I am saving up now for a move. The last time I moved I had 4 volunteers and a friend (I had to pay the friend).

Some people say it costs less to box up your own belongings and ship them by UPS or FedEx than it costs to pay movers. I think that I may try that next time, just box up everything except the furniture, and let UPS or FedEx ship it to my new address. I have a good friend who has offered to move me but she and I are too old to do our own loading and unloading. I wish I could afford to live in an RV and never have to pack and unpack again.
