Let's do his sums shall we ? $20,000 saved in $1per day units will take 55 years to save ! No chance of buying a house there. Let's be generous and assume a $10,000 deposit saved at the rate of $5 per day. That'll take 5.5 years. Unfortunately the price will have increased by then. Graham > > > /BAH

Everybody dies. There is no such thing as a cure for everything. That isn't what I said. I said *die from a lack of health care* as in say die from some infection whilst still young, not die of old age. Clearly you know you have no 'answer' to that one. Graham
