    Default Planning for moving

    We have a few ideas of what stuff we'll have to pay for on/around moving day pertaining to the move itself. (No, our house hasn't sold yet, but we're just trying to plan ahead.)

    SAM storage unit - move from one house to the next $75
    U-Haul - high estimate $125
    "renting" a college dude to help with the 3-4 heavy things that pg me can't help with - $10

    Anything we're missing?

    Baby Step 6: Pay off mtg
    Baby Step 7: Build Wealth and Give!

    pizza and beer for friends who help
    double the uhaul for two - three days
    babysitter
    cleaning supplies
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    Garbage bags. We found it helpful to pack soft items such as sheets, blankets & clothing in garbage bags. Takes up less space & helps fill in the gaps in the truck.

    Thanks, everyone! I feel much more prepared. I actually find free boxes from Craigslist (and have a huge pile still in the garage ready to be used), and I already got all the packing tape and Sharpies I should need (I got a lot . Never even thought of food. Duh...
