Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
I know this question seems odd but it really is related to expats 
I have a genuine Tiffany lamp that is 15 yrs old. Any idea how I can find out how much it is worth? I have NO idea. If it helps it cost $800 15 years ago. It will be one less thing to ship if I eventually manage to leave here. It is not an "original" such as those from the late 1800s, of course.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
I had a nice long chat with my half-sister in England today. She said that we (my two dogs and I) can stay with her until I get established. That's the biggest battle for me because she is the only relative I have left over there.
Finding work shouldn't be too difficult because I can turn my hand to a few different areas. In fact, she gave me some additional ideas I hadn't thought of.
Now I just have to find a job in the US in order to get there!

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Thank you, Mummy. It is a huge relief.
I have decided to take very little with me. Material things don't count in the scheme of things.
I am struggling to find a decent job here - with two business degrees / graphic designer / video editor / social media pro / top-notch promoter (music and art) / ex-college instructor! It's totally ridiculous. I would have more luck over there!
Somehow . . . we (my two dogs and I) are going home!

Ohh, I found out today that my half-sister's daughter married the brother of someone in Fleetwood Mac. She is divorced now, but still . . . Small world!
Small world!

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Windsong, if you have to find a job in USA in order to get back there, and you say you have more chance of finding work in UK, would you not be able to borrow some money from her or from some friends just for your airfare and the doggies fares and look for work in UK? Once you sell up a lot of your possessions you may find you can also raise the cash that way!

Moving to NYC is now out of the running due to cost.....$2500 for condo + utilities monthly. Sad but realistic. Closing still not assured but realtor is still hopeful prospective purchasers will get it sorted soon.
