My Fiance and I are thinking of moving to France to change our way of life, we have visited the Dordogne many times and love the slow pace and tranquility that abounds (as opposed to the rat race here in Manchester!). We are going to buy a Gite complex and run it as a hobby which will hopefully provide a little income but we are not bothered about it being the main source of income. My main question is this, would my fiance and I be able to have a good standard of living if our guaranteed income (before any gite income) was circa 60,000 Sterling before tax, (bearing in mind that we would have bought the gite complex outright so would not have any mortgage). Any advise genuinely appreciated! Cheers in advance Chris and Alli.
