1. How big are your biceps?

Even if you are really strong, it can be quite difficult to maneuver that huge couch down the stairs. How did you even get that thing up there in the first place!? Good luck with that, we'll just sit and watch from a very safe distance.

2. Are you popular?

Having a lot of friends is a good thing during a move, as long your friends aren't as lazy as you. Uhoh, hope we didn't just ruin your plans!

3. Do you live for mental breakdowns?

Nothing beats someone down like having to put all their belongings into bags and boxes. If a weekend in a padded room sounds refreshing to you then you might want to do this move yourself.

4. How much do you like back pain?

Wouldn't it be awesome to get a debilitating injury that put you out of work when you just moved? Especially since you could have easily paid someone else to do the work for you.

5. How much do stuff do you own?

If you live like a Buddhist monk or bachelor, you probably won't really need the assistance of movers.

6. How many stairs are involved?

Think you don't own that much stuff? You may not think that after the zillionth time of running up and down the stairs.

7. Do you own a girl car?

The Prius may be good for picking up cute girls at the bar, but when it comes to moving, it isn't the ideal vehicle. If you are going to have to rent a moving truck anyways, might as well get the movers to come with it.

8. Do you like to whine?

If you like to whine, then you could do the move yourself. Or you could hire movers anyways, but whine to all of your friends that you're doing the move all by yourself. They'll never know the difference!

9. Do you like wine?

Get ready to explore that alcoholic gene, because you're going to need a bottle or ten for all the stress that this move will cause. We guess that beer or liquor would be okay too, but we just thought you'd want some wine to go with your whine. Cheers to your move!

10. Do you ever want to move again?

Hire movers if you ever want to move again. Once you've done a move yourself the likelihood of ever wanting to move again is extremely low.
