For a short time, we had the stay at home mom, whose family could live well on the husbands wages. That time is long gone, and real income for most Americans has remained flat for the last 30 years, while the upper 20% of earners have seen their incomes soar. Wonder how the US will survive the current crisis given that China now owns nearly all American debt. The next few years could be interesting. i know you're in OZ, but do you know if it's difficult for Americans to emigrate to NZ (or OZ, as well)? lee eyeing 709 hectacres in NZ) Dunno about EnZed. In Oz you are in if you bring either lots of $$$ or a vocational skill in demand. You are out if you are in poor health (we have approximately universal health care) or otherwise likely to be a drag on the public purse. Unless you are a refugee: do you come from a war zone or are you about to be garroted by a masked squad in the night? As for 700 hectares it's available in many places. You can get it for a reasonable price if you don't mind that it is mostly bush or the rainfall is rather low or a long way from anywhere, or all of the above. If you want good soil and water you will pay big bickies. If you want good soil and water near civilisation you will pay very big bickies. David |
