Default What age were you when you immigrated?

Was speaking to one of my friends at the weekend and she was saying her sister in law was emigrating and how cos she was 40 she thought she was too old to move to a different country and settle at her age. Told my mate that at the meet up i went to in Glasgow i was one of the younger ones and that most folk in on the forum i go on are late 30s or early 40's..... Just interested in what age you emigrated at and do you think if you were younger would it have been easier or harder?

Hi

43 when moved to the Gold Coast. Best thing I ever did. Had a job within 2 weeks and a mortgage within a month. You are never to old.
