I guess it gets down to weighing up whether or not you want extra pay to live in a sandpit, hot unbearable summers, living in a complete different social society and the chance if you move there, it may break up your marriage, and if thats the case, then spending the rest of your time living away from your family and friends wherever that may be?
Or living in one of the best countries in the world, best living standards, a stones throw from your family and friends, bearable summers, live sport, but working for a stupid company.
I know what I'd rather not look back on approaching retirmement age and be thinking, "sh!t I've spent the last (x) amount of years here, I no longer know my friends back home, and my kids dont know me, let alone not having witnessed them grow up. Unfortunatley money talks for some.........
