Default Fort Worth

Hello,

I need advice please..... We are currently living in Australia but can not settle at all... (1.) Too far away from the UK ( 2.) Wages not good, just about make ends meet

We may have an opportunity to move the Fort Worth Xmas time this year... Partner could earn around $75.00 per hour...... Can anyone please advice on the cost of living. rental accommodation, Fort Worth... etc

Any Info... Pros and Cons......

All i know is that Oz is too far from UK, Miss friends and Family too much.. Not ready to return home just yet but just to be able to afford too is a bonus...

Thanks

Short answer...
You will be earning more, but still far away from the UK - it really is that simple.
What's the real issue for you in Oz, the cash or the distance from the UK ??

Not to mention the joys of actually sorting out the visa for self and family, really depends if it is a company transfer or not...

Hi, Its the distance...... 9 hours is nothing.... we've got a house in Tobago and USED to go there for a weeks holiday at a time...Also Tobago is more accessable.....The Cost to go back from here is approx $ 1700.00 Ozzie dollars... will take a year to save up for a holiday... exchange rate isn't that good either.....

Trust me - there ain't much difference between 9 hours and 17 hours - you still won't be making the trip every week.
