We made a "Moving To-Do List" to get ourselves organized for the move and make sure we are ready when November 1 rolls around. Here's the list...
1. Buy new cell phones from Sprint. (Sprint and AT&T and the best carriers in St. Croix and I need a smartphone to stay connected.)
2. Figure out how to get Drew out of his Verizon contract without paying the penalties. (Any ideas??)
3. Buy a laptop.
4. Secure a storage unit.
5. Sign Drew's care lease over to Nate (his brother).
6. Find a place to store my care.
7. Drew apply for a passport.
8. Drew register and take the GMAT (he wants to go to grad school when we get back)
9. Research banks in St. Croix and figure out how to transfer money from our current banks.
10. Contact credit card companies so they don't suspect fraud.
11. Set up auto-debit for all bills. (I still pay my bills manually)
12. Research private health insurance.
13. Cancel renter's insurance and Drew's car insurance.
14. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!! (Im working part-time at the hospital before be leave. Drew's trying to figure out a way to make extra money too! Any ideas??)
There it is...14 simple things before we can leave. I think we can manage it!!!
Couple of ideas, research online banks like Ally and ING Direct as they can be used anywhere, look into refurbished name brand laptops or quality off name brands like Acer for good deals, and maybe Drew could bartend a couple nights a week?
