Costs of Moving

Are you planning to move?

Many Americans are trading city life for suburbs, self-reliance, and off-grid living. They’re seeking peace and moving to find it. Moving costs lots of money. Packing supplies, a moving truck, moving insurance, travel costs, and temporary housing all add up.

Weigh the costs of buying versus renting. Even though mortgage rates are very low, don’t stretch to buy. Have an emergency fund that covers 3-6 months of your expenses. This will prepare you for unexpected repairs and maintenance and be a buffer during economic instability. So seek wise counsel, pray for direction and then step out in faith.
