[quote=Anonymous]My BIL and SIL are foreign service and they have only lived in 3rd World places, too, specifically for the extra pay reasons you say. However, this just backfired on them in that for their next post they specifically requested a place that was developing (not 3rd world) because of the lower cost of living, cheap hired help, etc., but it was not where the State Dept thought my BIL should go and he didn't get it. He is now looking at going solo to Afghanistan for a year which I think is crazy. If your husband says that the 3rd world place is a better job for him, that might be something to pay attention to. Why does he say it is better? For his career or just more interesting to him? There seem to be a lot of politics at play with these postings so it might be worth it to just live with it for 3 years and the reward yourself somehow after that (my BIL and SIL were able to double the size of their house here with all the money they saved over the years).
