Default Just a question??

Hi

Bumped into an old friend earlier today and got talking about the Oz move. We had a coffee and she asked me what we would do if we won the lottery. I replied that firstly we would have to buy a ticket but i think we would still go. If anything it would give us the security to come back if things went pear shaped.

Anyway just curious as to what you all think.

We would definately still go. Like you say it would give you that bit of security if things didn't work out and would also take a bit
of the pressure off with regard to finding a job etc.

We could also afford some of the massive mansions that we have seen on the net!!

Hi tracie,

Would we still go?

Too right we would and live it Large

Nice house, no money worries. Fly anywhere in the world at a whim, tour all of Oz, pay to fly the rellies over whenever they could make it.

Ah well back to reality

Nice thought though

Bill

People with real money here get out quick, the tax alone would make it a no. no .
The wealth to live anywhere in the world and you would live in a dead end says a lot.
PS Make a list of the people in the world with real weath and how many are refugees to Australia?
Even I am a Bastard Murdock became a Yank and bought his kids up there.
