Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Yeah the job is in the same place which is handy for travelling costs etc, it's also why I stayed there for so long because I knew the opportunity would come up. At the moment we're in the awkward phase where a couple of people that have been made redundant are working their last weeks before the new roles start.
Are you moving to Bordeaux or outside of the Uk?
Nothing worse than redundancy situations. I've been through a few of those in my career. I luckily never got made redundant but the atmosphere is never great.
We're not moving to Bordeaux but that's the easiest airport and the flights were cheap.
We're eventually moving to France. When and where exactly is still up in the air. Currently we're just checking things out.
Well, 'when' will hopefully be within the next two years. We originally had a five year plan but we're worried about the economic outlook and house prices possibly slumping once the UK leaves the EU.
On top of that both of us have had enough of the rat race. I'm not a fan of the industry I'm in and I'd like more time for life, the commute has got to me. We have several business ideas so we'll have a diverse income.
I know there's no such thing as a perfect country or a perfect economic situation but from what we know France is a good place with friendly people and we feel we can make ends meet well enough so we don't have to worry.
Then I'll at least have some time to hopefully do things I want. We'll there's always hope right? LOL!
