Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your replies, honest! I dont mind honest and straight to the point.
We need a few months to prepare the house for sale, lots of jobs undone!!! Married to a tradesman and nothing done in his own house. Also lawn and kerbing need to be done. This involves money and time. I am presently doing up a list. (Big luxury house on big site,
In regards to Australia, yes I have considered, what if he does this in Oz, though he assures me he has learn his lesson. However, I have control of the finances now, and wont be letting go again.
We have lived in Oz before and have been in contact with his old boss who has work for him if we can get a visa and YES I have heard they are thinking of cutting the amount of visas issued.
We both had great jobs in Oz and I never really settled back in Ireland. This financial stress on top of getting MRSA in one of our dirty hospitals and nearly dying has made me rethink my life.
I just want my husband to realise that our financial problems are due to his mismanagement of his business. He keeps saying, when we get to Oz, we will get a smaller house so we can afford to do things. I keep saying, we have an average mortgage, we are struggling because of your business dear!! (If he doesnt acknowledge it, Im afraid he wont have learnt).
He is very good at what he does and works all hours, but that is NO good if you are not getting paid for it. He has worked the last 28 days on the trot, but is now waiting for payment (private work not job).
Fingers crossed that the house will sell, we get the visa and that I get him a job where he gets paid on a friday. Self employment is no fun. We had a customer bounce a cheque for 10000 a few months ago, and I was a nervous wreak.
I have been checking similar houses and what the asking price is, but will get a better idea from the estate agent.
Thank you so much for your advice everyone.
Im a saver, Ive worked since I was 15 and at times worked 2 jobs. Ive had shares in companies and SSIA's and now see it all disappear. My husband will have to start demonstrating a real change.
Regards
