Relocation And Expenses Each year thousands of people relocate in order to find better jobs, to accept a promotion, or find a better place to raise their families. While most people are happy to move from one town to another, they don't fully realize the cost involved until they start receiving bills and have to spend money upfront in order to make the move a reality.
This special report will give you tips and advice on relocation and how to save money in the process.
The Expense Of Relocation Relocation can be expensive. Even if you are just moving a few hours away, moving costs add up quickly. The majority of these costs come from: Traveling for interviews Renting a moving van or truck Hiring movers Buying materials Gas and food Hotel stay if the relocation takes more than one day Lost wages associated with the time it takes to relocate
Even if you receive a relocation package, many of these costs need to be paid upfront, which is then reimbursed after the move. For those who are relocating, spending this type of money leaves them with very little after the move.

Finding a place to live may also require money upfront. You may have to put a deposit down on an apartment, or pay thousands in closing costs if purchasing a home. While some relocation packages include temporary housing, you only have a certain amount of time to find a permanent home. If staying in a furnished apartment, you may need to place your belongings in storage, which is another added cost.
Before you decide to relocate, decide how much it will cost, find out what you have in savings, if a relocation package is offered, and if the increase in salary is enough to offset increased cost of living and the upfront costs of moving from one place to another.
If you have relocated before, then you already understand the costs involved. If you are planning on another relocation, use the tips below to save money and feel more secure this time around.
Ways To Save But there are ways to reduce the costs of relocation so you can feel secure and safe before, during, and after the move. While you may not be able to take advantage of all of these suggestions, even if you use one or two, you will save money. Because there are unexpected costs involved that you cannot plan, having a small financial safety net can help offset any of these costs.
Ways to save money during relocation include: Move yourself Sell unwanted items Find boxes instead of buying them Ask friends and family for help Ask for a salary advance

Create a budget Take less time to move Find a new job online
Depending on the amount of time you have, you should be able to save some money for relocation. Begin saving as soon as you decide you want to relocate. If you need to travel to interviews, try to use flier miles you have saved, or try to arrange conference calls to save money. Move Yourself
Since one of the largest expenses you will have to pay is moving your belongings, doing as much as you can yourself can save a lot of money. If you pack, load, and unload the van or truck, all you will have to spend money on is the rental, gas, and food along the way.
Even if you cannot drive a moving truck and have to hire a moving company, you can still load and unload the truck yourself. While this will be hard physical labor, you should consider it an investment. With the money you save in moving expenses, you will be able to rent a nice apartment or home, be able to store items if staying in temporary housing, and have enough for emergencies when they occur. Sell Unwanted Items
Hosting a yard sale is a way for you to get rid of items you no longer want and is a way to make extra money. Before or while you are packing, you may discover many items you don't want to take with you. Many times, these items have been placed in basements, attics, or in the backs of closets. If you don't use these items often, then why take the time to move them into a truck and into your new home?
Everyone loves a yard sale. Buy a package of labels and price your items low so they sell quickly. You can bargain with buyers if you like or wait until someone is willing to pay the price

on the label. Yard sales can earn several hundred dollars depending on the types of items you are selling and the quality.
Items you don't sell can be given away to charity. If you have lots of stuff you want to get rid of, then host two or three yard sales. Other ways to sell used items include: Online auctions Online or newspaper ads Placing notices in your apartment building Asking friends and family if they want any of the items you have Church bulletins Community boards at grocery stores
As you can see, there are many ways to sell unwanted items before your move. Not only will they become recycled items, the money you earn can help pay the moving costs. Find Boxes Instead of Buying Them
One of the costliest mistakes people can make when relocating is buying boxes from moving companies and package stores. Many are overpriced and are only available in limited sizes. If you want to save money on your new move, try finding boxes instead by visiting: Grocery stores Home improvement stores Warehouses Cardboard recepticals behind stores
© Wings Of Success
Page 43 of 69

Fast food restaurants Your current workplace Ask friends and family if they know of places to find boxes
When using boxes that you find, you should make sure they are in good condition. This means they are dry, easy to assemble, are free from tears and dents, are sturdy, and are able to be reused.
If you are using a moving company to pack your belongings, you need to be careful as many insist on using only their boxes to avoid paying insurance claims if items are damaged during the move. This can add a lot to the overall cost of the move. Find companies that do not have this type of policy when trying to save money.
Unfortunately, you will have to purchase new supplies such as tape, markers, and a box cutter, but these items are not too expensive. Ask Friends and Family for Help
Another way to save money on your move is to ask friends and family for help with the packing, loading, and unloading of the moving truck. Most people are willing to help others for a few hours. This will save you the cost of hiring movers.
In return, you can buy them lunch or dinner depending on when the job is done. This is much less expensive than hiring a moving company. Friends and family can help in other ways as well including: Babysitting children and pets while you pack Watch your home when you are visiting the new location Be supportive by listening, offering suggestions and advice

Offer temporary shelter on the evening before your move after you have packed everything
Don't be afraid to ask others for help when moving. Chances are they were in the same position once and understand what you are going through. Ask for a Salary Advance
If, after going over your budget and current savings, you cannot afford to relocate, ask for an advance upfront from your employer. Many times, companies will give you a certain amount upfront instead of a reimbursement. This can help pay for moving, housing, and other expenses. Create a Budget
Creating a budget can keep you from overspending during relocation. Even though you may be tempted to spend money on movers, for example, if you do not budget for it, then you won't be able to afford it.
In your budget, you should include the following to help make the move as easy financially as possible: Total amount you have for the move Amount of relocation package Estimates from moving companies for trucks, movers, etc. Gas and food budget for a week
Your budget should only include items you need for the move. If you need to put a down payment on a home or deposit on an apartment, these costs should be included in a housing budget or as a separate expense. Most companies will reimburse you for pet deposits and apartment rental deposits, but usually do not help pay for a home.

Page 45 of 69
Relocation Made Easy!
Even if your budget changes, you should try to stick within its limits so you don't run out of money before the move. Remember that you will need food and other supplies after the move as well, so budgeting for this expense is important. Take Less Time to Move
Most companies do not pay for the time you take to move, so unless you have sick time or leave time, you may not be paid for the time it takes to move. This is also true when starting a new job. If you can, try to take a day or two to move instead of three or four days. You can begin the new job and not have to worry about losing money by not working.
This will only work if your relocation is a long one. For international relocation, you may not have this option. Include in your budget the time you won't be working so you have enough money to get by until you start working again. Keep in mind that depending on the day you start, you may not receive a paycheck for three weeks or more. Include cost of living into your budget to cover the time lapse. Find a New Job Online
When looking for a new job, start by looking online instead of traveling to another city to apply for a position. This will save you a lot of money. Many companies encourage people to apply online so they can conduct a thorough screening process.
If possible, ask for the initial interview to be over the phone or via web conference. This will also help cut down on travel costs. Why travel to a job you may or may not be interested in?
If you are asked back for a second interview, then you should spend the money on travel.

Saving Money On Packing Materials While you may have to spend money on packing tape and a box cutter, there are ways to save when it comes to packing materials. Additional materials you may need include: Wrapping materials Markers Twine Special boxes for mirrors, large pictures, and other oddly shaped items
Depending on how much stuff you have to pack and the condition of your stuff, you can save money in a variety of ways. Wrapping Materials
If you read the newspaper, save them for a week or so. You can use newspaper to wrap just about anything from dishware to figurines. Other materials that can used include the following: Old t-shirts or towels can be used to layer items on top of one another Paper towels if you run out of newspaper Plastic containers for non-breakable items Bubble wrap if you buy it by the roll
These materials are not expensive and many times can be found around the home. While precious pieces, family heirlooms, and larger items may need to be wrapped in layers, you can wrap other pieces using one or two pieces of newspaper.

While many moving companies and shipping warehouses and stores carry additional materials including dish and glass separators, thick sheets of paper, and plastic wrap, you don't need them unless you are moving overseas or you have many antiques that need to be moved. For everyday items, newspaper should be fine. Markers
Any type of marker will do when moving. While some moving companies suggest color coding boxes for each room in your home, a simple black marker is fine for marking boxes. Markers do not have to be water-proof, just visible when you need to read the top of the box.
When marking boxes, you should write on the top and side of the box so it is visible from different angles. If you want to color code boxes, buy a set of colored markers. These are inexpensive and can be found in many stores. Twine
Twine is used when securing furniture, lamps, and boxes inside the truck. You can find twine in your local hardware store for very little money. You can also use twine if moving items in your car as well. Save some money and buy it in bulk from somewhere other than a moving company. Special Boxes
If you have valuable paintings, mirrors, equipment, and other items that can become damaged during a move, you should invest in special boxes to hold these items. Padded boxes that are sturdy and able to resist the weight that is inside are needed to keep items from moving around in the truck, damaging other furniture, and to keep them from becoming scratched or damaged inside the box.
Padded boxes can be purchased from moving companies or from packing and shipping supply stores. Save money by knowing how many you will need so you don't buy too many.

Saving Money On Moving Insurance Moving insurance protects the items inside the truck from damage. Some insurance also protects items that are broken during the loading and unloading stages. Before buying moving insurance, you should find out what the insurance will include, what it will not include, and how to file a claim.
If you do not have anything valuable, you may not need to purchase moving insurance. Before you make any moving arrangements, go through your belongings to see what you have. Valuable items such as jewelry, electronics, antiques, and anything else of importance should be recorded. It is best to take all jewelry and other items with you instead of loading them onto the truck just to be safe.
Once you have an estimate of the value of your items, you can purchase the plan that suits your needs. Don't over insure your stuff because chances are nothing will be damaged. Buy enough to cover the items you want to be covered. You can choose to leave items out if you choose.
If you plan on driving the truck yourself, and are going to load and unload it, then you may not be eligible for moving insurance. Check with the moving company to find out your options.
Finding A New Home On A Budget Before relocating, you may want to visit the new town or city to find out more about it. Traveling can be expensive, especially if air travel is involved. Taking one or more trips can add up to a lot in travel expenses, so planning your trips carefully and accomplishing multiple tasks is important.
If you have been called back for a second interview, spend some time before or after the interview driving around a few neighborhoods to get an idea of where you would like to live. Take pictures so you can return home continue your research online. Once you have the job, plan a second trip to finalize your living arrangements.

Ways To Save During The Move
Even though people create a budget and stick to it, when moving day arrives, the budget is all by forgotten about. Money spent on food, toys for children, extra clothing, and other items can add up quickly. Additional costs you may not have thought about for the move include: Tolls if traveling on major highways Gas prices may be higher than what you budgeted You may need to eat more food along the way You may need to stay in a hotel Movers taking longer than the originally estimated

After Relocating After you arrive at your new home, you may not have much money left. This is a common problem for those who are relocating. While you will be reimbursed by your employer, you may not see a check for a few weeks.
Before you go out and spend money on new furniture and decorations for you home, consider waiting until you get your finances in order. Going into debt by using credit cards is not the best way to begin this new phase in your life. By waiting, you can rebuild your savings and regain your financial stability. Other ways to save include: Renting a home before buying Cooking meals instead of eating out as much Unpacking yourself instead of hiring movers Bringing your lunch to work instead of buying one each day Taking public transportation to work if possible Attending free events Taking walks in the evening to get to know the neighborhood Paying off existing debt before taking on new debt
For many people, relocating is a chance to start over in terms of their finances, relationships, and careers.
Saving money during relocation is not difficult once you have a plan in place. Relocation is not only about the present, it is also about the future. You are relocating because of a better job

Purchasing Moving Supplies At Wholesale Rates Only if you have an established business it will be relatively easy for you to find companies that are willing to sell supplies to an individual at wholesale prices. Most companies do not allow customers to buy items at wholesale prices, if they do not have the tax identification number used for business purpose. Listed below are things you must look for when you decide to purchase from an online firm that claims to sell moving supplies at wholesale rates, directly to the customer.
After you locate a company that claims to sell supplies at wholesale pricing, the foremost thing to be done is to go through the company's frequently asked questions (FAQs) and order info pages. Here you will know whether they insist on business identification number for them to sell wholesale merchandise to you. Certain companies will accept the social security number instead of tax identification number. However, always check before hand. Be cautious when you give your social security number to employees and companies that you do not know.
A brief note regarding Tax Identification Numbers
When you plan to sell moving supplies by yourself, you can get a tax identification number for less than 10 dollars. Go through the state and town business laws along with the business codes in order to learn how you can obtain this.
Once you discover that individuals can buy wholesale moving supplies through a company, without using the tax identification number, you have to research about the types of items offered under the company's wholesale section. Several sell latest supplies and new boxes. Although most items are of appropriate quality, some companies put economy materials in the wholesale category. There are few places which put used and slightly damaged boxes along with boxes that had been returned as unused components of a kit, in the wholesale category.
The third thing that you must look out for is whether the company requires any minimum purchase before allotting wholesale prices. Some companies insist that the customer purchase a minimum of 100 to 200 dollars of merchandise before they consider lowering the retail price anything close to the wholesale rates.

Moving Companies - Picking The Right One Choosing the right moving company is a real challenge owing to the large number of movers in the business. Where should one start? Let us prioritize. First, take all the time you need to select the right company. If you don't rush the process, you will end up having more time to select the best mover from the list of companies you have located in the phone book.
Talk to friends about their personal experiences with movers. For instance, check if the company was professional, careful with luggage, and whether they have adequate number of people to finish the job on time. Your friends will give you the right idea about moving companies by sharing their experiences.
Ensure that you have a clear idea of distance, timing and size of your move, before you call the moving company. For example, if you have massive items like a weight bench, a piano or other such items, it is obvious that they will be more expensive to move.
Give the moving company necessary details like, when you are planning to move, how far away, which state you are currently residing in and where you are moving to. This is essential because some companies serve only certain states.
Always tell the company which time of the year you are planning to move because during certain peak seasons, the moving companies are very busy and their moving charges may be higher than the normal cost.
Another thing that you must check on is hidden costs. Most moving companies may not mention this or you may not enquire about it, but there are always a certain amount of hidden costs for 'extras'. These extras may refer to moving heavy furniture, a long patch between the truck and the house, or disassembly and reassembly charges. These minor things will affect your moving cost. Hence, it is better to talk to the moving company about these hidden costs, so that you have a clear idea of the budget.
Request the moving company to give you a quote about the services contract, and always remember to read everything including the fine print, before you sign any document. The

contract should contain all details including delivery time, address, contact numbers, items that have to be moved, charges and cost, insurance coverage and the total moving expense.
Spend time on the phone or on the internet asking for quotes, and make sure you get a minimum of two or three quotes before you make your decision. Another useful tip: A free estimate at the delivery site is highly recommended before you sign the dotted line.

Relocation Service Industry - Choosing The Right One For The Job The most difficult part of relocation is the actual moving process. Plenty of things need to be arranged, including packing your personal things, buying a new house and settling into your new, unfamiliar neighborhood. It may become a tough time-consuming job or sometimes a convenient, time-saving one. With the help of the organization called relocation service industry, chances are higher that it will be the latter.
This relocation service industry came into existence when more number of companies started relocating their employees to other divisions, cities and even countries. Originally, the firms would reimburse the workers for whatever amount they spent on relocation and moving assistance. But, this cost turned out to be expensive and things were not getting organized in the suggested manner. Then, service providers began hiring contractors who would work in the same firm - relocation service providers. All these companies situated in various areas contribute to the entire relocation service industry.
If an employee needs to relocate to a different city or nation, the employee takes complete responsibility of moving the employee along with his family. This can be accomplished using the relocation service industry. Use the yellow page index or the internet in order to locate a provider who will cover the place you are moving to. However, most services do similar jobs and you may need to do some study on the difference in services when deciding which company must be hired. This industry has a huge network, which offers relocation services covering many companies in separate places.
One of the vital things that will keep you preoccupied during relocation is leasing or selling you old house and finding another one in the new area you are moving to. But, the relocation service provider will handle that. They have contacts with several real estate companies, and in certain cases, they have one of their own. They put you home for sale. Certain relocation companies will purchase your home at an appraisal value, so that you will have enough funds to buy a new house in your relocated area. The company will sell the house later. The next step is to find a new home for you and your family in the area you have relocated to. In addition, they will manage all dealings connected to the purchase to avoid any traveling that the employee or his

family would have to handle. They put in their best efforts to find you a home that is near all businesses and facilities that are frequently used, like, doctors, schools, churches and shopping malls.
Work like getting utilities repaired, household articles being moved and unpacked, leases and rental of cars etc, are effectively dealt with if you hire a reliable relocation service provider of the renowned relocation service industry.

The Stress Of Relocation At some time in your life, you may have to make a big, important decision connected to you and your family. This choice may be related to spiritual or financial matters. But for some, this choice may be about relocating. Sometimes, companies and employers may send their workers to another state so that they can provide their services there instead of their current location. In certain cases, people relocate just for a change in surroundings. They tend to get tired of the place they happen to be born and brought up in, and want to try living in new areas. Though it is your own decision, relocating to another city or country can be extremely stressful. If you happen to be planning you own relocation, or simply considering the options, there are certain things that you must know.
Even if you plan to move just a couple of towns away from your current city, plenty of planning has to go into the move. For instance, if you plan to move to another county, it is important to study the regulations and laws that govern that county. Certain towns have rules that are not imposed in others. Some towns allow cars to be parked on the lawn, whereas, certain other towns may fine you heavily. So in order to ensure that you do not break any rules, regulations or laws, it is recommended that you contact the county or town before you relocate. Enquiring about this beforehand will save you from all future trouble.
One more thing that you must deal with before you relocate, is to do some research on the cultural aspects of the town or county you are moving to. If the town is situated near a river or a lake, it is pretty obvious that plenty of water activities will take place during summer, fall and spring. It is better to find out about such things before you relocate so that you will have enough knowledge about your new home. Apart from making you move relatively easy, it will teach you to respect those who live there. Once your new neighbors know the effort you have put in to find out more about the area, they will be very pleased to know you. This will be of great help in finding you friends once you've moved there.
Relocating to some new state or city can be very stressful. But if you plan things beforehand, your move will definitely be successful and you will have a clear idea of what you are bringing your family into.

Finding Moving Help - How To Go About It If you smartly plan your move before hand, you need not deal with the moving process all by yourself.

These movers will pack and unpack your luggage, drive your things to the destination and on the whole, your moving becomes extremely simple.
If this is the service you expect, you must be ready to shell out some serious cash for such impeccable service. The question is whether it is worth spending this money.
