S<\/em>ometimes moving to earn\/save money<\/a> doesn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t begrudge someone moving from NYC to Marfa, TX for following their dreams of a simpler life full of UFO-themed merchandise and X-Files references. If they left expecting to find the same level of public transportation in rural Texas and didn\u2019t factor in purchasing a car, paying for gas, insurance, and title fees, well…that\u2019s a side-eye\u2019in.<\/p>\n

Obviously, no one can ever be 100% sure what\u2019ll happen on big moves in life that don\u2019t involve its conclusion, but realtors CAN help others to help themselves be a little more informed and much more confident.<\/p>\n

Where information about the pros and cons of packing up and switching zip codes for work is concerned; moving company, Move Buddha<\/a>, has an app for that.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a cute quiz that asks a few gently pointed questions about prospects\u2019 networks, salary expectations, child involvement, spouse involvement, etc., all adding up to the big question made up of several little questions that you can\u2019t ask yourself whilst maintaining your professionalism. That question is: Do you know what you\u2019re doing?<\/p>\n

P.S. According to the stats offered in their blog post about the app, if one-half of a couple is moving to be with a partner for THEIR new job…there\u2019s a 66% chance that the couple doesn’t know what they are doing.<\/p>\n

P.P.S. It let me know that I wouldn\u2019t be saving nearly as much money as I thought moving back to Fort Worth proper to keep up the game of \u2018Let\u2019s steal each other’s clothes and home goods\u2019 I have going with my mother, so that\u2019s definitely something to think\/chew through a few pens about.<\/p>\n

All in all, this tool, while definitely a promotional accessory for its parent company above all else, is pretty useful. It\u2019s nothing anyone would expect to lay out every little possible outcome, but it does give users a valuable jumping-off point to plan where they\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering partnering with more moving companies for promotion, formally or otherwise, this brings up a lot of salient points to address with new address seekers, especially the more painful ones that can bring your relationship a little closer and a little more likely to be profitable on both sides.<\/p>\n
