These days you can have someone pack you, then move yourself.
Or you can pack yourself, then have someone move you.
And, you can have estate sales type places come give you evaluations and bids for the items you can part with after all these years, especially if you are moving into smaller housing.
I moved self=packed a one bedroom house with no sofa, w/d, stove or refrigerator, from Austin, TX, to central VA, 7 years ago and the cost was over $2500. My father help with move financially, but I'd have felt it was worth every penny to have full, good help so I didn't have to exhaust myself at 62 years old.
Best to you.
