I reckon I spent £10k on the process (visas, shipping and flights)
And then another £10k between landing and getting my first pay check. And it only took me a month to find work - (I actually turned one job down 3 days after landing which I somewhat regret... However that's another story)...
But.. If I hadn't found work within a month, we would have needed to spend a lot more.
Month to month living for the 3 of us... The essentials .. IE Rent, gas, elec, water, food probably comes at around $4000 per month in Melbourne. So if you factor in potentially not working for 6 months I reckon you'd want $25k - $30k just to cover living costs for that period.
