Há quem vá com trabalho já garantido e há quem vá à aventura mas seja qual for o caso devemos ir com um fundo de maneio para os primeiros tempos nesta cidade que, como se sabe, é caríssima!
Mesmo quem vá com trabalho tem que ir com algum dinheiro pois os trabalhos são pagos ao fim da semana ou do mês...
Encontrei um site com óptimas dicas!
Por exemplo, eis um breve apanhado das coisas onde iremos certamente gastar dinheiro:
Initial Costs
There are
also some initial costs that will whittle your wallet
down fairly quickly if you don’t plan accordingly, especially when it comes to
setting up longer-term accommodation. Generally you should budget for the
following:
Accommodation
when you arrive: If you haven’t already organised accommodation for when you first arrive make
sure you have enough money for hostel or hotel accommodation (from £11 upwards
per night) or to give to mates who let you doss.
Bond and
first month’s rent: This will be your most significant outlay. When leasing a
flat or room in a flat-share bond can be up to 6 weeks rent and on top of that
you will probably have to pay up to a month’s rent in advance. This could be as
much as £1000 depending on the price of your rent.
Transport:
Flat and job hunting can take a lot of trekking across the city on Tubes and
buses. Make sure you have some cash for public transport or to purchase an
Oyster card, see Getting around the
UK.
Mobile
phone: If you’ve brought your mobile phone from home you still may need to buy
a SIM card or pay to have your phone ‘unlocked’ from your previous carrier. Avoid
phone contracts if possible and opt for pre-pay calling. Be sure to put aside
some cash to buy pre-paid top-ups; not being able to call back a potential
employer because you have no credit is not a good look!
Internet
access: You'll probably be using the Internet for job hunting, searching for
accommodation and making PC to Phone calls for staying in touch with
family and friends back home. Internet cafes charge from £1 an hour, but allow
plenty of cash for this as you'd be surprised how many hours you can rack up in
these places.
Clothing:
Hopefully you packed suitable clothes for the season you’re arriving in the UK
and if you found room in your suitcase or backpack, suitable clothing for job
interviews in your line of work. But, if sneakers won out over suits, make sure
you have some pounds in your budget for interview and work-wear.
Eating and
drinking: Your first few weeks are sure to be a blur of eating, drinking and
socialising. Eating out in London isn’t cheap so try not to have breakfast,
lunch and dinner (and those crisps with your pint) while out and about as it
will be more economical to buy groceries and prepare your own meals.
