Hi there.
Im 39 and in a sales job which im not enjoying at all and that has taken its toll on me over the years with several bouts of depression etc.
Im married with a 7 month old adorable baby girl.
This is where i stand at present.
main house - paid off and worth $860,000
holiday home - paid off and worth $2-3 million (its in the tropics so selling it may take a while but also i dont want to sell in this depressed market but realistically i could get "today" about $2 mill nett.
pension pot - $175,000
Cash / Investments - $1m USD mainly in cash at the moment.
What i would like to do is stop working in the sales job (salary is good) move to the tropics where overall life is cheaper and rent out my house which will be about $4000 before tax per month. I would get a job and my wife can also work out there and just take some pressure off and get me out of a job i cant stand anymore.
We live in London and currently spend about 120,000$ a year which is my salary. i estimate cost of living will be 80,000$ in the tropics.
Anybody done this, anybody have any thoughts on if i can just do it. Life is short and at the moment other than my family whom i love im not getting much pleasure out of living in the big city or the agressive sales job.
many thanks for reading my post..
