We (two people) are moving from the west coast USA to the east coast soon. I’m looking for ideas on how to do this as cheaply as possible. Renting a uhaul looks like about $5k before gas costs. Seems like a lot. Anyone have creative ideas?

Learn to part with at least a few things to be sure. Furniture can be easily replaced, unless you got an antique armoire knocking around.
Already planning to get rid of anything it won’t cost more to replace (or can’t replace). Will still need bed/couch/washer/dryer/TV etc.
when i moved from san francisco to new york 20ish years ago; i left all of it behind except for a mattress, clothes and blankets and it costed less than $500 since i put those things in the back of my pickup truck and drove there.
i’ve had to move another dozen or so times since then and i’ve adjusted to living w few enough possessions that i can just throw them in the back of my pickup truck and leave whenever i get tired of the place i live in; even my washer and dryer are portable.
Before I got married, everything I owned fit in my station wagon. I remember feeling very free.
Same here when I was “married” (technically not married since it was illegal at the time) .
Somehow couples are incapable of doing this.
