Officially Unemployed Again

Freedom 30 Baby!

why?

They wouldn't approve my vacation request so I took it.



I had also had enough and wanted a change. So unlike most people, I didn't bother lining up a job before I quit. I'll start looking once I get back.

If you've got some money put away, nothing wrong with quitting before you have something lined up. I did that once; it was quite freeing.

ahh one of the benefits of socialized healthcare. You aren't forced to keep a job for fear of getting ill.

Nah, you have to pay for it. Medication isn't covered by health care.

Full price or is it like a deductible thing?

How much is like an antibiotic?

Not bad for common stuff. $30 goes a long way for the normal stuff. Different world for serious issues though. Wife's health care probably covers though, no?

Life's too short

I hear you.... I just signed up for those mortgage deals by myself which is a real pain in the butt sometimes. I'm jealous. What doesn't help is I let a financial advisor tell me how much to lump sum py so I could get a home equity line of credit... Worked hard, put it down, went back in... " oh... Actually those were last years numbers before he laws changed I made a mistake....." Thanks. Thanks.

Ya. You need 35% down. I found that out 2 weeks ago.

I don't discuss my mortgage with my financial advisor. That is what Mortgage brokers are for.

You could always try paying for socialised healthcare but its so badly run you need to pay for private insurance anyway.

Ughhhh, buying a house was one of the worst ordeals ever. And we're looking to do it again in a year or two.

I agree it is a bunch of paper work and meeting with a bunch of people that all want a piece of the action. But it's really not that bad.

Yes, but how much is it? In the states you can still buy more insurance than your employer provides (If your employer has insurance) and it's not exactly free.

Back of cigarette packet maths - about $6500 a year for each taxpayer to fund themselves and all the retirees/welfare claimants etc. to use the NHS.

Private healthcare usually runs from $1000 to about $5000 depending on what you opt for. Emergency treatment is all through the NHS, but everything else will be in private hospitals.
