I think you&#x27;re underestimating the social cost of moving halfway around the world to a place where you aren&#x27;t familiar with the culture or language or people.<p>If you&#x27;re single and socially unattached, your proposition is viable. But you can&#x27;t readily expect someone&#x27;s SO and&#x2F;or children to be as willing to cut ties with their home. And if you have a solid group of friends, that&#x27;s a big thing to give up and to try and rebuild in a foreign land without the benefit of common language and culture.
