One to ponder!!!

We have been in that exact position about 2 years ago, my husband was offered a great relocation package to Hongkong or Singapore, after having discussed it with my son we all decided to stay here in the UK.

I think that what made us stay was the fact that the relocation was only for 6 years max and then we all have to go back here, it will just disrupt my sons studies and the hassle of letting our house and all that.

I also was unsure because of the medical aspects of it all, although his pay was higher if one of us ever gets sick, we have to pay for the costs of being in hospital.

Goodluck to you guys, hope u make the right choice for you family. God Bless.

I understand your situation. I always hoped that I might relocate one day so bought this house in anticipation because its easy to let. Actually, I was in London when i first hoped i could move abroad - the nearest I got to that was Leeds. Hmmn!

The schooling is a very important issue, although in our case we do not have to worry about that for quite some time. Hospital costs can be very high without adequate cover - i agree.

I think Singapore definitely no for us. Philippines we think would be a very wise decision for our long-term security and short to medium-term peace of mind.

I worked in Singapore for 6 months about 10 years ago, bit of a concrete jungle IMO. Clean but boring, was better in the 70's before LKY.
Phils would be great though, I just like Filipinos and the people like to have fun...

i think its a hard decision to make. one thing i will do if im on your position is the long term effect.

Good luck
