Living Abroad on a Budget
Dreaming of living abroad? Think you can’t afford to move? We show you how to live abroad on a budget.
Published in: Expatriate Lifestyle - Thu, July 28, 2011
The British government has announced that it’s going to survey its people to find out whether they are happy or not. Apparently the findings will sit alongside GDP figures, and statisticians and politicians will then be able to work out whether people have a decent quality of life in the UK.
Meanwhile, the Office for National Statistics has revealed that 344,000 people moved abroad in the year to September 2010, and both Lloyds TSB and Skandia have revealed that wealthy Britons are particularly disaffected by the state of the UK at the moment, with up to 56% thinking about moving abroad.
So, whilst the government wonders whether the nation is happy, those who can will demonstrate with their feet and leave. But what about the rest of us…i.e., those of us who are not high net worth and who could end up living abroad on a budget, if indeed a relocation overseas is even possible? Well, the good news is, today we’re going to show you how moving and living abroad, even on a tight budget, is perfectly possible. Forget relying on the government and a happiness index to find out if you’re joyful – the only way to be happy is to live the life you want.
