lookinf for ccard for me

Monkeyballs

Hi Linkman,

I know the situation as I have Polish friends who did the same thing when they came to the UK.

Best thing to do is send a small amount home but leave yourself enough to live off and build a small emergency fund of maybe £500 (£100 per month for 5 months or quicker if you are well paid).

Then when you have an emergency fund and you have your finances and a budget in order then look at increasing what you send home.

Finding yourself stuck in a foreign country without any sort of back up if your situation takes a change for the worst is not a pleasant situation to be in - I've seen it and helped people through it, you want to avoid it.

Best of all, if everything goes well and you never use that fund then if/when you go home then it's a nice little bonus to either buy gifts or give as a present to your family

Don't go down the credit card route though - it's a short term solution but a long term problem.

I wasn't speaking about benefits! Rather the risk of people borrowing a lot of money in one country and fleeing lol! No offence intended to anyone!
