You only really need to make half the amount of what you make in the UK to live a better quality of life, says Nora Lukacs

In London, my children, aged eight and 10, had been going to what was initially a very good state school. We’re Hungarian, and they picked up English well. But after about two years, the quality declined significantly. As time went on, I realisedThere were more than 30 children to one class. When my eldest daughter joined year two, there was a teaching assistant in each class. By the time her sister started year two, they had one for three classes.
The international school that my children go to is great. Because the curriculum is British, they’re taught the same things they were learning in London, but with smaller classes of 15-20 pupils and more attentive teachers. The teachers are English, American, Irish and Scottish and they have around five or six Spanish lessons a week.Applying for the school was very easy. They didn’t have to do any tests; we just had to show their end-of-year reports and soon after, they were accepted.
We also realised that quite a few people are unhappy in the UK. They didn’t want – or have time – to maintain friendships. We wanted a wider social network, which was really hard to establish here. Every single time we came here before we moved, the atmosphere was so positive. We were different people when we were here; life moved much more slowly and people seemed to want to make connections.
