Looks like God is shining on his choosen people (them trying to get out of here) and the rubber dollar is regaining ground against the pound .
We are still out of pocket because it was 2-1 when we jumped over cliff but nice to see its steady move up .
This may alter the balance for a few , so my enquiry is at what exchange rate would the land of penty start to look less like the land of milk and honey?
Before the lifestyle crew set sail on a sea of broken dreams , may I just say this post is an attemp to see what value is put on exchange rates above immigration.

If you went in the bank to change up your mattress-full of savings and they asked if you had brought your wheelbarrow, it would have to be time to start thinking about it.

So the money changers should be thrown out the temple as JC said a long time ago?

Thought I'd get in with a straight answer to good question before the presence of your name forces this thread off the rails
![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I know that this sounds like pretentious cr*p but the 'better lifestyle/streets paved with gold' thing has never been a motivator for me. I ain't in it for the money (one less thing for me to be disapointed about eh?).
But I suppose that there is a point where I would have to question the economic viability of a move but that's a long way away - I guess if I wasn't in a position to buy a place that was at least as good as we have at the moment I might pause to reconsider but, in Adelaide, although I haven't done the sums it would be below 2 - 1.
Cheers
Perry
