How many children do you have and what age are they? Must you send them to one of the American Schools or would you be happy with one of the International or British Schools ( much lower cost )? Do you need a 42 inch LCD TV and a brand new Toyota Landcruiser to be happy or could you settle for a 32 inch LCD and a Ford Exploder? Must you eat out every meal of the day or would one or two nights out per week suffice? Will you keep a home in the States without renting it out? 5 star vacations to Europe necessary or would camping in Oman be okay? These and many more questions like them will determine your ability to save money? No answer fits all people.
