Congratulations! You’ve taken that step in your career and accepted a job offer in another location. You’ve been given a check to cover your moving expenses and a start date to show up. Now that it’s up to you to start coordinating everything to move your family, vehicle, and pets, you may be wondering where to start.
Your lump sum package is intended to fully cover or offset the costs you will incur with your move. This can typically include home finding trips, lease cancellation fees or home sale costs, household goods moving and storage, automobile shipping, pet move, temporary living, home finding, final trip travel and settling in services. Deciding how to spend the money, and knowing how to make it stretch, can seem daunting at first.
