same difference. i need to be paid the same, otherwise i can't afford working for you.

and i decidedly disagree that cheaper living isn't always worse. it is. that was the whole point of my post. traveling to visit family, sending my kids to a school with european standards, getting insurance for european quality medical care, all are expensive no matter where i go.

i have lived on 4 continents in dozens of countries. i have yet to find a place where a high standard of living was cheaper.

cheaper living always required trade-offs.
