Ask YC:Moving Costs

Right now my lease in MKE is up at the end of May, and I am seriously considering a move to SF. As part of my planing, I am trying to figure out how much it will cost to move out there.

It looks like Truck Rental alone will run $1500, and then there is gas. At 7 MPG, going from MKE-SFO, might cost an additional 310-350 gallons of gas, at $4-$5 a gallon, or another $1,500 just in gas.

I have heard of POD, but I was wondering if anyone else had some ideas?

Plan B is to sell everything.

Plan C is to put it in storage here in MKE and move with a suitcase to the valley.

Plan D is to stay in MKE, reduce costs further and travel to the Valley, at regular intervals.

Plan Pipedream, is to get funded.

What advice can the group offer?
