I define enough, as been enough to never work again but still enjoy one foreign holiday per year. points 2 and 3 can never be resolved though, thats a given

Short term: decide whether I want a job in Luxembourg

Medium term: get all my rubbish out of the spare room and re-decorate

Long term: buy a rental property as a step on the way to having some retirement income

Very long term: retire and travel around Europe in a camper van with a motorbike on the back and somewhere to stow cameras and dive kit inside. Hopefully without being too skint to enjoy it.


If I manage to meet a suitable girlie along the way that would be cool too.

Is there an echo in here?

Money is not the be all and end all. One of my big goals was to get my bike licence, that was probably the biggest one, apart from completing my degree. Now I'm working towards a bird ringing licence. I would love to take the bike abroad and do a bit of touring and as I've only visited the one place in Spain in my whole life I have a hell of a lot of exploring to do. Obviously I need brass to do that but it will come in good time, other priorities atm like giving my art career a boost.

Maria,get an LGV and drive all over the Continent,North Africa and Middle East at somebody else's expense. See the real country not the tourist spots. Takes a while to do them all and the only one I didn't drive in was Portugal.
Lets just say it was an interesting education
Obviously not a practical solution and it took me 35 years but I no longer have a lust for travel out of the UK.

I did the world travel thing when I was younger,and visited every continent bar Antarctica.Id like to do something similar again,but to different places.Going back somewhere usually leads to dissappointment.

Totally agree, can't understand peeps who go on holiday to the same place every time.

While I think it's morally repugnant to put HP sauce on paella, we have to make some allowances.
