Working overseas has it's advantages and disadvantages. It's advantageous because in some countries you are exclude from paying taxes in your own country. Imagine how much you can save for taxes each year. I miss that actually because when hubby was stationed overseas, we did not pay taxes at all. Our friend just came back from other country after living there for 20 years and he said that even if he is spending lavishly with his salary, he still managed to save at least 3 grand each month. How awesome is that. So when he came back here, he has a lot of cash stashed in his bank. He bought a house in cash, that's a lot of savings from paying interest if you will get a loan right? Being overseas is also disadvantageous because you are far from your friends and family. But I think that the disadvantages outweighed that part.
He is planning to put up a business and he said that he would need to get a job first so he could qualify for business grants. He did not want to spend all his money into it because part of it was his daughter's educational fun. Good thing there are web site like Business Grants that provides great tool to help entrepreneurs and business owners find and apply for legit small business grant opportunities.
