I just filed my tax return using the online version of H&R Block's TaxCut software. Uncle Sam is sending me back a decent bit, just a little lower than I was hoping but not much.
This money will goes a good ways towards moving. Tomorrow I should be getting a little bit more money my way for the move.
Tomorrow I am going to go talk to my landlady about breaking my lease and any penalties for doing so. Hopefully there won't be many of those.
Yesterday I talked to some family I have in the Winter Garden area and they offered to let me stay in a spare room they have for a few months while I get established in my role and can look for a place of my own. It'll be a lot easier to apartment hunt once I'm in the area. I'm probably going to take them up on the offer. I'll be about 30 minutes from WDW which isn't to bad. Nearly all of the travel time appears to be on one road so that's easy, I just hope the road doesn't get to crowded that often.
I've already begun checking truck rental prices and Penske has some good prices to rent a truck and car hauler. I still need to research it but the return place is a self-storage place and I am going to need a shed for some of my things so that's convenient. I'm thinking I can unload what I need at the house then head to the self-storage place to move the rest into a shed and then return the truck.
I still need to check Ryder and Budget but I'm not checking Uhaul. I've heard a number of horror stories about them and know that they charge more in mileage and similar charges than the other companies. Their trucks also are bad and can be quite old. I drove one one time for a friend as he can't drive a stick while I can and I hated it. The thing drove really badly and was probably nearly as old, if not older, than me. On the other hand, Penske replaces half their fleet every year. I've driven a Penske before and loved it, that's why I checked with them first.
