For the 41 million Americans who move every year, this clearly written guide helps prepare for the big day with valuable tips on: getting organized; budgeting; choosing a mover; packing valuables; handling kids and pets on moving day; and setting up the new house (electricity, phone, cleaning, etc.). It also informs readers on what to do if something goes wrong, such as breakage or loss.

About this title

Review:

Americans probably move more often than anyone else on earth these days, but very few have mastered the logistics of doing so without major trauma, confusion, and lots of unpleasant surprises in the bargain. Ramsey's book should fix that! This book doesn't miss a trick--from a month-to-month, week-to-week, day-to-day countdown of advance preparations to tips on minimizing the trauma of the move for children, all facets are covered in great detail, including how to choose the right mover and/or vehicle, packing tips, unpacking tips, advice on encouraging the family to work together, and how to safely move plants and pets. Budgets, safety, "survival kits" for moving day, and getting settled into your new neighborhood are well described in this completely thorough manual to reducing the trials of moving. --Mark A. Hetts
