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.
You don't know me, stop talking about my life. You're just a horse.
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.
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.
At some point I noticed I was getting injured every time we moved so we started saving up money for movers.
A small part of me was relieved as well when a family member decided to pay for movers, and after meticulous research into the best reviewed moving company, the shitshow that was 2 amateurs wrecking multiple furniture items despite clear instructions, taking an hour for a 15 minute driving, and slacking off; only putting more work into it and contacting the company to get compensated for it, was so incredibly not worth it. But in theory, and if it works out in practise, sure.
