Less than 10 days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, the state is bracing for another potentially devastating blow from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, this one a potential Category 3 storm.
It might be worth it to sell or donate a lot of stuff and buy it after you move. You can ship books through media mail. If you can get rid of enough and ship other stuff, then you could possibly avoid having to rent a truck.
It’s probably cheaper to donate things like plates and coffee mugs than it is to move them. You can find very nice plates and other items at thrift stores for a few bucks. You can sell your tv instead of risking it breaking. Anything that’s heavy or bulky is likely easy enough to replace secondhand unless it has great sentimental value to you. The most expensive thing to replace would be a mattress. Even if you could downsize to a regular van instead of a full truck you would save a lot of money.
I am already down to the bare bones. I have nothing to sell. And U-Haul doesn’t let you drive a van across state lines. You have to get a truck.
You know, it’s pretty arrogant of you to think you have any advice to give me after I’ve been planning this for a year. this for a year. Especially since I didn’t ask for your advice, and you’ve been 100% wrong about everything due to your ridiculous assumptions about me.
I didn’t ask anyone to be “helpful”, and you’re being pretty insulting by assuming you know me or my situation well enough to give unsolicited advice— especially after I’ve made it clear that I’m not interested.
That’s how I moved back when I was poor, and I moved a lot. I would buy used furniture in whatever new place I was in. Saves a lot of money if you don’t ship your stuff with you. And media mail is fantastic.
Guess you should stop talking about it online then. Doing so implies you might like advice or assistance. I’ve moved across this country back and forth multiple times. I know how to do it.

If I had that kind of money, I wouldn’t have a problem moving

Your advice is unwelcome

Nope.
Ok then
You’re coming across as a dick here. That person was trying to be helpful.
I didn’t ask anyone to be “helpful”, and you’re being pretty insulting by assuming you know me or my situation well enough to give unsolicited advice— especially after I’ve made it clear that I’m not interested.
Yeah, you definitely are acting like a jerk.
Bye bye. Good luck.
Go away and stop bugging me with your unsolicited “advice“

I don’t have any furniture.
See? You don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t need or want any advice about this.

Your misunderstanding, false assumptions, arrogance, and lack of self control are not my responsibility.
Trying to give someone advice is not arrogant. You’re being immature. Good luck, anyway.
If I didn’t want your advice, I certainly don’t want your self important posturing.
Go away. No means no
lol
Sure, buddy. Somebody trying to give you advice is totally comparable to rape.
Grow the fuck up.
