Whether you are just forced to leave or you are excited about your new home and just can't wait to transfer there, there are few things that you should not forget doing before you move out. Having done these five things just before you move will help you make a graceful exit.
Keep track on your finances
Moving out can be one of your busiest transitions in life that your financial responsibilities are forgotten because you lost focus. Vice president of Phoenix operations of Freedom Financial Network, Kevin Gallegos suggests to set up financial systems before you move. Set up an autopay for your monthly bills such as rent, phone, mortgage and the likes to ensure on-time payment when hectic schedules like moving out happens.
You can even decide who from your household should be responsible to pay which bills. This systematic way can prevent you from paying unnecessary charges brought about by late payment.
Register your new home address in all your transactions
You don't want to get lost as well as your mails. Changing your address two weeks before you move out is a wiser move. If you want your mail to arrive at your new home at your expected time, you have to do this as what Realtor also suggests.
Imagine your new home
Good Housekeeping suggests that you visualize what your life will be like in your new home and make sure you are ready to embrace it. You have to be physically, emotionally and psychologically ready to accept the change that is about to take place in your life.
Bid your last goodbye and let go
There's no better way to say goodbye but to just say it and leave. Do not entertain the pain that might arise in thinking of letting go of your house that molded you for a long time. You might feel you have lost your identity upon leaving the house but this should not be taken as a great deal. Nothing lasts forever, and so as your stay in your house. Ashley Niedringhaus, author of Moving House Checklist suggests you make saying goodbye easier and acceptance will follow.
