We are living in a rental. Before we signed the lease, we explained to the landlord that we would need an early termination option. They added it to the lease, so we are covered from that perspective. We give our notice at the end of January.
It has worked out well so far. The worst part of all this was packing our house up to move. That was the absolute worse experience. We accumulated so much stuff over the years ....it took forever to get everything out and cleaned/disinfected for the renter.
We had to put a bunch of our stuff in storage.
One of the reasons I kinda hope our home doesn't sell before our home is completed-only have to move once.
We've been in this house for 30+ years, and despite frequent yard sales, and Goodwill pickups, we have "stuff." I've just flat out given chairs, couches, lamps, old lawn mowers, tools etc away. I guess ours is not bad for all those years of living here. Our intent is to go room by room and decide which makes the cut and which doesn't. It will either go in the truck, or the yard sale pile.
Our attic never had much other than Christmas, so with the Christmas stuff out right now, I'm clear to move the rest of the boxes up there, which are a few old toys and clothes of my son when he was little. My wife is sentimental about it, but I told her it was just junk and not worth the trouble to move to the new house. So Goodwill will be making a call day after New Year.
So why they call ya Frugal? LOL
