Irazbal-Zurita, PhD, Director of the Latina/Latino Studies Program and Professor of Planning at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, told WalletHub about the worst thing people do when relocating.The biggest mistake people make when planning a move to a new place is mis-estimating the relationship between sources of income that are going to be available in t he new setting and the cost of living, she told the site. If income is insufficient, people can incur in debt and the situation will eventually become unsustainable. People may be forced to have more than one job, potentially compromising their quality of life and health. Negatively, people may face financial default or house eviction, from which it is hard to recover.
