Moving…

So my friend and I are planning to get an apartment together in the next couple months. We’re aiming to move in May or June. We had dinner last night and discussed budget and what features and area we’re looking for and what not. We found a couple places that are ideal and just need to wait for availability now.

So moving is about my least favorite thing in the world to do. I’ve moved 4 times in the past 5 years (and am back at my parents house now which makes it all seem fruitless). So my goal is to not buy anything I don’t really need for immediate use between now and my move so that I don’t have to pack it and lug it around. I also need to take my growing pile of things I haven’t ever used to Goodwill. And I’ve got a list of things I need to buy once I move (some furniture, kitchen stuff, etc), but even if I find those and like them before I move I don’t want to be buying them until after the move so I’ll just make note of them.

And hopefully not buying stuff will give me an opportunity to beef up my emergency savings which will be much more critical to have once I’m out of my parents house.
