• Do you want your family and friends to assist you with relocating boxes and furniture?
• Is moving you, your friends, or your family physically possible?
• What contingencies do you have in place in case of inclement weather or an accident?

Keep in mind that you can always employ local movers to assist you at the beginning and/or end of your journey.

Keep your receipts for your tax preparer, whether you relocate yourself or hire a professional moving company. If you're relocating for employment, find out if your employer will pay for your relocation.
