There are plenty of exciting things about buying a house. Packing up and moving everything you own isn’t one of them. In fact, according to a new survey, it’s something more than two-thirds of Americans say they dread – so much so, they’d prefer getting a root canal or serving on a jury over having to do it. That’s pretty bad. The survey – conducted by Duck, a brand of moving supplies – found that, despite how much movers dislike the packing process, 32 percent of them are still planning to do the work themselves and 45 percent have started decluttering in hopes of lessening the load and saving some money on supplies and expenses. That might work to cut costs but it won’t box up your belongings or help you move your furniture. That’s what friends and family are for and, fortunately for future movers, 90 percent of Americans say they’re willing to lend a hand. (source)
