When to Take Everything during a Move

I don’t recommend it all the time, however there are certain situations where you will benefit from taking everything you own when you move. If your company is footing the bill for your corporate relocation, and your budget and the success of your company are not tied to the amount spent on your relocation, then you should definitely consider taking everything you own when you move as opposed to selling it or donate in it or just giving away.

When you get rid of your stuff during a move and arrive at the new destination and move in, you will be tempted to buy more stuff. That’s going to cost you a lot of money as you work to outfit a new household. That means that you be spending a lot of money that you would’ve not spent otherwise and your move will suddenly become that much more expensive.

If your stuff was so bad already you would’ve gotten rid of its and bought something new. There’s no reason to get something new when you move just because you’re moving, unless you have to pay for the shipping or freight of your stuff and that cost is more than what it would cost to buy something new.

Gas prices are higher and freight is higher as well, but it is still often times cheaper to keep what you have than it is to buy something new. So don’t feel afraid to call someone to shlepp your stuff and tell them to ‘Move It All’, whether you are moving east, south, west or even directing your movers New York to, you will probably save money by keeping your stuff.
