Taxonomy upgrade extras:
So I finally got a figure on what my pension would be. Due to my 'young' >so not laughing< age of 34 they are retiring me, I would have about 545 euros a month. It's a very good thing that I'm a civil servant so that up's to 1236 euro a month conditionally >aka can't work or they take the supplement away and if I go over 5000 euro I lose the entire pension<.
It's a good pension if, and here comes the big 'but', I didn't have a mortgage of about 700 euro and still have to fix a lot of things in my house> for example only place with running water at the moment is the basement due to a little bit of cold last winter<
So I'm heading to the bank in december for a little brainstorm session on how I can, at least, keep the house. Why?? With being in the middle of renovation I can't sell it for what my mortgage is worth and I'd lose everything and be very deep in the red with no way out.

It's still survivable and
It's still survivable and that's part of the problem. At least I would be able to survive although living is another thing. But don't have mutch choice in the matter 'cause I'm not willing to gamble the lot of it. -> working of the record and getting caught means losing the entire amount. With working on the record I lose it only for the time I'm working (on a yearly basis) but that just means I need to find a job that pays enough to get over losing the amount. Which with my credentials isn't going to be that easy. Just a secundary eduction degree with a small business acountency certificate meaning I supposed to be all the day to day paperwork in a small to medium businesses without the need for an accountency specialist (although it's recommended for the end of the year bookings and taxes, just to check to see if I missed something).
But that was secondary school and with me not keeping up with changes for 15years ...
Was starting to rant, sorry.

PS
If I haven't had my dog and the cats I would have split a long time ago by getting my hands on a Ural Ranger 2WD and loading it up. 545 euro is enough to let me survive on the road even counting gasprices.
