My family and I are trying so hard to get out to oz. we are finding its a lot of money to find when you have bills an children to support. How did every one do it Iam beginning to think at this rate we will never get out there.

TDK43 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 We saved, and have had the proceeds from selling our house, and a car. I agree though it is expensive to emmigrate! Totted up on another thread how much wemhave spent, and it scared me! Good Luck, Donna x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 For us, it was the sale of the house that funded our migration and some savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I agree. It is so difficult. For us it has been trying to sell what we can but thats not working out either really. Tried selling my car privately hoping for about £5,000 but who these days has that in their back pocket so we have put it to a local garage where he has agreed to do a sale or return (if not it looks like buymycar do.com) robdogs. We also have the house on the market but nothing doing there either. Next step we did was going to the bank to extend our mortage in terms of years. That made me want to weep cos we only had four years left on the mortgage and now we have 15 (hubby said it looked like i was doing the death march on the day) but we did this so we could rent it out if need be and still hopefully have a little bit extra to cover any mishaps etc. All in all on paper we are doing the wrong thing. We could wait 4 years and have plenty of dosh for hols, ickle extras etc but thats just not us. Looking back on our marriage (18 yrs) what we remember as being our happiest times have been when weve thought SOD IT, weve got some money lets go and have an adventure. Only you will know if its worth it.For us we will carry on going without for a while longer to see if we can get there. For us it is worth it.

JAK Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 We haven't been able to sell our house so will be renting it out. We have a caravan and 2 cars to sell, plus we have money that my dad left me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
