Hello,
In reading my handbook and reading some older threads on this board, it has become aparant that relocating will take a big wad of cash. My question is, how big. Can those of you who are closer to making the move, or who have already made the move, give us some idea of how much money we should plan on having in savings before making the jump. Are we talking $5,000 or $50,000 or $500,000. Just want a general idea. Obviously the more the better, but what would be a realistic minimum.
Hubby and I are about 2 years away from our move, so we have a little time to set a savings goal.
Thank you all for your help,
Lisa Smith

hi lisa, we are about 2 years away to moving to stx too. i heard about 10 thousand dollars to start for a couple months. things like transporting cars( although we are thinking of buying one as soon as we get there), utilties, insurance, cable etc etc. we would like to stay like 6 months out of the year. like december thru april or may. dont know if we should buy a condo or long term rental or what. just now trying to put things together and see if we can swing it. good luck

Lisa,
Including shipping two cars, deposits on rental property, buying car insurance and all the other expenses of moving here, we spent a little over $10K. That was two years ago.
