I'm sorry but you are paralyzed by fear of moving to the NETHERLANDS? Dijibouti, ok maybe, but the NETHERLANDS?!

Eat gouffres everyday and then go for the free health care. I think you'll be fine.

Again lightstays, where is the "like" button? I must meet you some day. You are funny! Which I find refreshing on this forum. It helps me slog through the insults these children can't help but sling at each other.

I am mostly sure we will go. I have my husband asking now about our son who has needs. After we hear back from the school regarding our son, we should be able to sign a contract.

Of course my fear is about the future. We are older, husband is IT not teaching and we will be looking at retirement in 20 years. Will we be ok?

If we come back, because of our rural mountain location, there will be no jobs. Of course I should be nervous and concerned, this is big.

Heck, if it all hits the shitter we can go to the middle east, get an IT job, save $40K in two years and then go back to being in a place we love.

You have all be so very kind and my family appreciate the support and you sharing your experiences.

You will be fine. It will be a delight compared to our sinking ship of a country. You will pay a load of taxes but it will be worth it. As you say, if things hit the shitter, there are always other options. Nothing is permanent.
