I'll be over in the Netherlands for a minimum of 3 years. If I stay single, possible to extend to 6, if married, extend to 8.
Did some digging, and the base and surrounding area itself has absolute terrible public transportation. 30 minutes travel away (by car) and the transportation is wonderful.
Picking up a car of the lemon lot might not be a bad idea...the only issue is the base I am going to has 100 US personnel. It's all NATO instead. Closest base with a large US presence is over 1 and a half hours (by car) away.
Financial wise, once I get overseas, I have 0 housing payment anymore since the military pays 100% for my home.
Currently, I have the following for debts:
-Mortgage (117k): 775 a month
-Home window loan (7k): 165 a month
-Home water system loan (6k): 125 a month
-Auto loan (15k): 288 a month
The house selling here in a few days (pending appraisal) gives after closing costs and realtor/title fees 130k
I have 6k in a savings account
Mini is only worth 8k for private sale or 5k for trade in per KBB. needs about 4k in repairs to be shipped over seas per the company policy.
