We know an Indian couple who did that in the 1980s. [work and save in USA/Belgium or other international sphere and spend in India]. There's a cost in that. Weddings, funerals, weekends and cultural norms are sadly missed. But money talks and it was worth it to us [I think]. But living outside the village leaves a hole in life. On the other hand, there are a lot of gains from the international experience. Over the years, I've asked people who grew up in the international sphere and about half of them loved it, the other half didn't. By the time children are over about 12 years old, it's time to head home, or face eternal exile of children. Our 4 children seem very happy with the moves [as adults and with hindsight]. Mqurice
