Good news for Mrs GoS and me this week! [View all]

[GoneOffShore]

We are now full residents in France. Picked up our 10 year Titre de Sejour, which allows us to work here(Though we are retired). And we don't have to apply every year. This is a saving of $500 per year.

And the other good news is that in addition to my US Social Security, I will be receiving a UK pension. They also gave me all of last year in a lump sum! The amount per month isn't enormous, but it will cover at least three lunches out or a couple of cartons of wine. Found money is fun!

I lived and worked there in the 70s and hadn't thought about applying until a friend mentioned that I might be eligible.
