[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 720809, member: 39190"] Well, more money is more money and my own view is that it'd probably be a huge factor if not the biggest in most cases but like you said, the quota system (both official and unofficial), crime, politics and weak Rand are pushing factors for white South Africans while I can certainly see myself pulled by the lure of travel if the circumstances are right- and there are worse places than the south of France. I could even see myself moving off for a bit with my income at par if it meant broadening my horizons though I'd always come back to SA as long as my friends and family are here. Without them.. I could see myself moving off permanently despite how beautiful SA is everything considered. Particularly looking at the education system as is and the fact that I have my young'uns' futures to keep in mind... unequal opportunites, a weak currency, a poor public education system and violent crime... I could very easily see myself push off despite the ties and love I have for SA. Why not rugby players? Unmarried and without kids- why not have a romp abroad while you're not attached. Married with children- might moving be a better choice for your family? It's a tough one and I can't fault anyone's decisions either way if the opportunity resented tself. [/QUOTE]
