I bet moving costs at least $400 out of pocket plus you have to value you time. 2 people packing and moving is 20+ hours each. 40 hours * $20/hr = $800 so you are breaking even at best.



Well, you loose that bet then! ;)

Also, paying myself is a strange concept. Yeah, it's 'lost time' but only to me and my family. It's not like other forms of employment. Besides, it keeps us a bit lighter on the clutter, though we would like some more things in life. $800 payed to myself is a lot different than $800 paid to some movers.
