At least it has some novelty rather than the usual misuse of "your."

I mean, the grammar might be wrong, but I am friends and I am too old.

A small part of me was relieved as well when a family member decided to pay for movers, and after meticulous research into the best reviewed moving company, the shitshow that was 2 amateurs wrecking multiple furniture items despite clear instructions, taking an hour for a 15 minute driving, and slacking off; only putting more work into it and contacting the company to get compensated for it, was so incredibly not worth it. But in theory, and if it works out in practise, sure.

You don't know me, stop talking about my life. You're just a horse.

I mean, sure I would be relieved myself as well, I don't want to do labour if I can avoid it

But that still doesn't mean I don't want to do it for ny friends and only do it out of a sense of obligation or anything. I genuinely want to help, and make life easier for the people I care about, even if it's a bother from my end

I think we've also crossed that age threshold while in our current house and will hire pros next time, but I will say, our last move we did with friends and it was also done and dusted in half a day because we had everything prepared pretty good and the folks that helped us out didn't fuck around. Took two trips with the big rental van and about 4h total I think.

Good hack! It's like the difference on price between event catering for a birthday, and event catering for a wedding.

"Moving house" is a rare occurrence, so they can charge a premium. "Load a truck with boxes" could be anything, and doesn't attract the same overhead.

This. I'm smack in the middle of prepping for this. A friend came out and visited and helped me start boxing. I have another who's coming out to drive the truck. I could but he's got his CDL and is willing to do it.

Getting movers that drive the truck out of town is expensive, but in town, or just some big dudes to load/unload is much less. Everyone's financial situation is different but I was shocked at how different the price of those two categories was.

Who the hell can afford it? Boomers, mostly, that aren't selling their homes anyways

How many stairs, how awkward is it to get out, and how many "insignificant" boxes are there to put in the truck?

Family and their spawn are different, they know they're free labor, that's the deal!

For me the first time was when I just sat down wrong. I started lifting weights and I've been fine since. Can highly recommend. I only wish I'd started sooner.

We joked 5 yrs back about having to buddy up to get ski boots on. We're now working out the rota!

In my opinion, no. You are allowed to have boundaries for whatever reason you want.

My physical therapist tells me it's not that my muscles are weak, it's that my ligaments are made of boiled noodles that refuse to keep my joints in their proper place. I have a lifetime of unrecognized hypermobility to contend with. That damage to joints is cumulative. I'm not risking popping a joint out of place just to help someone move.

I just turned 40 and I go on 40 mile hikes in the mountains with 10,000 feet elevation gain. I am assuming the people making these comments are sedentary and moving is one of the only times when they actually have to use their bodies.

There's a saying "the less you do, the less you do" that is applicable here.

Yeah it's worrying seeing so many people my age claiming that they are falling apart. I'm 35 and my body is fine. The only wonky thing is that my face feels like it sets on fire if I yawn incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure that's a TMJ injury caused from stress clenching rather than age.
