Who the hell can afford it? Boomers, mostly, that aren't selling their homes anyways

I paid for movers when I moved into my house, but I'm a mid thirties dude with health problems and two partners who are worse off than I am physically. With what I paid to be able to get a house (and admittedly I'm privileged enough to be able to save and purchase it), it was a rounding error to hire movers. Not even $1000 for 2 dudes to move all of my shit from 2 apartments to a house and moved a bunch of heavy furniture up or down flights of stairs.

Paying even $1000 in exchange for not being in agony for months after we moved was a price well paid.

Boomers with too much money really are to blame for everything 😂

I don’t know. I’m in the commercial furniture side of it.
