Hi all! I saw a post in another message board and wanted to see what input this group may have.

About how much money should someone have saved to cover expenses for an overseas move? Are any expenses covered by DoDEA upfront or are most reimbursed at a later time? Any input would be helpful. Thank you!

If you need an additional car for a spouse (which depends on if the base you arrive at lets you) you would need to purchase one and sell it before you moved again. It is probably a good idea also to decide if your car is "worth" shipping and maintaining in a new country.
