How I Am Justifying Hiring Movers

by Katie Peoples

• It’ll save my back!

• My husband can’t get time off work to help.

• My local slave labor family are mostly under age 13. I don’t think my three-year-old nephew will be much help.

• It’s too hot to pick things up.

• I can hire movers if I don’t go out for the next month. I can do that.

• My back!

• I live on the third floor. I’m moving to the third floor. These two things are no fun.

• I’m helping the local economy.

• I already helped a friend move this year. This is sort of pay back, except I’m paying myself back by paying the movers.

• Seriously, my back. And while we’re at it, my knees.

• For the first time in our lives we can afford it. Lifestyle creep is real, people.
