One thing we noticed was that the benefit package is not as good as what we have over here. As such Lenore had her eyes lasered, we had Breana's wisdom teeth removed, I had fillings replaced and crowns put in .... There is no dental plan in our package. Any elective surgery I would get done before I left. I have no idea what the general quality of health care over there. I am sure if you are the Emir the care is probably pretty good.
We opened an offshore account where we hope to deposit Lenore's paycheck. That should be enough to cover our pension payments. The school contributes 8% of my salary to pension but that is significantly less than what my contributions were at the school district.
As well, we had to pay out our kids RESPs. You can't make contribtions while you are overseas, so we had to pay them out in full before we left. Fortunately our kids are older and we only had another couple years of contributions left.
