We are moving from a brooklyn two bedroom to a house in a community around an hr away. Does 5000 sound like enough of a budget for the move. That should include the movers, random odds and ends like a garbage can and bathmat for our second bathroom and take out food for the few days before the move etc. Does that seem like enough and if not how much do u think we'll need?

It costed us $5,000 to move cross country. Your move should be less than half of that.

we moved across the country for roughly $5000.

Then we moved from one street to the next (we DID use packers and movers though we COULD have marched all our furniture through the Rabbi's backyard-- lol) and it was a heck of a lot less than $5000.

You're fine. Hatzlacha! Get quotes from several movers and for the really breakable stuff, rather than go crazy with bubble wrap, set it all in boxes with towels on the floor of your car and drive it over.

See if you can get free or cheap boxes from Craigslist because all the packing materials starts to add up. Someone gave me a load of boxes because she had recently moved but I still needed some more and they were expensive.

Try to take a good amount of time to pack so that you can think about whether you want to pay someone to move an item.

We moved from Brooklyn to Monsey. The move including everything came out about $3500.

You should definitely be able to move (included all the misc. expenses) for far less than that. You could probably even have the movers personally pack your entire apartment for you and still be under budget.
