Seconding pods. Have moved from Pittsburgh to Florida and back using them. The pod is slightly more than just a moving truck in my experience but imo it's worth the added cost of you can swing it just because of the freedom of loading and unloading over a week instead of trying to slam everything out in a couple days. Plus I don't have to drive a shitty U-Haul for hours on end and can spend that time in my car which I enjoy driving.

Moved from Westmoreland county to Holiday, Florida in March of 2017. Moved back in June of 2021. Loved Florida and the people for the most part but also hated everything about it. Insane amounts of traffic the summers were brutal. The pay was shit and the bills expensive. Idk how anything making less than 6 figures enjoys living in Florida honestly. For me it was constant stress over money. I was paying double for rent there compared to what I pay on my mortgage up here. And I couldn't buy anything worth buying in Florida because I made so little and the home prices were through the roof.
