Chill Chris the humour is on here for a reason we all know how blooming stressful the process is and like all people we like to lark about.

Without a little humour and talking about nonsense i know the stress might have done me in and im sure others have looked back and found it useful.

One thing i would do is due to the bleak outlook over the next few years at least worldwide make sure you factor in the exchnage rate being far worse than it is now and the amount you earn not being as great as you planned.

In the three years make sure you get your wifes citzenship sorted would be my advice but remeber this is going to cost i would estimate at least 2 thousands pounds with uk test, ilr and citzenship fees. These may rise higher by the time you get there we just don't know.

Possibly you could find work in a neighbouring country but i guess it depends on your skillset and experience.

Good luck to the two of you

I know love is no substitute for finance , but if our love is strong , then any hardship will be offset by the fact that we are together , while we build up the finances to get our dream put into action.
I dont want to be without her , and she feels the same for me.
