more things to do

Whoa. Thank goodness I decided to start researching auto insurance before we moved. I've learned that we'll need copies of our driving records from the New York State DMV. I had assumed (always a mistake!) that an Ontario insurance company could access that information themselves, but they cannot. Similar to credit ratings, there's an impenetrable international boundary.

So it looks like we have an unexpected errand this week! Further proof of why you cannot leave things to the last minute - because new stuff always comes up.

Wait, this means your credit is reset to zero, for good or bad?

I await the wave of bankruptcy refugees...

Yup, back to zero. In my case, it's a drag. I have excellent credit, and I have to start all over. No matter, though. I'll be spending plenty of money.

But there's a catch. You can't emigrate if you have debt. You have to show all your financial records, plus quite a bit of money in the bank. Something we never thought we'd be able to do. Yet here we are.
