Quick tips on budget moving.

     Typically most people getting their first apartment do not need professional movers. They are expensive and moving yourself is a great way to save that extra cash. Depending on how far away you are moving from your current resident, you will most likely be able to just use your own car and possibly borrow a friend who owns a truck. If you decided to move a couple hours away or you don't have access to a truck, than your best bet is to rent a moving van. You can usually get them fairly cheap,  I believe Uhaul starts at around 15-20 dollars a day for a truck or small moving van, which is all you will really need if your doing everything yourself. Now the hardest part is once you get everything moved and your unloading into your new place, where are you going to put everything? The easiest way to do this is just have all your boxes labeled. Kitchen, bath, bedroom, living room, etc. That way you can just put those boxes in their designated rooms and then once your done unpacking you can rearrange to your liking. Now the furniture you currently have may not fit just the way you like so eventually you may have to sell stuff and buy different furniture etc. That is what we will discuss in the next one. How to organize and maximize space.
