Early retirement?

Is that a graphical representation of a womans mind?

[Jog On]

Nope. All UK citizens should be annoyed at me for being such a cad and a bounder.

Sorry chaps

I think taking advantage of good rates in one country + how much that currency is worth elsewhere and pumping the money (via a Ltd) into investments in other parts of the world where it's worth 10x the amount is just plain rude..

But that's just me - it's disgusting, it's deplorable and and and... well done

No this is.








Clear?

Not an issue. If I was British with this plan to move to NZ I could see your point, but I am moving back to my home town, all my friends and family, old sports clubs etc etc. I know exactly what the area lacks and what it has, I spent 23 years living there.

I wont get bored.

Enjoy !

Tay - I was feeling a little envious until you mentioned NZ. I mean why move out to the middle of nowhere on a island that no one give a tulipe about!

Did you just describe Britain?

[wendigo100]

I reckon the costs are overstated, schooling = free, designer clothes = Primark or do a paper round, cars = walk, etc etc

That's what I thought - before we had 'em...

The cost of children is like Gordon's stealth taxes - you can't properly explain why, but you know you were much better off before.

Not sure yet ...at that age where she might suddenly get moody. And no she's very good with money.
Still as another poster has said, if you live in the right area schools-wise, kids just "might" not be that expensive.

I'd love to jump forward in time about 4 or 5 years - see where we're at.

Me and SAS will be laiden with kids and struggling to make ends meet, NZ will be under Muslim rule, contractors made obsolete by the new IR36 laws (in honour of Denny's return!) etc etc etc

Fortunately our houses will be worth an average of £2.5 million, so all's not lost

Good on ya Tay, well done. Did you mean to hang around for 12 years here or did it just end up happening that way?

I came here when I was 25 but not sure if I could make it to 35 though!

[Francko]

Are you not having kids SAS? Does MrsG not fancy any?

When inflated she fancies everything.

[DimPrawn]

SAS, she's not pregnant, merely over-inflated.
