supplying beer and pizza for the friends who help. Then there are unexpected costs — like breaking furniture,losing your damage deposit, or getting a parking fine.

You need to make sure your budget’s prepared for all of them. The first thing you should do is go over your finances and see how well your savings can cover these expenses, expected and unexpected. If your savings account is anemic, you can always use a money saving guide to help you find more savings in your monthly budget. These tips will show you how you can eliminate bad spending habits, so you’ll be able to funnel more of your paycheck towards your moving fund.

  1. Stay hydrated

You can expect temperatures that hit the triple digits in the summer. This heat can be difficult to handle during the best conditions like when you’re relaxing with a chilled drink in your hand. It can be intolerable and downright dangerous when you’re doing something as strenuous as moving furniture.

You’ll be sweating more during your moving calisthenics, so it’s important to keep hydrated throughout the day. Make a point of taking regular breaks in the shade to sip on water or a sports drink. This will keep you cool and properly hydrated while reducing the risk of getting heat stroke.

3.Be careful with your choice of mover

Professional movers are a great addition to any move, but they add a different kind of stress to the experience. You need to be able to trust these movers to treat your belongings as if they were their own. You also need to trust they’ll complete the job to the specifications they quoted. If a job takes longer than they said it would, you could be facing a bill twice or triple the amount they estimated at the start.

You can prevent this from happening by interviewing your choice of movers with care. Make sure you ask a lot of questions about their services, insurance, and team of movers. You should also ask them if they’ll give you a binding quote regarding their fees. Though you can always rely on a company like MoneyKey to help you cover unexpected bills with a simple payday advance online, it’s better to avoid these accidental costs altogether.

  1. Wear sunscreen

While dashing in and out of your home, you may not think you’re in the sun enough to get a sunburn, but the summer sun is powerful — especially in the afternoon. For light skin individuals, a sunburn can happen in less than 15 minutes. Though it takes longer for dark skin to burn, it’s a myth that African Americans don’t need to wear sunscreen. Be sensible during your move and apply sunscreen regularly and keep to the shade when possible. Decrease your exposure by wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a loose, open-weave long sleeved shirt.

Like anything that involves change, moving can be incredibly stressful. There are a lot of small tasks to coordinate before the big day, and you have to move all your belongings to a new space—hopefully all in one piece. Though it’s natural to feel some nerves before the big day, you can keep your move hassle free when you follow simple yet sensible tips.
