Not really. My "income" is only a few hundred Euros a month (it is a loan at 6% interest). Tres exciting.
And she makes decent money, but that is in South Africa. Not much by American or European standards. So we save quite rigorously to allow travelling back and forth.
Have not decided yet. But probably in the US.
I imagine the bureaucracy being involved in such matters to be terrible. And as we do not share a same nationality, it might create a lot of issues with immigration and such.
Yesterday heard a story of a girl (17 years of age) who will be deported to Turkey because her father (who is Turkish) had paid a fee a bit too late 4 years ago. She was born and raised in the Netherlands, and does not even speak a word Turkish. But that is the Dutch Immigration Service. So you can imagine that I am far from optimistic about the Dutch system. As for the US and South Africa? Only time will tell.
