Collect your bags and go nowhere - venture carefree and financially disadvantageous. Of course, if you are in Moscow is waiting for an employer to move not so bad. If not, it is better still at the stage of preparation for the move to see current vacancies and send your resume to several companies.
When you are invited for an interview, come to Moscow for a few days - to have a conversation with a new employer and to estimate the cost estimate for the move. At this time you can stay in the budget at the hostel, or in anything not limit yourself and remove the apartment for a few days. And if you in Moscow have relatives or friends who do not mind a short time to make room for housing can be a decent save.
Make an estimate
Those who in Moscow have friends or acquaintances, at times simpler to-date information on the costs you will easily get a first-hand. Especially because now many use mobile applications According to the estimates of expenditure. And that means - the information is going to be not only fresh, but also very detailed.
If friends in Moscow yet, do not despair: a goal-oriented person like you, to be provided with them shortly after the move. In the meantime, explore the thematic forums.
A possible list of expenses:
- tickets to Moscow;
- temporary housing;
- the first installment for the apartment;
- household expenses (equipment, mobile communications and Internet);
- food, transportation;
- Financial security cushion for a rainy day.
One of the main items of expenditure when moving - rental housing. In order not to miscalculate with the choice of the apartment, the list of requirements it is better to make in advance.

To move, we have started to prepare for about six months. We realized that the prices in Moscow and any other city is very different, and gradually set aside money in case. Deferred money eventually useful: always useful to have the airbag.
We have compiled a list of possible expenses. It includes money for the return ticket on the transport of things, the first spending on household items, payment for an apartment, and about the same amount as in an apartment - in case of emergency. We moved in two flights on an airplane. On each flight on 4 suitcases, despite the fact that most of the things we sold and distributed to friends in Kazan. A plane ticket costing from 2.5 to 4 thousand + 1 for one thousand rubles for a suitcase.
As a result, the move turned out to be less than we expected. We were lucky that the owner of the apartment had left of his belongings - dishes, buckets, hair dryer - and allowed us to use it.
Determine the requirements for apartment
Wishes regarding housing at all different: some want to live only in the center, while others are not ready rent an apartment with carpets on the walls and repairing grandmother, the only criterion for third - suitable price. Before the move is necessary to understand what is important to you.
The area of the apartment
If you are moving you are not alone, but together with someone, we immediately think for workers and household needs of the person in addition to his own. For example, one of you will be working in the office on a standard schedule, and other freelancing at a convenient time for him. So, it is possible that sleep time may be different, and you need the space, so as not to interfere with each other. Suitable embodiments: large odnushka or dvushka.
furniture availability
At first, you can save well, removing the housing with a minimum set of furniture. It is cheaper to rent, in addition, you can then furnish the apartment according to your taste. If the budget is limited, it is better to look for sales or to see options for the ads services.
location
Consider the trajectory of your daily movements. Point A - the address of your work, the point B - conveniently located in relation to her accommodation. Focus on the proximity to the subway: comfortable, if not go more than 10 minutes before him.
The maximum allowable price
It all depends on your financial capabilities. Focus on your salary and be sure to take into account unforeseen expenses.
More profitable to move in the summer. First, long-term rental market, falling demand and falling prices, and secondly, you do not have to drive immediately with warm clothes, which will greatly reduce your luggage.
Rent an apartment - one of the main articles in moving costs. But it's not just the financial component. The new house should be such that you would like to go back there after work and invite friends to visit for the weekend. Among the hundreds of ads on Avito there appear such variant. And to reduce the time to search for help handy filters.
Reduce the costs of intermediaries
Today, the proposals from the owners is much less than that of Realtors. Property owners hope that the presence of a mediator will eliminate inadequate and unreliable tenants. But, as elsewhere, the quality of the realtor's job depends on its integrity.
If you do not want to have between your wallet and monthly expenditure for the lease came more and the amount of intermediary services (whose selection - a lottery), then try to do on their own.
You can choose to find the announcement of the delivery of housing, printed model contract of hiring of premises, ask the owner of the certificate of title registration or an extract from the Unified State Registry of real estate (USRRE) and formalize a deal.
Apartment or a room easier to search for ads on social networks, via "word of mouth" (all the same friends and friends of friends) or special services.
When you check sign the act of reception and transmission housing in duplicate and make an inventory of the property, which reflect defects in decoration and furniture. You can even take a picture of all the interior details. This saves you from having to prove the owner, that the sofa was broken more previous tenants.
If you pay rent in cash, each time asking the owner a receipt. It is necessary to later owners of apartments are not trying to catch you in that you do not pay on time or do not pay at all.

Many of our high school friends are now living in Moscow. They helped not only sort out the prices, but also to find the first housing. Sister friend at the time of our work moving moved to another city and not to leave an empty apartment, she decided to hand over her friend. These friends were we.
Take care of your health before moving
Metropolitan medicine - fun is not cheap, so it is best to check the health of before leaving. Survey for women and men differ, but there is a universal list, passing that, you're at least a year will save up your budget from Moscow prices:
- CBC + blood sugar;
- general urine analysis;
- Pelvic ultrasound;
- Abdominal ultrasound;
- ECG;
- a blood test for thyroid hormones;
- dentist consultation.
Men also recommended consulting a urologist, and women - a gynecologist and mammalogy.
Think about spending on food, transportation, spending money
we can calculate this part of the costs by analyzing the Moscow prices. But it should be added, just in case ratio: products can suddenly become more expensive and you will realize that sometimes you have to go home in a taxi instead of subway.
Most will place on food: immediately after the move you are unlikely to be time and energy to stand at the stove, and, therefore, will have to buy ready-made. And if in the short cooking or at the cafe next door - see for yourself.

After moving most of the money was spent on food, in second place - transport. As for life hacking, on what and how to save money, then we are the first time to give preference to domestic food and try not to go to the cafe. A taxi for two months, we drove only twice, and then only in extreme cases. First of all, by the way, I bought a map "Troika." And immediately issued a Moscow bank card, to avoid the fees for transferring money, because the transfer is necessary very much.
In general, we follow a minimalist and therefore do not feel particularly limited. Even before the move, we did not spend a lot of money on clothes, books and household items.
The most expensive in Moscow proved to leisure. We did not expect to see such a big difference in prices compared with Kazan. Cafes, cinemas and restaurants in the early days were very rare.
Prepare a financial safety cushion
At itself should have some money in case the unexpected happens: disease, problems with work, breaking an important technology. It should not be less than the amount that you're used to spend every month on life.
