This Was The Moment I Was Dreading The Most

[@thedublinkitchen9680]

I wish you all the best Darren honestly. Loved the videos over the last number of years. We are the same age and we have forks in the road with life more than a few times. If this gives you happiness, go for it. life is too short. You have me tempted to do something different😀👍

DJ. You don’t need to explain yourself fair play to you.I moved from Coventry to LA and never looked back.I got a job as a janitor and cleaned up and now I’m head janitor in a boarding school.Set low expectations and start at the lowest you can go and you can only get better.Stay off the turps and don’t eat everything that moves and you will live long and prosper.

[@gazcallon8825]

Aye up mate, I'm 60, did a job I hated for 25 years! I've been retired on Ill health, I'm considering moving to Scotland, the Highlands, I love my village, but to live remotely in the Highlands is a wow factor! I couldn't do towns, I love peace. Remote is peace for me. Anyway good luck. 😊

[@HammersruleST]

In a similar position myself, only difference being I did my job for 35 years and now I am being medically retired… not sure yet how I feel about it either.. all the best in whatever you decide to do 👍🏻

[@charlesjay8818]

You did a job you hated for 25 years????? no wonder you ended up retiring with ill health lol Maybe 1-3 years into a job you hate you should have changed

[@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo]

Friend. My family had a sheep and cattle farm in the Highlands. Beautiful part of Scotland in the Trossachs. Google it👍 Judging from your opening words I guess you may be in Yorkshire. My Dad moved us to Wensleydale. I have been very fortunate in the countryside and very uncomfortable in cities. 👍

Don't listen to people Darren.....listen to your heart wishing you all the best

[@charlesjay8818]

What do you mean don't listen to people. Most mistakes people make is when they don't listen to advice. Yes listen to your heat but also listen to people's advice also. Alot of people have a huge amout of experience and can help you.

As always, a great analysis. Newcomers often wonder if it's too late to navigate the financial market, but the market is always unpredictable. Trading has more advantages than simply holding, so it's important to learn before diving in. Active trades are necessary to ride the market's waves. Thanks to Evelyn Infurna’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings, managed to grow a nest egg of around 127k to a decent 532k. Kudos to the journey ahead!

DJ, Chris and I wish you all the best. We’ve done the same twice, I’ve done it three times. “Picking up sticks” is scary and liberating in the same breath.

Go for it Darren nothing ventured nothing gained all the best mate Thailand has gained a top bloke 👌

[@josephoconnor9959]

I’m just one year younger than you and moved to NZ from Uk 5 years ago with my family. For the first year I had a gloom come over each morning as I arrived in the city for work. Felt really down which was unlike me. Only after that 1st year did I work out what it was. I missed my family and friends obviously, but actually it was home sickness for the all the familiar places I grew up and lived in - my home! I suspect that’s really common however old you are but you get through it and cone out the other side! Best of luck DJ - nothing ventured nothing gained. And whatever happens at least you’ll have tried it!

[@simonpayne54]

It is great to see you really happy and revitalised again. Follow your dreams and enjoy life.

Hi Darren… such a shame that your leaving the Uk, but I can totally understand why, your very brave for taking the chance and doing it, I admire you for doing so… Really hope all works out and you build a great life out there, will watch your updates with interest.. take care and all the very best to you ☺️👍🏻

Go and live your best life and just remember I've always home there if it doesn't work out. At least you can say ya gave it a shot. I'm sure all will go well though. Good luck mate. And I'm sure family would love to use it to visit and see a different part of the world

[@anthonylambert4523]

I've been watching you videos since the start mate.I left the UK in 1986 and have lived in Germany ever since.I loved seeing London (where I lived for a while) and all that great British grub. Leaving family can be hard when you move on to start a new life.I know I'm not as far away from mine as you will be from yours but still,the UK still is only a flight away ! I wish you all the very best for the future and I hope you hopes and dreams come true. Can't wait for all those Ex-Pat videos of you missing good Fish n Chips,fry ups and pie and mash..Been there,done that 😆

100% behind you Darren. I'll be out of South West London within the next 5 to 10 years, then headed to Thailand permanently and enjoy a single life. Simple really, I can live like a King out in Thailand, and struggle in London. I'm with ya fella, good luck 🙏

[@truebrit3578]

It is one of the most difficult things as a long distance expat is dealing with any family crisis. Someone gets sick, say in hospital back home, do you travel or not? Perhaps you will miss a loved one’s final moments, or struggle to get to a funeral. Then there’s the expense, traveling long distances at short notice can be very expensive. Now I am sure so e will say this is more negativity but it is something you need to set your own rules for. For who and what would your return and keep some money aside for it. I was in work in California when my mother died suddenly many years ago. In the evening I was on a flight back to London, at the firm’s expense as I was an expat. A retiree doesn’t have that benefit. Then for your family there is the reverse situation. If you are alone and get sick do they have the resources to come to you. Worth a conversation with them on that before you leave.

[@shubr66]

Ffs shut up

[@nev-dd9jq]

True, but you can't sacrifice your wellbeing and happiness every day, just to be closer to home when the inevitable happens.

[@truebrit3578]

@ you think expats are happy every day? Living overseas is often a lot of bureaucracy. Your bank back in the UK starts getting difficult, that great medical care you were sure you were going to get is a lot more expensive than you thought, your landlord because you are a foreigner jacks your rent up. Yes, you may prefer living overseas as I do, but it’s not just one big party. You also only look at it from the person who has left. They’re having a great time in Thailand. But then they’re in hospital and it’s not clear what the outcome is going to be. Then their family has to decide if they are going to spend thousands to go to see them at short notice? It’s not a reason not to go, but if you are close to your family, or have important elderly relatives it is a huge factor.

[@shubr66]

@@truebrit3578 omg look at the negative Nellie’s here . Live your life to the full , u only get one . For one thing most ex pats get plenty of blue sky and sun . It’s mostly old people who are negative and miserable , regretting things they never did . A life unfulfilled ! Darren should go for it , if he changes his mind he can always come back . Good luck to him and as for you enjoy the Labour government you voted for .

[@truebrit3578]

@@shubr66 Are you an expat? Thought not. I’ve been one for forty odd years working and retired. Most likely I have lived my life far more to the full than you in traveling the world. But this idea that being an expat is all fun and self fulfillment is as stupid as you seem to be. Hopefully DG likes being an expat but the reality is that clowns like you who think it is just a long holiday never last very long. I live overseas in a popular retirement spot. 80% don’t last a year. Incidentally how do I enjoy a Labour Government in South America? Clown.

Hi Darren. Watched you last few years as I love spicy curry aswell lol. I'm now 50 years old. Took my wife and then 7 year old boy out of our hometown Manchester to live in Spain. 2020 as soon as COVID restrictions would allow. I have always loved Spain and wanted better for my little family. I lived in an area of north Manchester which used to be good. It's now gone downhill and prices for everything have gone up as you know. The rent I paid then has more than doubled. Anyway here in Spain it's just great. Cheaper laid back better weather and I dont worry about my boy being beaten up or stabbed. Never feel bad. Dreams are there to be made. Lifestyle is everything. I work for myself. Wife has a great job and my son is now 11. Fluent in spanish. Good luck. It's only a step. 👍

I’m envious myself as I admit I haven’t got what it takes to change my life in that way, and I admire you for following your gut instinct. Like you say, holiday and living are two different things, and it’s the same everywhere (like you said in a previous video, you’ve lived in London for a very long time yet never been in the Tower of London).
