Reasons to emigrate

[EternalOptimist]

As a higher rate taxpayer for most of my life, and with a sober, healthy lifestyle, I have contributed huge amounts to the Exchequer without claiming anything back in terms of dole, housing benefit, NHS treatment etc. etc. etc.
I have probably single handedly supported several chav families.
I consider my debt closed.

I am not completely disagreeing with you. but..
its like a fish swimming in the sea, it's a big sea and there are lots of things we dont like out there. Start getting too cranky and removing all the bits you dont like and you will end up as a big fishy in a small tank

[EternalOptimist]

Well don't badmouth me for saying it's rubbish, when it is. It's all very well saying you've done your best, what you actually do is try to pretend that you have all the answers when you don't, and in many cases haven't even read the question, or thought about the implications (e.g. 10-year mortgage, cover that with renting out? Elementary blunder).

Don't take it personally, I don't either. It's just a bit of fun and I certainly wouldn't base my future on your suggestions.

so, what about the idea of roaming the world on travel visas, is that a goer ?

But I'm not removing the bits I don't like, I'm removing myself to another sea.

And the problem with that is?

firstly, I don't have and have never had a mortgage, so yes, you are correct I know very little about the subject hence the elementary mistake

2ndly, I am not pretending anything, just having fun and offering some ideas

3rdly, I read the questions and the answers, you also revealed more info as you went on, understanding French but not wanting to live there etc


so old timer, as you know everything, have seen everything, and have done everything, you got yourself into the situation where you might never get to stay in a 5* hotel, how do you plan to get yourself out of this situation ?


seems to me, typical of many in our blame culture, you have plenty of questions but very few answers or ideas for answers


your turn me ole fruit...

Well, you're partly right, I did come on here with questions but no answers. Better than just having answers to questions that nobody's asking

And I am old, but I am not a fruit.

[milanbenes]

Sas,

less of it

[milanbenes]

Tarkers,

before we try to solve the problem, we have to understand how we got into the problem.

Let's begin with who you can blame for your situation, who can you blame, who's fault is it ?

Milan.
