Moving for Grown-Ups

Moving sounds exciting... until you remember you actually have to move.

Between surprise utility setup fees, security deposits, Wi-Fi appointments that never seem to happen on time, and somehow ending up with a dozen boxes labeled "miscellaneous," moving can quickly become one of life's most stressful experiences. So how do you make it a little easier and a lot less expensive?

This week, Matt and Lea are joined by realtor Dag Larson for the ultimate moving guide. They cover the hidden costs most people forget to budget for, whether hiring movers is really worth it, what should never go on the moving truck, and why your first-night box might be the most important box you pack. Plus, learn how to avoid common moving mistakes, set up utilities without headaches, make your new place feel like home, and discover the simple home and neighborhood safety checks everyone should do during their first week.

Whether you're moving into your first apartment, upgrading to a new home, or relocating across the country, this episode is packed with practical tips to help your next move go more smoothly and maybe even save you a little money (and your sanity) along the way.
