Hmmm, I think we better get back to the original point.

I guess I've expanded it from 'sufficient funds' to 'be aware of possible pitfalls one might encounter in a new job abroad.'

List so far:

Incomprehensible housing contracts (can lead to untimely expulsion from domicile).

Temptation to over-party and under-prepare-and-work.

Temptation to get too friendly with students (not quite so tongue-in-cheek as it might sound - can be a MAJOR pitfall).

Should we leave our esteemed OP alone and start a new thread to describe the situations we think newbies would be wise to avoid?? That could be quite interesting, especially if we can categorise it by regions.
