I'm sick of this country, sick of my pointless life, hate everything that is here. I feel I work just to make other people money. Ok I have a roof over my head and food on my table but that doesn't make us happy here ... Just pack a bag and leave, possible? Not possible?

yes, the only real reason/excuse for not going wherever you like is family. other than that, why not? helps if you have some cash tucked away.

Exactly Dwd. Running away never solves anything as you always take with you the bloke who gives you all the problems.

Agreed, whereas his post at 10.51 is sexist crap.

It is possible especially if you have nothing to lose but you will need money to eat pretty soon.
All countries worth going to have strict immigration and employment rules so you had better have worthwhile skills to offer. You can get away with being an illegal immigrant making a living from temporary seasonal work for a while but it's no way to live long term. You have the right to live and work in any EU country but good jobs are as hard to come by as here and there are no easy options. You may have to learn a new language very quickly too. |

It may be best to look for or train for another job where you may feel more valued. e.g. in a small company.

You also need to alter your gait as people recognise this just as much as facial features

money is the currency of exchange all over the world
if you moved to Australia/USA you would have the same day to day worries as everyone else ,every country is a vicouis circle you maybe need to maybe find a more enjoyable/worthwhile job or happiness in your own skin if you can . Life is very competitive - i don't like that for one as i'm not a competitive person ,but it's the way it is you have to also be happy with modest arrangements - don't for example look at what you haven't got - look at what you have got and ignore everyone else if they try to put down your achievements,lifestyle (or lack of ) |

Me ? not really - i should be living in a tent and eating beans on toast every day . I can only be bothered with anything if it requires very minimal effort
no qualifications ,never did a stroke of homework ,no practical skills worth talking about ,cack handed, never had or ever will have a well paid job and generally lack any kind of motivation ,find it hard to focus on anything unless i'm really interested in the subject,I stumble out of bed late always after 10.30 and am a lousy timekeeper . On the other hand, i have managed somehow to buy my own house outright, earn a decent living doing very few hours nearly all my life and am generally a very contented person . I am always pleased for other people as well if they find success - i don't have an envious nature so maybe i am an over achiever in a weird sort of way . |

Top post from DoWah at 10:49.
Shalke 04, Of course it's possible to pack up and leave in search of a better more fulfilling life. But with a bit of imagination you can turn your life round from right where you are. I'm not sick of this Country. I love it. For all it's faults it's still a great place to live. For a lot of us, anyway. I work to make myself money. Hopefully my bosses are making money too so they can keep me in my present job, which I love! It's all about how you look at life really. I've always been a glass half full sort of person. In fact my glass is overflowing. I've had things very tough at times but I've always had a positive attitude to life. Having said all that, if you are in the position to be able to up sticks and leave, then give it a go. You can always come back to your old life if you don't like it  |

if that house you have bought is in london that you have done very well, considering the INSANE amount of money that a few bricks and water costs, people that CHOOSE to live in london are INSANE
|

By:
definately not London - and yes,i would welcome a house price correction - a house is a house and should be for living in and not an asset

In my life I've lived in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Always had good jobs and had a thoroughly great time but there is no place like home and I'm very happy to be back in South London. You can just upsticks but you need to do it for the right reasons and have financial and mental stability and preferably a devoted partner. If it's just escapism your after then plan a year off and travel the world but don't burn your bridges back here as your big odds on in my book to come back to your roots.

Of course. As long as you've got the money why not, what have you got to lose? |

I'm not at all keen on the motto "Don't work an hour more than you have to".
For many, this means they expect someone else will do their share of the work and this is the motto of a lazy, selfish b'stard! |

good luck to you schalke04 whatever you decide to do.if I could pass on a small piece of advice I was given many years ago. we are on this planet for a very short time and it is not a rehersal for something different. make the most of it and have no regrets in anything you do. sad to say it is easier said than done, but only you know what you want from life.

ca. 80 years = ca. 29,200 days - this is not a short time for most!

Schalke - DWD is correct.
You need to identify all the things that are doing your head in and just stop doing them. (job/relationships/social life etc) At the same time, identify all the things you like doing, and then do more of those things If you hate working for "the man", then pack it in and become self-employed. |

Many live much shorter lives than that conductor. My dad died at 49 ca. 20 years ago
He essentially smoked himself to death. He even carried on smoking after a heart bypass.  |

sorry to hear that stow-judge. hope all is well with you.

By:
It's a fact.
You are what you think. |

By:
I'm fine thanks conductor. My grandad (dad's father) lived until he was ca 87 and since I don't smoke, I hope I have a fair few years left!
