Executive Summary
Let’s face it: Moving isn’t fun. There is little to enjoy about hauling mattresses and couches in and out of moving trucks. However, most of us will relocate at some point in our lives. In fact, the average American moves once every five years. Depending on how far you move, there may be a lot of changes to digest.
For some, moving can be as simple as getting a new apartment a few blocks down the street; for others it is a life-altering event that takes them to a new city or state. Whether the move is for family, a job, or school, we decide what we’ll take with us and what we’ll leave behind.
