It doesn’t matter if you are relocating inside the Chicago area or moving long distance – relocating is going to cost money, that’s for sure. Also, you think you can mostly predict all the moving costs. New rent or a mortgage is one of the essentials. Then, there is the cost of hiring a professional moving team (or only a moving truck, depending on what you can afford). Lastly, you will have to get some moving and packing supplies and that would cover it, right? Unfortunately, more costs can spring up and surprise you.
Many relocation costs can be an unpleasant surprise and exceed your budget quite a bit. Here is some help to detect them.

You will have to buy a new one, and this might be one of the costs you will forget about. Yes, getting new furniture pieces can be put off for later, but it will have to be done eventually.
Restocking on Food in New Home
If you are moving locally, this wouldn’t be much of an issue since it will be easier to transport food. If you are moving further, and especially with the relocation during summer, transporting food is mission impossible.

Even though this list seems scary and relocation looks like quite an expensive adventure, it is most certainly doable, like anything else. We wish you good luck and a safe move – all things will fall into place.
