Expat Rich

This is an aside from my daily misadventures (don’t worry I still have plenty more).

What’s in a name and what do I mean by “Expat Rich.” I realize this is a cliché to say, but you really can write an entire book on the subject (I even read a book before I left about being an “expat wife” – including duties, responsibilities, etc…) Lets continue and see how brief I can be…

“Expat Rich”
Definition 1: Could be an individual, couple or family that is taken (thus “expatriated”) from their home country and placed in some foreign twilight zone, but given enough money and fringe benefits to never allow them to come back to the US and live in the same style or manor they have become accustomed too in the aforementioned twilight zone.
Definition 2: What Will and I are not (Will is what they call a “local hire” with a few added bennies.

I don’t want to bore you with the long list of possibilities that some companies come up with, but if you all are ever offered a “full expat package” take it and run!
