Dave, sorry to hear that you are feeling down, but sometimes you just have to let go and start again, find something that you can do to bring in a little. Only whilst you sort it, at least if the bills are getting paid you will feel better, you don't have to love it, just pay the bills. It's very hard to find something you like doing that someone will pay you for.

Me I am sitting around on a working holiday ATM, hubby working and my holidaying, at least until I get some reserve days funded here in the USA, through Aust Air Force. I am gainfully underemployed atm, still have some days from back in Oz that I am working with remotely, but not working too hard.

Our house back in Oz has been vacant since we left, but hopefully this week we might have a tenant moving in, so at least the mortgage will pay for itself, and that is a load of our wallet, paying for the house here, the biggest midgets apartment and our vacant house was starting to eat into the future cars (dreaming) budget. Would like to take a lovely older mustang home to Oz, and maybe a nice old Porsche to add to the growing family of German cars at home.

If we own a car for 12 months here (less than 30 years old) there is no import duty applicable, 30 year old cars don't atract du anyway. The rumour mill says that the 2014 mustang will be able to be ordered rhd first time every direct from the factory. If the house is rented I can start dreaming anyway!
