Holy CRAP Moving is EXPENSIVE!
So I just totalled up the costs of the move to date...
Reimbursable expenses alone; only covering the actual trip up here, rental truck, fuel and mileage, meals, and hotels...
$4,788
... damn...
That's not including any of the expenses for temporary housing, restaurants, food etc... for the 26 day house hunting trip.
... and we've still got to drive back to AZ, then back from AZ to NH again (revised est. cost $4,300).
Surprisingly, the biggest expense isn't the fuel, its the hotels and the food. Fuel is actually smaller than either.
Our original estimate of total moving costs was $8,000, so we're looking at about $1000 over budget, or about 12%.
... of course, as I said, that doesn't include the increased costs for this month, restaurants, fuel etc...
