Whether you are moving from your college apartment to your first “adult” rental in a new city or cross-country due to a promotion, you will likely be separated from a majority of your worldly possessions as both you - and they - make the way to your new home. Before you close the door [...]

Tomorrow, I move 1,000 miles away from the city I have called home for many years. From the friends (and former roommates) who have been there with me through life’s ups and downs. From the people that I work with whom I used to call co-workers and now call friends (and nearly brothers).
It’s a strange [...]

Today’s post comes from, Noah, our summer intern at WilliamPaid. Noah will be attending the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas-Austin this fall.
In less than a month, I will be moving into my new college dorm, at the University of Texas, with my three, very cool, roommates. These are the first “real” [...]

As I’ve been packing up my apartment and getting ready to move 1,000 miles away, I’ve discovered that I’ve been unintentionally harboring several (okay, more than several) things that below to others.

In addition to all of those [...]

You’re not alone - 80% of 2009 college graduates have forgone the post-college apartment and moved back home. At a time when you expected to be picking out futons and meeting [...]

What do you get when you combine a renter’s tight budget and oversized furniture? One crazy story.
Last week, my futon, which I ordered from Wal-Mart using the WilliamPaid shopping site, was finally ready for pick up! I had it shipped to a location nearby for free to save a bit of cash. [...]

Move to new city. Check.
Get job. Check.
Rent apartment. Check.
Make friends. Working at it.
One of the scariest parts of moving was leaving all of my friends and family to head to a place where I knew almost no one. Renting an apartment by myself, without a roommate, added to my [...]

Unfortunately, moving apartments actually involves two moves - the one out of your old apartment and the one to your new apartment. Remembering all the things that need to get done can be a pain. You know all the basics - get boxes, plan ahead, yada, yada.
It’s those annoying little things [...]
