That would in fact be my prefered solution. As I really do like the house and the location I currently live in, and it could be quite hard finding something similar again - it'd have to be the same neighourhood/road for sure if I were in the situation of buying again (in this area). Selling up altogether would to me feel like burning bridges in way, something I'd not want to do at this present stage in my life. I'd rather go off around the world and discover that what I have already isn't worth swapping for, but I feel I need to make that mistake first - but yet still have a revert everything back to how it was clause.

Hi Robs - already been looking into and investigating possibilities along those lines. Maybe see you over there!

Hi Lee. I appreciate what you're saying mate, and I do realise how I lucky I am with regard to the house and all that. The job isn't the only issue for me, it's just the extra thinking time I've had of late has made me think more and more about all the other possibilites and opporunties I could be looking into out there. All I will say is that it's easy to look at someone else and think how lucky they are when we see things that we haven't got ourselves, but money can't buy everything and not many people truly have *everything* they really want going for them all the time. I know for sure that money doesn't make me happy, although I do feel that I'm content as far as material possessions are concerned and don't feel the need to have much more money than I already have. Am I talking gibberish are do you get my drift?

I can identify with so much of what you just said there Ju. The eroding of the "jobs for life" mentality has a lot of things to answer for in the now more insecure world of work, as well as lifestyle choices which have to be made to fit in with therein.

I reckon the clue is in the old saying that "those that can (or who actually have the motivatation to do more than just open their mouths and give non stop opinions all day ) do, and those that can't (just) talk (about it)"!
