Living abroad tips and hints for money savers

Hi Sam
Why don't you give it a try for just under six months. Rent out your homes here to make an income, and see how you feel out there? That would be my plan and as s-w-d says don't burn your boats.
Personally time flies when we are out there, and never seem to get done what we think we will.

Thanks for that. I think I will look into giving it a try and see where we get to. I guess the concern at the moment is while I do not want to burn any bridges in the UK (re: business and houses) I still need to try and manage the impact my move will have. (even if it is only for a few months of the year).

You have given me food for thought!

Thanks

Sam

Sorry, not up to date with prices here at the moment. All is quite well, but life's a bit hectic - not to mention very hot!!

We are now thinking that we should combine UK and Fuerte living more to try and get a better balance. Currently looking at how we can work it if we live one month Fuerte and one month UK sort of thing...as then I can still run the business etc
