Default SHOULD i stay or should I GO?

Ok guy's and girls need some serious advice.
My brother moved out to cyprus 3 yrs ago and is doing realy well for his self he can do just about anything in diy where me on the other hand as soon as i touch it im in put myself in debt cause i always have to get someone in
He come home the weekend and has offered me and my wife and kids a chance to change our lives and go and work and live out there,which my wife likes the idea off but me im not to sure,AND THIS IS WHERE YOU'S ALL COME IN
ok so the first thing is my job- if i take this opportunity and it doesn't work ive then got to come back and find a job thats local to me and pays good wages,second is my kids education now when we visit him in the summer i was told if u put them in a cypriot school they dont get a lot off attention,so i would have to pay£2000 a year to put them in a private school,
SO NEED YOUR ADVICE
YES OR NO

Ive jus come back from there myself about 2 weeks ago and we went with a cypriut family that now lives over here. Now i have also looked at this as am always interested how other people live etc etc. However as far as i can see unless u leave this country with a fair bit of cash (ie 100grand plus) 2 set yourself up over there then it seems quite a poor country and the average wage is much much less than over here. Im personally not keen as could see that wen i got home that the grass was definatly greener over here (4 me anyway) but jus fookin cold lol. these are only my personal views and may be incorrect as only judged on what i was told by locals.

hope it all works out 4 ya tho mate

not being big headed but ive got more than 100k plus my 180k house but dont think i would sell the house just incase it didn't work out and i can come back,just in 2 minds at the moment,yes the standard of living is different with a lower wage but you dont have council tax,huge electric and gas bills etc,my brother pays £50 a year to have his rubbish cleared
if i do decide wont be till next year now,any body want to rent a 3 bed semi with garage lol

Go for it huni

Not many people get offered that sort of thing every day!
It seems that the main two things which your concerned about is,,,

1) your job here!!
You can and will always find another job, maybe not straight away IF you was to come back, however it wil happen

2) your childrens education!!
Not being funny, but if you main concern is about them not getting alot of attention, then is in not worth the £2k a year to see them better'd for the future

If you've got the money,,,then do it, it'll only ever stay in your mind otherwise,,,What IF,,If Only,,,,,,,see what I mean

Theres people in this world that would love to do this sort of thing,,,but don't have the money If you can,,,and you want to,,,,,,whats stopping you

Go for it
