"Most relocation guides tell you how to pack a box. But the most expensive part of a move isn't the moving van. It's what happens when you realize you've made a mistake and decide to move back. At the time you most need to make critical decisions, you're usually cut off from familiar friends, family and resources. Mistakes can be costly in both money and emotion. This book helps you avoid these mistakes from the moment you first consider a move, to the moment you watch your possessions disappear into a moving van, to the first six months and one year after you move."--Publisher's description.
