This is something I would want without any excessive renumeration. That we are going to be better off for taking it is great, but the perks outside of the cash in our pocket enticed me. Like my son being in an excellent private school with students from all over the world. Being in a different culture, having this education and experience will be great for him. The nice housing is great, but I have a home I love already. No maid quarters, but a wonderful garden(need any tomatoes?) and amazing weather. Do I want the experience of being more comfortable and paying off debt? YEAH, but I would still want to do this if I was absolutely rolling in money here. I have a sense of adventure that took me to NYC when I was 18 and knew no one there. My husband was formerly military and disappointed that his only foreign(ish) posting was Japan. So we are ready for this in every way.
Just to clarify. This isn't going to be a 300% increase. And my husband isn't low paid here in the States. He works for a great company with great benefits and all that already-this is a promotion and transfer, he already has a job. And we won't be rich, but we will probably not have to take and bake our pizza-so I am good with that!:)
Wow, didn't mean to start a controversy.
