How Much Do You Need ?

How Much Do You Need ?
Hello all, since telling the majority of our family about our decision to start a new life all we seem to get are negatives like 'oh you need loads of money to take with you ...' and 'your house isn't worth enough for you to qualify...'. These comments although annoying from people we thought would be more supportive are starting to give me a headache but got me wandering, do you need a certain amount of cash or could you go over on a shoe string. We're hoping to take atleast £50k from the sale of our house but would like to throw something back at these Know it all Know Nothings..... Were going out hopefuly with a Skilled Independent 136.

For other visa's I beleive you have to prove your ability to support yourself - -but with the 136 they already know you have the skills to do just that.

My in laws are being a bit of a nightmare and keep telling us we won't be able to afford to move. They don't even know much about it but are just trying very hard to convince us to stay.

It sounds to me like your "family & friends" are trying anything they can to sew the seed of doubt in your mind and hopefully put you off the whole idea. Stick to your plans and as has already been said people go over with lots more money and a hell of a lot less, it's up to the individual family, and if you want it badly enough I'm sure you'll make it work.
We haven't gone yet but will budget accordingly when we do.

We don't have a great deal to take with us and by the time we've paid for flights, husbands training, dog, shipping etc we'll have even less.
Some people have gone with nothing and others with hundres of thousands.
Just do it!

Re: How Much Do You Need ?
just the view that we are taking over there once we leave......we know its going to be a bit hard to start with and we know there will be days when we wnoder whats going on......but the days of chilling on the beach, having barbies sitting outside drnking vino til late will certainly outwiegh the negatives.
We wnt be taking a fortune with us but we ill be armedwith a 136 and be willing to work hard at it to succeed.

Thats not true. You wont pay tax on any of your funds brought from the UK regardless of the time. Its perhaps the most famous BE urban myth. There is no 6 month rule.
