Tips to Follow When Moving Out for the First Time | Singh Movers

Moving out for the first time is extremely exciting. It can also be a little overwhelming, especially if you have not had a lot of responsibility before in terms of living on your own. But in between the excitement over finally snagging your own place and the anxiety of having to leave your comfort zone is a list of things that must be done to make moving out for the first time as a process as possible.

Tips for before the move

You will probably not be surprised to hear that the house moving process starts long before moving day. Here’s a list of tips to make the move easier on everyone

Figure Out Finances First

Let's start with one of the most stressful parts of moving out for the first time: financing your new life. Even if you have a job or student loan that helps you out, it can still be incredibly worrying to suddenly take over the task of not only paying your rent but also paying to fill your fridge, keep your electricity and internet running, and to buy all the household goods that are on somehow appeared magically in front of you before.

When you are living at home, you have at least some kind of financial safety net. Now that you are going out on your own, you should have a better understanding of what the budget is and how it works. Even though this is not the funniest step to move out of your parents' home, it is an important one.

Start tracking your monthly income and find out what your average monthly expenses are. Start by listing the non-negotiable payments such as your car, groceries, phone bill, and so on. Then divide by how much income you need and how much you can afford and want to spend on rent.

Plan your relocation budget - including the cost of renting a moving company or rental moving truck. Get a fixed quote so you know what to expect and compare renting a truck with professional movers.

Decide what you have left to spend on purchases you will need to make for your first apartment. Since you will likely need to pay a security deposit as well as your first month's rent, remove some extra cash in the months leading up to your move.

Find a suitable place to live

It may take some time, but it will definitely pay off if you do not hurry. There are various places to look for a good apartment online, and the best platform to start is your social media profiles.

Get informed that you are looking for good rental and see what comes up. Be clear about your price range and desired location.

You can also go through lists on Craigslist, Apartments.com, ForRent, or Rent Jungle.

Stick to your rental budget! It can be tempting to choose something outside of your price range just because it's nice, but you'll probably regret it along the way.

Choose your location to be close to your workplace, as well as other attractions. For example, you may want to live near a gym, a park, or a really good bakery.

Make sure your new home is secure. If the rent seems too low, check the crime rate on the street before signing the lease.

Decide how important it is for your new apartment to have good public transport. It can potentially make your social life livelier and can even mean that you can ditch your car (and car payments).

Anyway, plan ahead and start collecting things you need for your new homes such as furniture, kitchenware, and personal essentials - unless you are planning to move cross-country skiing. In that case, it's smarter to buy these things once you've moved. 

 

Figure Out if You Want to (and Can Afford to) Live Alone

Getting a roommate is a great way to split costs and save on costs. It can also be nice to share your living space with someone and have some company when you move out for the first time. But of course, a roommate is not for everyone. You need to decide if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages (and vice versa), and more importantly if you can even afford to consider living alone.

There are many ways to find a roommate. You can find someone online or through a friend and then go find an apartment together, or you can look at renting a room in an apartment that already has a renter. However, make sure you ask the right questions so that you do not inadvertently sign up to spend months, a year, or more sharing walls with someone whom you don’t get along with.

If you decide you want to live alone, make sure you can do it responsibly within your budget guidelines. If it gets too long, you can just think of a six-month lease with a roommate and then spend that time looking for a better paying job or additional side jobs so you can save enough for a one-bedroom apartment.

Figure Out Your Moving Plan

Before you can live on your own, you have to physically make your move - and it's a process that can be stressful the 20th time you do it, let alone the first. Fortunately, you are in the right place for moving advice. Our best advice: make a plan and give yourself plenty of time to do each task.

So what does movement mean? Some of your biggest tasks are:

Find out if you need to rent a mover or rent a truck. Since you are moving out for the first time, the chances are high that you do not have lots of furniture to transport and it may be okay to move on your own. But if you need to hire movers, then Singh movers are always ready to make you move secure.

Get moving boxes and supplies. 

Organize and get rid of things. You have lived in your home for several years, so even if you just unpack the things in your bedroom, there are definitely many things you can get rid of. Go through your closet and all your drawers and pull out all the things you no longer want or need. Then make a plan to donate, recycle, or throw away each item as needed.

Packing up your belongings. The packaging always takes longer than you think, so give yourself more time for this than you expect to need. And don't just throw everything in boxes and call it a day. Take the time to pack sensitive items, mark your boxes, and fill in the gaps so that nothing moves during transport. 

Find out where you need to update your address

As soon as you move to your new address, you must update the post office as well as any companies that send invoices or other types of communication. If you moved to another state, you will need a new driver's license or ID. and update your vehicle registration if you brought a car.

Keep in mind that you will probably have a lot of emotions spinning around in the middle of all the hassle of moving tasks, budgeting, and roommate hunting. Whatever you feel is okay! Grief, fear of change, and the feeling of being overwhelmed are all normal when you move out for the first time and are often right next to feelings of elation and eager anticipation. Fortunately, it is a process that everyone goes through. Talk to friends and family members about how you are feeling, and along with getting some peace (and someone to share your excitement with), you will probably also get some extra tips to facilitate the transition.
