I am thinking of doing a runner.
Hello,
New to the forum. You're going to think I am crazy but I feel like doing a runner back to the UK.
I have been in Canada for ten years, have a mortgage, some debt, my parents and brother live down the road but I am thinking 'bugger it' and disapearing basically.
It would take me years to pay down my debt and I am thirty years old so not getting any younger.
What do you reckon then?

Re: I am thinking of doing a runner.
Don't do it. The past will always catch up with you... I believe..even on an international level it can happen I am sure. Personally I think we have a responsibility to those who have lent us money. Settle your debts and then be off. My mate did a runner from his London flat. 5 years later a 56k GBP bill arrived on his doorstep. You may well find that you CAN do a runner to the UK and you WILL escape all responsibilty..but what if you cant? A being devil's advocate why should you try and escape all liabilty for what you chose to sign up for?
You're right plus my parents and brother would be heartbroken.

I would pay it back if I were you. It will make the rest of us who have lost one third of our super because of bad debts heaps better. :-)

FEAR = False evidence appearing real.
FEAR = **** everything and run.
Or,
FEAR = face everything and recover.
Yep, all handy little sayings i've picked up in therapy (Im slightly bonkers myself). I know the feeling of ****ing everything and running. It's not usually the answer.
Good luck.
