not at all what is happening. they had cheaper alternatives, they have been ignoring them since the beginning of this, even when they still had time.

why did they need to fly? why did they need to ship their cars? why hire a moving company for more than loading/unloading when you could have driven?

yeah, driving sucks, but i'm sorry they went about this in the most expensive way possible, and cat admitted she knew this many different times. Plane tickets, all encompassing movers, car shipping, shipping the pets on the flight, et. al.

this is not about the moving company misquoting her (especially when they dragged their asses packing, rushed the process, and probably miscommunicated to the movers in the first place). and this is not about anyone poor-shaming them. we're all fucking strapped for resources, which is why people are so incensed at the clueless level of her asking for $2k > $3k > $5k > $6k as the amount just kept increasing. none of us are a magic resource for her, and she has been offered alternatives just to shoot them down as they're given.

her asking for ideas now is a bit rich, honestly. would she even listen to them if they're not that tumblr level of uwu self-care?

all of this. there were ways to do what they wanted to do for a fraction of what they ended up paying if they had just done some research instead of jumping in with both feet. i know people who have moved cross-country for less than half of what they're begging for. they packed up their stuff themselves, rented a uhaul, drove, and stayed in pet-friendly motels.
