Wherever you are moving to, the cost of living isn’t going to be the same as in the US. So, research ahead and find out how much it costs, monthly, to pay for things such as groceries, transportation, utility bills, and everything else you need for your day-to-day life. Also, remember the costs of opening a bank account and find out if you’re liable for expat taxes. Once you know all of this, work out a budget that will allow you to live in your chosen country for at least a couple of months. Arguably, this is less important if you are moving with a job offer already in hand, as you will be financially secured, by it does not hurt to be prepared. Additionally, don’t forget to factor in the costs of moving around the world in your budget. These relocations can get expensive very quickly, so plan for that.
