I think you misunderstood me brother. I am a Muslim and Islam teaches me to treat everyone equally. The only reason I mentioned I am British is because, generally if I move from UK then I have different levels of monetary commitments compared to people from other nationalities. Simple example would be to compare average mortgage rates in London vs. other countries.

If you also simply compare the current take home that myself and partner have as a household to be in London, and then compare it with similar type of work in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, etc, etc then you will realise for same work you get a lot more in UK (purely because of exchange rates difference). In reality it does not make a difference because you are spending it in UK as well.

So in my view, If my major outgoing and debts are in pounds, then I will not be selling myself short to uproot my family and social life in my home in London for same salary.

Hope it makes sense?
