You’ve just wed the man or woman of your dreams. Now you’re thinking about finding a new place to live together and begin the adventure called marriage. But because you’re part of the team, you’re going to have to go about your move differently than you did when you were single.
At some point, you may find that because of financial issues or another crisis, you need to move back in with either your parents or other family members. No matter what the reason is, this can still be an especially difficult and complicated relocation experience.
Long-term traveling is a lot like moving in that you’ll need to go through what you have to figure out what to keep and what to get rid of.

Also, consider having a yard sale.
As you go over your options, don’t be afraid to look beyond the places you’ve already considered.

College students everywhere are gearing up for another school year. And if you are like many of them, you’ll be sharing your living space, either in a dormitory, apartment or house, with at least one other person. If you already know your room or housemates, that’s one thing.
Did you know that, for some moves, you can deduct certain kinds of expenses from your total income when you file your taxes? Yup, that’s right. But in order to maximize your savings, you need to meet certain criteria and be aware of what you can and cannot include in your computations.
You know things are serious between you and your partner when the both of you decide to move in together. But before you go house-hunting and start packing your things, both of you will need to sit down and figure out what you’ll combine in your new household and what you won’t.
A baby makes everything you do — including move — a challenge. That’s because you always have to keep an eye on Junior to ensure he or she is safe. Fortunately, you can minimize stress for both you and your infant through careful organization and planning.
