Would you relocate for someone, in a far away country with a life standard lower than yours? (66)

Depends what you mean by a lower standard of life?? If you mean all the material trappings and home comforts, I have no problem living without them. I don't necessarily need a TV, microwave, DVD player, etc. I would rather live in a shack with a fabulous view, say, than a palace without one! I would relish far more lovely things in their place, the countryside, the sea, nature. Not having much money wouldn't necessarily put me off.

Well most people here in Greece never marry before 30...It's not a custom and it has nothing to do with ethics either...I think because either they study, or because they want to have a job to settle down....I am not sure though....

yeah, i am packing right now.
I have never been to Greece, not sure it has a lower standard, but i imagine it is warmer and dryer and life is a lot slower and gentler.
yeah, i am on my way

Hello Dandelion
What I had in mind when I started this thread was mostly cultural differences, attitudes, manners and human behaviour,
along with living standards that you have to share with the local people, like going or driving in the streets, using public transportation,
go to a hospital when you may have to (I wish you never need that) etc.
Not to mention the situation you will face when you must work in the country where you relocated...

Exactly! It's the same, moving from one state to another within the USA. It's just a matter as to what are your reasons for relocating and whether or not you have the skills to learn to adjust to a new culture.

I'm making a lot of assumptions here, so sorry if I'm way off..
you seem like a well educated hi earner or even possibly early retired, private income, or possibly could get a decent job there!
So surely in that position your income in the new environment will be relative to the cost of living and put you in a higher life standard situation? Surely if you've met someone and have developed a relationship, you accepted her (or him) the way they were and for what they were and their environmental surroundings? I don't see a problem. Go for it.
