Re: Ive had enough, I want to go home :(
Same could be done if one lived east of Austin though commute would be horrible. West of Austin -- forget it, that's the Hill Country and no way could you get anything decent for that cost unless it had serious issues (1000 acre dump yard next door etc).

Re: Ive had enough, I want to go home :(
It just pains me to see people making a fast one over those who have scrimped and saved to afford a down payment/mortgage deposit on a property. Believe me, I have had it poor in Lancashire, living on Asda Smartprice food after I got divorced.
People everywhere do the best they can and in a perfect world I'd live in Gorleston, Norfolk or Weymouth, Dorset, but I'm a poor arse, lol.
I have spent 4 years in RSA, 4 years in Aussie and 3 years in USA, and spent time in Blighty. I think the Brits whether they stay at home or go overseas are a blooming treasure
Bless 'em all

Re: Ive had enough, I want to go home :(
I've lived where I didn't have running water for months, had to haul it from a brook and boil it. I've also lived where I had alternate heat or electricity but not both at the same time (Sarajevo). The charm of such rustic conditions soon wears thin.

I kind of like having a log fire....but I do feel like I've taken a step back in time having to have one to keep warm...and not just to look nice...
