That's a little harsh, New Zealand is one of those places that really appeals as a decent place to live.

I think that's somewhat alarmist. Even the most pessimistic assessments over here in the UK seem to indicate around 18 months or so before things start to improve.

At the end of the day, we got ourselves into this mess (cheap credit, lenders not checking people could actually repay their debts, etc.), we have no-one to blame but ourselves.

As others have said, there are opportunities in the the current financial climate that wouldn't otherwise be available.
