Packing is one of those dreaded but necessary chores of moving. Not only is it time consuming, but it sheds light on how much we really have accumulated since the last move. But it can be a manageable task by starting early and having a plan.

The deadline for the current credit is fast approaching (Nov. 30th) and if you&#8217;re not in contract already to buy a house, it is unlikely that you will be able to take advantage of the present credit.
