Moving

Things to think about

• Do you really need the stuff you are packing now? Is it worth saving it if you haven't used it in the last year? You can always buy things again. Give things away or to thrift stores that are nice to people.
• Don't get rid of it just because you "should".
• Should you just hire movers?
