We bought the house next door to our rental. 15 of our friends and family helped us move in an afternoon.

I've moved nearly a dozen times. The last time was made easy with the help of friends and a can't-beat-it location.

Deborah Goldstein, an article author, bought the house next to her rental property. Her friends and family assisted her during the move from her rental home. Despite the stressful nature of moving, the author was grateful for the help she received. Her first time moving as an adult was to a dorm room in college, and she had moved 10 more times since then.

The author and her 10-year-old son moved next door in October 2020, and they decided to buy the house instead of renting it. The move was made easier due to the help of 15 friends and family members who gathered to assist. The author described the move as a "fire brigade line" with friends and family passing belongings from one door to the next.

They managed to move all smaller items in 30 minutes, and the rest of the move took under two hours with professional movers.
