How much money will I need to move to Germany?
I need to know how much moo-la I will need to live in Germany. I mean after I get there. How much will I need for food and a place to live? How much do I need to make in a month/week to be able to live decently? I am going to be there for 2-3 years.

Well lets it does depend on the comfort you are looking for.if you are happy with a single bedroom and a shared kitchen or something,you may find something for 300-400euros,so lets say if you earn upto a 1000euros you will have enough money to manage the rest of the motnh.As food is a bit cheaper than in the UK,Holland,Belgium and France. But lets say you want a 1 or 2 bedroom appartment,you will be safe when you make between 1200-1500 euros every month. (Normally you should ahve enough to pay gas,electricity,water,tax,food,phoenbills,intenretconnection and you can even set a bit aside)But please know all does depend on where you want t olive,example Berlin,in the middle of the centre is a lot more expensive than in the suburbs. or smaller towns.Thats a rule that applies all over the world. Hope this helps.

when u live here for one month you'll need more than 1000 Dollar (900-1000€ Euro). You can live very comfortable when u have 1500 Dollar (1400-1500€ Euro)Where do you wanna live? In Munic its expensive, there you'll need more money, much more! And you won't find an appartment, never! The rents are so high! But you can find very nice appartments in Berlin and Colone, Frankfurt and Munic (but remember: its expensive there!). You'll need aleast 200-300€ per months for food. the rent for an appartment will be something between 200€ and 400€ per months (You'll pay the money for water, electricity and stuff with this rent! everything with these 200€ - 400€!) If you have a car be warned! gas is extremely expensive here: 1.40€ (i think it should be about 2 dollars) per Liter gas. So best is you'll use the bus/train/subway...thats cheaper. and don't forget to make sure that if something happens to you (accident...) the doctor will get paid! we got a crazy system here, everybody wants to be sure to get the money before they've done anything for you! good luck to you! greets from Berlin

Just sold my house. I will make quite a bit of money on the sale. How do I protect myself tax wise for 2009?

Just sold my house. I serve in the military and will be traveling to Germany. I will not have to buy a new home since the Uncle Sam will provide my housing for the next few years. I need guidance on how to protect/invest/tax help on what to do with over 100,000 I will make. I was smart to get a 15 year mortgage and make extra payments each year.

Buy gold and keep some in euros. Buy real estate in the USA, since it is majorly down. Get a 15 year mortgage and make extra payments on it. Rent the house out. Use the rent money for the mortgage. Good luck and thank you for your service!

You are going to be getting your 2008 taxes done shortly, so ask your accountant at that time. You don't want our advice, as we are not professionals and could lead you down the wrong road majorly. Speak to whomever handles your benefits in the military also. There should be some type of program in place for our military personnel in this situation, as there are many of you whom have had to face this situation.

If it is sold, but hasn't closed you could amend the contract to reflect a 1031 exchange. You will have to purchase real property at a price equal to or more than $100,000.00. However, you need to move fast as you have to identify the property to be purchased before you close on the sale of your home. Then you have (I think) 45 days to close on the purchase. A 1031 exchange does not avoid taxes, it just defers them. realtor.sailor

You should have been thinking about this before you put the sale together. Consult with your accountant IMMEDIATELY for guidance.

amazing that the other 4 posts are WRONG. Actually not that amazing . . . If you have lived in the home for 2 of the past 5 years, the first 250,000 profit (single) or 500,000 (married) is tax free. It's your money and you DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT FROM TAXES. Since you made "only" 100,000, you are ok. You don't have to buy another house or anything. I would talk with a tax accountant on the forms needed for this years taxes. As for where to put the money. Today, I would put it in a CD or money market account.

omg don't sell it!!! prolly ur grandma put thm in the closet bcos she didn't want anyone 2 touch it! gosh!! lol but in america u cant sell it if ur under 21! :))

Proceed carefully. Why? First, you cannot legally sell alcohol without a liquor license, even if its for hobby purposes in the U.S. (I'm assuming you're in the U.S.). Recently, a guy with a bunch of 100-year old Jack Daniels whiskey and bottles he was selling to collectors got arrested for selling liquor without a license. The antique bottles and booze were destroyed. So, you should hunt around on the internet (your best bet), looking for collectors of antique liquor BOTTLES. Meanwhile, take some good digital photos of your stash. Don't clean the bottles if they are dirty--you might damage them and reduce their value. Then, get lots of opinions--at least 6 to 10 or more. Most collectors enjoy talking about their hobby, so you shouldn't have any problem learning more about your bottles. In order to stay within the law, DO NOT offer to sell them. You could ask the vague question, "are they valuable?" Ask collectors where you can go to learn more about your bottles, and do some of your own research. Eventually, you will have learned quite a bit about your bottles, and if your collection is worth anything, a few collectors will have offered to buy your bottles even though you never mentioned it. If you know the collector is legit, you can sell them without the authorities getting involved. Some (unwise) people may be selling on eBay, but I don't recommend this, because again, you could get busted, and you could also get scammed. On the other hand, check eBay to see if anybody has anything similar to what you have. If they do, then try to contact them and ask about your collection. You should expect to spend about 6 months or more on this project, in order to protect your safety and to eventually get the best price.

As a dentist, you are usually self employed, so you would have to set your prices on what the market will pay for your services. l used to live in Spain, and there was an article in one of the papers, that was picked up from an Italian newpaper. At that time, about 7 yrs ago, it was reported that almost half the dentists there were not dentists at all, but people setting up an office, and doing dental work, and surgeries. Some of the culprits were plumbers and carpenters. Don't know if it is still the case, I would imagine that the government would have dealt with this issue.
