next time

you know, professional mover fees may sound like a lot of money at first, but compared to the loss of income incurred from not being able to work for an entire week while you box up and then transport an entire five years of your life? It may actually be a pretty good deal.

Next time.

(this is also to say nothing about all the actual money-costs you pay anyway, like the moving van parking permit I an now waiting in line to pay for a second time. Because I packed the first permit I bought. Because I am not a professional mover.)

professional movers are not a luxery

Like professional plumbers, electricians and other contractors, movers like Gentle Giant save you physical pain, time and irritation. As a kid (and adult), I had to help move my parents three or four times. I do not recommend this unless you've got crushing debt. When I moved from my apartment into the home of my future wife, it cost me $900 including getting the packing materials delivered to my apartment.
