Hi guys,

My company requires me to move to Indonesia alone for a project for about 2 years. I have been working with this Japanese company for almost 10 years in Malaysia.
With my working wife and three small kids it is difficult for me to make this decision as lots of changes in our routine is required. My wife’s carrier as a doctor is also important and the kids are also so much attached to me.

On the other hand, the salary package is quite good to almost RM 30k/month.
Currently i have some properties/ savings and investments that can generate near to 10k in passive income every month.

I am 40 years old now. Im considering few options as below:

1. Make all adjustments & Just go and work as its difficult to get this earning opportunity again
2. Retire, take some rest, focus on family,figure out and venture into some new business
3. Take a carrier break. Look for other jobs later.

What’s your opinion?

I would consider a move to indonesia. I have relative also husband relocate to Indonesia

Friday night he take flight back and leave Sunday night

Infact I beleive this is okay since weekdays you don’t spend time with kid

Also they can come over for holidays etc

Only thing is your wife will be sole warrior with the family
