druckmefunk I think your statement that:
" which will in turn allow me to take my family back home, which is where we all want to be."
probably says a lot more than you have in the rest of your post?

What rot! I have known dozens of families who have not felt it necessary to keep a house/flat going in the home country where the kids are educated, Mum may go back to pick them up and then take them back, that is an ID90% or a leave ticket, no where near the cost of a house, others have been taken care of by other relatives at home and put on/met from flights. Those families that have kept a house for their use in the UK, for example, usually have other reasons, like they don't have any long term plans to stay overseas anyway and if Mum stays with the kids Dad won't be tempted to stay overseas any longer than it takes to find another job.
Pity that in just about every post you make you only have a very negative point of view, obviously working overseas doesn't/didn't suit you?
