A life for sale?

I've just read this at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7301680.stm

An Australian has decided to sell up on the internet auction site Ebay not just his belongings but his entire life.

Ian Usher says he wants to auction off not just everything he owns but his job too, in one life package.

The 44-year-old says he wants to raise funds for a life-changing adventure after his marriage broke down.

Mr Usher, who emigrated to western Australia from Britain six years ago, hopes that he will be able to raise more than $400,000 (£185,000).

He wants to leave Australia with just the money in one hand and his passport in the other, on the first plane out.

What do you think? Could YOU do it? Take a look at his website www.alifeforsale.com and post your views on our blog.

I know what he is going through. I went through a bad break up over a year ago. I left everything I owned to start a new life in a different state. It was the best thing I had ever done. I feel that his life beyond boarders may be just what he is looking for. His story is so sad. I feel so bad for him. I wish him the best.
