Euro gigs

[Mich the Tester]

Not only that but avoid making a blanket assumption those counties using the euro have similar tax status. NET income will always different, depending on you and the country. If you're coming with family better, tax status can become even more favourable.

Indeed, how many subsidisables* does Old Hackdonald have?

That's indeed what I mean. I'd ship us all out, for the 3 years.

New farm fallen through has it?

You're giving Dim 'Boss the plane, the plane' Prawn a run for his money now.

No, oh dear, can you really not read?

The farm has been purchased, we've exchanged, but I was always going to contract for a few more years, 5 I think.

God MF, you really are as thick as pig tulip sometimes.

You'd do OK with all that lot; you'd be recieving child benefit, tax credits etc etc.

But if it's NATO it could be a lot longer than a couple of years.

Here in Germany, being the sole breadwinner, my net income is better than that which could be a achieved with a Ltd back home. On top of that the government gives you money just for keeping your sprogs in the country.

Really? Well, that does tip the balance somewhat. I think I have a bit of studying to do...

I said before, I reckon I have 5 years left in me, before I call it a day. We have the farm, mortgage free (from Aug 7th), and we need to pump up the investments, as we now have none to speak of. I wouldn't want the kids to spend more than a couple of years there, as we've always planned on living in Devon, and it's where they'll probably make long term friendships. So 2-5 years in a NATO role, if the money is good, sounds great.

I know a bloke (test manager) who started in a 6 monther at NATO about 7 years ago and he finished there last year; he decided to move on but he's 45 and reckons he could have stayed there until his pension.

I have a strict line in the sand that my wife and I have drawn, and that's 55. 6 years from now, but I will not be working by then. Regardless.
