lots of great answers and lots of advice too, we all need that saving pot just so we can dip into that amount some months, i know there will be more then enough to manage in the phils or anywhere else we chose to be , but not in England,
Funny i do think i can live on that amount quit easy but then again i have never tried it yet, that is why i will make sure i have enough in saving and money coming in before we say bye to this country

Have you thought about where to keep your money steve to stop getting battered with tax and charges?. Obviously if you keep it in a bank here you will be charged for transfers.

well yes and no, but like anything it takes planning, just off the top of my head some income will be coming in each month so i will keep a bank account in england and a debit card with me, find somewhere where i will not be charged for with drawing the cash and make sure when we come to visit england a new credit card will be waiting each time, you never know it could happen
