Taking kids out of school for a year to escape Brexit

[BrexitBusToAnywhere]

I have been reading the news and threads on here with increasing alarm. I have decided that I need to get out for the next year with the kids. I've got some savings and DH and I have talked about renting out our home.

We are in shock at what is happening here and neither of us want to stay. We've decided it is now time to go on the trip of a lifetime and travel with the kids. We are thinking of starting in NZ as several families we know have relocated there due to Brexit in the last two years.

I would be keen to have any advice or suggestions or issues we might face. Ds is 7 and dd is 9.

It sounds like your financial situation is better than most people’s, what with your house and being able to have at least one of you not work for a year.

I think you’ll be alright if you stay or if you go.

Personally we have no savings and are already living payday to payday, so I am very worried. I have a sister in New Zealand and wouldn’t want to live their either though.

We could move to NZ tomorrow. But you can those fucking earthquakes thanks very much. I'd rather be here with my tinned potatoes and a can opener to see off the looters.

Missing word...keep.

I do think you are panicking at the last minute and havnt thought this through how are you going to emigrate before brexit? If you want to move I think you need to research it properly look at the system , would you have enough points, job opportunities , how much housing costs , school options , cost of living ECT and don't just rush to get away. My cousin is currently in Australia but has been in New Zealand he did find it very expensive so worth checking out. He's working in Australia but had to also do so much work on the farms they record his hours ( I'M not sure if every one has to do this so also may be worth looking into this kind of thing I think it's a visa condition ? ). With the kids school you can take them out but it's not guaranteed you will get their space back are you ok with that ? Are you planning on then doing a year in school in New Zealand or home schooling ? Are your children ok with this is they can't get back to their school ? I don't think you can do this before brexit you have money and savings so if you think we will have problems I would stockpile and if you want to move them research it properly the last thing you want to do is rush such a huge decision and make a mistake
