[quote=Anonymous]Long story short, DH has been a foreign language teacher for over 10 years.

Sibling of his got a teaching job (English teacher) in Asia, with a lot of perks I could’ve never imagined:

-Healthcare in and out of country of employment
-yearly flight covered by employer back to their country of choice
-3 bedroom/2bathroom paid for by employer
-low prices for purchasing tech (think of Apple and the likes)
-children study for free at international school but receiving exposure to local culture and language

In USD sibling is bringing after taxes approximately $45K. Can easily save $2000 monthly if living rather frugal but doesn’t have any necessities per se.

Consequently, I asked DH to submit out of curiosity some applications in China, Dubai, Spain, Ireland, and England.

I was shocked to see some interview requests come in a mere 48 hours later (this was summer 2025). Recently, two (different schools in different countries) have asked for a second interview planning for 26-27 year.

Never thought about it but seriously considering the experience of a 2-3 year contract, save money we can’t save here in our American dream lifestyle, and return to drop that money in a house we could never afford at this rate.

Am I crazy or delusional? [/quote]
