Experience of driving cross country with my sister in a Penske truck - Priceless
(And yes, I did use a Mastercard for most of the trip. And got several phones calls from them making sure my card wasn't stolen. :) I'm not complaining. I'd rather they check.)
Surprised? I have to admit, I was a little, I thought we'd break even at best. So woohoo!

Question:
So, the question of the week: Did I save, break even, or spend more money than if I had hired movers?
Saved. Right decision!
Broke even. But it was fun to drive, right?
Spent more. Oops. Should've gone with the movers!

I'm shocked. I figured with the non-direct route to California and the price of gas that we would be lucky to break even. Well, I'm glad it was cheaper!
