Thanks BG. It really does sound fairly reasonable and we really do not want to isolate us and cut us off from earning an income. Sure we can live on what the govt gives us fine with having 6 kids but we cannot in good conscious live that way when we are both able bodied. It also sets a very poor example for our kids. Plus I want to get a good job so we can buy a home. I am trying to get a job already up there so the point may be moot, but I want to make sure I do it by the book and cover all bases.
