    Moving is incredibly expensive and unrealistic for most people in the US unfortunately.

    It costs a lot more to move into a cheaper place than it does to absorb the increase.

      I guess because of the choices I’ve made that’s not really been the case personally. Usually I get my deposits back in full or nearly in full. I’ve never hired movers or rented a truck so far. I guess if I needed I would get a trailer and sell it when I’m done with it. As for labor, there’s always cheap labor around. Two dudes who want $50 each is probably enough if I couldn’t physically move my stuff but irl I would probably have my family help.

          I’ve known families who’ve been more mobile than myself, but you’re right, definitely not average. I used to have a lot more stuff but it gets heavy on the mind.
