Moving tips
So you're moving, and on your verrrrrry long moving-related "to-do" list is that old favorite: packing. Did you just let out a big sigh at the thought? Us, too. Face it, it's no fun. Actually putting stuff in boxes isn't the hard part for many people; It's the dreaded sorting and decluttering and getting rid of stuff that sends many into a panic. Take a deep breath and we'll get through these tips together.
First, use this advice as an overall rule of thumb: "For one, if it's damaged, it should be thrown away, no exceptions. Also, if it's spent more than six months unused, you likely won't miss it if you get rid of it. For clothes, if you haven't worn a garment in over a year, it should be donated– that way you don't get rid of seasonal clothes you may need in a few months."
Now, let's break down the specifics.
Paperwork
If you've got boxes and boxes of old receipts and taxes and printed emails dating back to the turn of the century, it's time to dive in. "Keep everything for seven years" is ingrained in many of our brains, but, according to financial expert Suze Orman, that's not necessary. She says the only thing that needs to be kept for seven years are records of satisfied loans. Income tax returns only need to be kept for three years (can we get a Hallelujah?). But, there are some reasons to keep them longer, depending on your withholdings. You can see all her recommendations here.
Mementos and heirlooms
It can get sticky when it comes to things you've been willed or handed down. If you feel like you need to hold on to that old antique dresser that's been in your family for two generations - and that's sitting in the garage because it's not your style - or your grandmother's china that you'll never use, we get it. If you know you'll never use the item as is (China? Not even for Thanksgiving?), can't find a way to repurpose the item (Can that old sideboard be painted?), and there isn't another family member who will take it, maybe it's time to think about selling it. You might be surprised at how valuable old antiques and collectibles can be. And, if you're feeling bad about selling your heirlooms, you can always donate the money to a worthy cause; that will help you assuage your guilt.
Clothes
Getting rid of clothes can be overwhelming. No one is saying you have to pare down to a week's worth of outfits and shoes, but if you're moving to a smaller space or just want to be more organized when you move, the closet is a great place to start.
Most experts recommend getting rid of anything you haven't worn in a year, but if the thought of purging that many items is giving you anxiety, start by asking yourself a few questions, said The Spruce:
- Do I love it?
- Do I wear it?
- Does it project the image I want to project?
- Does it itch or scratch?
- Does it pinch my toes? Are the heels too high to walk in?
- Is it moldy? Smelly? Stained?
- Does it fit?"
When you get to No. 7, take a deep breath. Many people have clothes in a couple of sizes to accommodate things like post-pizza-pigout days, but if you're holding on to 15 pairs of pants that haven't fit you since 2002, maybe it's time to ditch them.
Broken, scratched or tired furniture
Old, boring, broken, or otherwise undesirable pieces you've been living with in your current home may not be so tolerable once you move. Your shiny new place deserves some shiny new stuff, right? If you're not in a position to shell out a bunch of money after buying your new home, wait a bit. You'll undoubtedly be receiving credit card offers after you close escrow; sift through them and set aside those offering 0% interest from furniture stores like Rooms to Go.
These can make big purchases easier - if you are good at managing your credit. Miss a payment or fail to pay off your balance within the allotted time and you'll have interest accrued going back to the date of purchase plus a whopping interest rate, which can put payments out of reach. You may also receive 0% interest offers from places like Lowes and Home Depot, which can be a great way to update appliances, flooring, or counter-tops, and Best Buy for your electronic needs.
