Congratulations on finding your new home AND the raise. 
Is it as nice as your old place?

Between August 2006 and August 2007 I moved a total of eight times. Mostly due to the very transitionary point in my life at the time, but also not something I care to repeat. I have two pieces of advice:
1) Enlist your friends to help. The more people the better. Make sure to feed them and have plenty of water or other acceptable beverage available. Yes, you should be the one to pay for this. They're going to be helping you to move and make it as least stressful as possible in as quick a timeframe as possible so you want them to be well fed and well hydrated.
2) Go to a liquor store and ask for as many empty boxes as they are willing to give you. Do this around 4pm. They make for excellent packaging, save you money from having to actually buy boxes, and are easy to dispose of (Recycle!)

No, not really. But my "old place" was my parents' house, so being on my own makes up for a lot. Not that I have a problem with my parents or anything, it is just nice to be on one's own.
Yeah, I hear ya'. I've quickly learned I'd rather have a humble box of my own than live at home on my mother's turf under her arbitrary rules and regulations. For this I'm willing to sacrifice the joys of my favourite home cooked foods and lack of bills.
When you used to post about getting robbed mulitple times and sleeping with a gun under your pillow, that was at your family home? There's no honour among thieves anymore!
Congrats once again!

No, that was another place. After living in that hellhole my parents wanted me to move back in with them. And I didn't sleep with a gun under my pillow, I slept with a rifle in my hands.
