Where is the balently inaccurate information
Costs for your wife and schooling for your kids will be 5X the costs as in the states.
you won't make as much money as you would in the states.
If he wants to eat out for dinner it would be more expensive than any city in the US. Fact and that includes NY or SFO.
Also you failed to metion in your calculations that EK only pays 90% after the first 10,000
Up to the limit of 32K primary and 50k secondary, so the shortfall I calculated is accurate.

Mensa, you might note it wasn't me calling anyone a name, but copped "Management stoge (sic)" and "Pope" for my trouble.

You've got it in one you say it suits some and not others, and I said as much up front. As such it is important that points for and against be properly and accuratly portrayed to try and help people make an informed decision. When someone flys into a rant reeling off stupid and inaccurate figures, however, I think it only fitting the record be set straight.
