I’m in the moving industry. People over 35 are moving themselves. This is post is full of it. Household moving is dead. At least in my region.
Who the hell can afford it? Boomers, mostly, that aren't selling their homes anyways
I paid for movers when I moved into my house, but I'm a mid thirties dude with health problems and two partners who are worse off than I am physically. With what I paid to be able to get a house (and admittedly I'm privileged enough to be able to save and purchase it), it was a rounding error to hire movers. Not even $1000 for 2 dudes to move all of my shit from 2 apartments to a house and moved a bunch of heavy furniture up or down flights of stairs.
Paying even $1000 in exchange for not being in agony for months after we moved was a price well paid.
I don’t know. I’m in the commercial furniture side of it.
Boomers with too much money really are to blame for everything 😂
I'm assuning very different region than in NYC. I see moving trucks all over every month. Companies like Man With a Van or Piece of Cake seem to be expanding more and more.
It's more than worth it.
