I personally of course love France and the lifestyle is gives me. I am living proof that it is possible with hard work that a lifestyle away from what the U.K. has become
Yep just an opinion and each to their own
I have a property of over 500m squared and a hectare of gardens and my own river
This lot was £50k and I get the best weather in Europe at 304 days sunshine a year
Travelling from the U.K. to France every second Wed what I am doing now saves me 675 quid a month.
The most important thing to me however is not my lifestyle it’s my legacy I give to my three boys all of which can never get on the housing ladder ever as far as I can’t see
My countryside in the U.K. has been raped by stockbrokers all of which have done nothing clever apart from steal from the system
All things can change of course but we will cross that bridge when and if it comes
Until then I am going to enjoy it, I drive a great car and can even save money... that isn’t clever it’s just a way to adjust to what the U.K. has become because I have had to.
For me if it’s all weighed up then today for me it’s all points to a better lifestyle
The U.K. is not going to magically reinvent itself in the lifetimes left to most on this forum
France and any country has problems
I hope Ellers sells his French idea as he is nowhere equipped for it imo. It’s isnt right for everyone and it’s no biggy. Thankfully buying in France is not an investment in terms of money ... it’s an investment in other ways if that’s your choice.
Until things change I am going to enjoy the worlds best roads and transport in general
The sun of course that we all share and never seen in the U.K.
Tech is easy if that’s your thing and I cant afford to be in the U.K. it’s choked and slow.
Your calendar changes when you use a second home ... it works and pretty soon I have found the differences are massive.
The U.K. programs people to book a two week holiday once a year and often the truth is generates more stress and problems. I say have a holiday every two weeks only then can it really be understood and it is possible to do to beat the system
If the system is fine to people then great
But if you have doubts then do not hesitate I say find your paradise
Do you have any problem if I refer to you as “Mimi” in future...?
