    I paid for movers my last two moves. It was expensive, but if you can afford it, it’s totally worth it in my opinion. Instead of the move taking a whole weekend it was done in half a day both times.

    And it’s true: nobody wants to help with that shit. My friends offered, but the relief on their faces when I told them there was no need, was clearly visible.

      I mean, sure I would be relieved myself as well, I don’t want to do labour if I can avoid it

      But that still doesn’t mean I don’t want to do it for ny friends and only do it out of a sense of obligation or anything. I genuinely want to help, and make life easier for the people I care about, even if it’s a bother from my end

        I straight up don’t want to do it, even for my friends. But since they are my friends I would do it anyway. I’d definitely rather they paid for movers though.

      I think we’ve also crossed that age threshold while in our current house and will hire pros next time, but I will say, our last move we did with friends and it was also done and dusted in half a day because we had everything prepared pretty good and the folks that helped us out didn’t fuck around. Took two trips with the big rental van and about 4h total I think.
