It's not just the opportunity to earn some paper.
The missus and I have always maintained that it's not about the money. Tax-free money is great, but her initial offer came in about two weeks before it rained non-stop for nearly seven weeks.
That was a key decision-maker for me. I've had enough of this fucking dogshit weather.
Also, the only time I spent living abroad was six months in the alps pouring pints for groups of battered englishmen and yentzing toff birds.
Not really what you'd call "living".
I see it as the perfect opportunity to live and work abroad. I have no surviving grandparents, my parents are in good health and family-wise everything is as good as it gets.
Why the fuck not? For my line of work, this country's on its' knees so go to where it's stronger and reap the benefits.
#Immigrants FTW!
