Start a moving tradition. I want to somehow get the whole world on board with a new common practice.

When someone moves, instead of asking all your friends to help by involving their muscle and pickups I want to turn moving day into the same theme as wedding gifts. Put out the call, invitations, etc when you are soon to move and then everyone puts in $20 to hire movers.

Our last move, we hired movers and it was the best $600 ever spent. They took care of all the big stuff while we focused on the small boxes that could be carried by one person and in smaller cars.

Movers can get the job done in much shorter amount of time and with much more efficiency. As we get older, we don't need to be lugging couches around tight corners risking injuries to ourselves.

So let's make this an acceptable practice and a tradition. The "invited" parties can show up on moving day and drink beer, eat pizza and sub sandwiches, help pack or unpack boxes, and have a good time while the pros handle the serious moving.

Who's with me?
