    I'm making the obvious move for someone now in their 40's living in London - Hastings.

    It's been on the cards for a long time, but the past year has given us the kick we needed to make it happen. I've agreed flexible working, so I can carry on in my job for as long as I need to, it will mean more commuting but ultimately reduced outgoings and more space and my Wife can change career.

    The last few years we've felt a bit stuck, needing to earn the same or more to basically tread water, we'd both like to do other things but in order to maintain ourselves can't afford to lose income.

    Eventually the plan is to work for myself, once we've got some savings together, something it's impossible to see how we can make work if we stay in London any longer.

  • Good choice, we’ve been here 3.5 years now and are very happy with the decision. I know of at least 3 other households close to coming here from London too!

  • Ah nice one, we've been kicking it down the road a bit for a few years tbh, but it became increasingly obvious it's where we want to be and we should just go for it.

    I love the place, and it's reassuring to hear you've settled there after the move.
