- You should know how you are moving and have all the arrangements finalized (truck, movers, etc.).
- Start packing anything that is non-essential (anything that you use very rarely).
- Keep boxes well labeled by Room. It may help to mark the room in the old home as well as the room to take it to in the new
- home.
- Separate out any valuables that you will need to move yourself (keep them together).
- Set a box aside that will be filled with items you will need the day you move (tools, small parts from furniture, etc.).
- Create an inventory list of all the items and include serial numbers where available for items you need to insure.
- Fill out a change of address form with the U.S. Postal Service (don’t wait until the last minute or mail you need won’t be at your
- new home).
- Make sure that friends, families, neighbors, and employers all have your new address.
- Notify your insurance and credit card companies of your change of address.
- Cancel automated payments associated with the old home and all of them if you are switching banks.
- Make sure that you get all vehicles into the shop for a tune-up so that they are ready for the move.
In your 20s, moving pretty much always looks the same. You gather up a few friends, buy some beer and pizza, and rent a truck. At the end of a grueling day, your furniture might be a little banged up, but in your 20s, that’s okay.
