Even including everything (linens, appliances, etc), 1800 is more than enough for a VERY nice flat, for a single person, in most European capitals. 3300... even in central London, will give you a very good flat. <br /> <br />I understand that the older we are, the less we want short-term, unpredictable jobs. But for example, my father - who will be 60 next year - still prefers to work that way, because in the end he makes more money. He is a welder. <br /> <br />If you're a good professional, with a lot of experience, in your mid 40s... well, looking from afar, either you should start your own business, or try to freelance and be paid a little better, closer to home. I'd NEVER move across the country, leaving my family behind and saving close to nothing, just for some added "security". <br /> <br />But yeah - its always easy to talk about what other people should do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36307237.post-33771460610954342732009-08-12T03:26:26.933-04:002009-08-12T03:26:26.933-04:00Tani - cant find you on FB.

Apartment is furnished, including linens, towels, pots, pans and dishes, everything. I only needed to bring my clothes. Normal price is $3,300. I’ve not rented an apartment in years, but, I believe the same in Indiana (Indianapolis) would go for $2,000, maybe a little less.<br /> <br />Barely. Not saving much, if any.<br /> <br />No. I’m an official employee now. Maybe I could (freelance) but being in my mid 40’s I like the security of actually working for a company. We (in the states) have ‘temp agencies’ (temporary agencies) that will help you find ‘contract’ work that can be short time (less that 6 months) or long term (up to 2 years). If I was younger and had less responsibilities, yea, sure. But not at this juncture in my life.DNRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10646770988468877338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36307237.post-39139158192015905542009-08-10T11:06:56.101-04:002009-08-10T11:06:56.101-04:00I'm wondering if you have been at Sturges??

And how much would a similar flat cost in your hometown, in Indiana? <br /> <br />Your current job pays enough for all your expenses there, plus your tickets home, plus saving some? <br /> <br />You're still under some kind of short-term contract, right? But cant you work as a freelancer? Here (Europe) its pretty common, you just pass receipts for the money you get, no contract whatsoever. Do you have that there, and if so, why not try it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36307237.post-48104272380035695502009-06-24T18:53:16.119-04:002009-06-24T18:53:16.119-04:00hi there, found my way back, albeit briefly, and f...hi there, found my way back, albeit briefly, and find you in LA!!
