Excerpt
It is universally known that moving often turns out to be a stressful experience with an insatiable appetite for time and money. The psychological impact of any relocation process cannot be predicted with any certainty and its side effects may last from a couple of weeks to a few years depending on what type of person you are. Being well prepared for the upcoming move is fundamental not only for your emotional well-being, but for that of the people around you as well.
