Sneaky Ways to Save Money When You Move
We all know that moving can be a chore. From the preparation to the actual move itself, there is a lot of stress that can be involved in a move. One way to reduce your stress is by saving money in the process. No matter how much money you make, saving money is always a win and can be easy to do.
Money Saving Tip # 1: Prepare for Your Move
Preparing for your move can save you time and money. This is an often overlooked area when it comes to money savings during your move. Set up a timeline, inventory your belongings, and set up time away from work in order to move. Preparation can save you time and money because unexpected occurrences will be at a minimum. Last minute moves can cost more as moving companies may be booked well in advance. Also, taking time away from work can be costly in the form of vacation time.
Money Saving Tip #2: Turn Off Your Utilities
Check the dates that your utilities are due and contact your utility company to turn off your utilities at a specified date. Some companies will prorate the balance based on your move out date. This can save you from racking up unnecessary expenses on utilities that you are not using, especially if you will be setting up utilities at your new residence.
Money Saving Tip #3: Forward Your Mail
Forward your mail to your new address ahead of time. You can forward your mail online through the post office website or by completing the form at your local post office. Forwarding your mail will ensure that all of your bills will be delivered to your new address. This can save you money in late payments if your bills are not received. Not all bills may be set up on online banking. Take an inventory of your bills and double check that those that are not automatically paid will be paid on time.
Money Saving Tip #4: Hire a Moving Company
This may not seem like a straightforward solution to saving money on your move, but it is for two reasons. First off, time is money. Your time is valuable and the time you spend may cost you money in the form of missing work and/or having to take vacation days. Second, the potential cost of damaged items that you can incur if you try to move yourself can more than make up for the cost of hiring a moving company. Hiring a moving company is a safe bet and you will be happy you did.
Money Saving Tip #5: Find Out if Your Move is Tax Deductible
If you are moving for work, even if your new job isn’t paying for moving expenses, it is possible that the move may be tax deductible. Of course you will want to check with a tax professional to make sure, but in the meantime save your receipts because they may come in handy at tax time. The receipts to save will include the invoice from the movers, mileage on your own vehicle, fuel, and storage costs.
