A lot of people have lost their homes over the past two years. Maybe you know someone who has – and perhaps you yourself have. While that is not even close to a fun reason for a person to move, it becomes a huge margin worse (nearly an unbearable task) when it is coupled with arthritis pain. When you can barely wrap small objects without wincing in hand pain and trying to pick up a box feels like a feat that only Hercules could accomplish, you might need to explore a different plan than trying to “do it yourself.” They have people for this sort of thing.
For instance, let us say you were previously living in Expensiveland...er...San Francisco. But the mortgage came due, and you simply could not front the cash. So you decided that Sacramento might be a bit more in your price range. So you can call up a company like Sacramento Property Management. Obviously, they will assist you in finding an apartment that you can afford. But one thing that a lot of people do not realize about such companies is that they nearly always have contacts in other, related industries. For instance, most property management companies are cool with at least one moving company. And a lot of these moving companies do not just “muscle boxes around.” A great many moving companies are all inclusive.
You can call up some moving companies, and they will send a small group to package up and organize everything you own. Then, they will send people to move the boxes in their truck. When the crew gets to your new digs, they will unload these boxes. Then, with your guidance, they will rearrange everything in your new home. In that entire move, all you would have had to do was cut a check, and point some fingers (although, if pointing hurts, a nod would most likely also do the trick).
