What's making you return? I moved back to Albania and have night terrors from time to time thinking that my family and I never made the move in the 1st place. Europe is in a league of its own especially compared to how rich Ireland is, and the states (especially Worcester) has gone down hill and fast. Everyone has different reasons for moving of course, but try to be a little more analytical

Wow. Just..... wow.

The OP is asking about the price of beer, mentioned that Worcester is on their short list for moving to, and you coming back with this judgemental, unsolicited opinion to an internet stranger is just a whole new level of wtf.

Who are you to tell anyone that one of the most major life changes they can do is a mistake?

Ireland has been my home for the past 18 years, but I am an American and America is home. My parents getting older and wanting to spend as much time with them is a driving factor. Plus, Ireland is a difficult country to get older in; everything takes so much effort! I want an easier life. Ireland is an expensive country, and the salaries don’t match the cost of living so there is very little money left over at the end of the month. And I miss baseball. And summer weather. And my kids (teenagers) want to experience American high school. So many more reasons. I’ll always have one foot in Ireland, but I am definitely ready for a move back.

Things aren't cheap there mate. Make your decision carefully

No, but most things are cheapER than Ireland. That’s why Albany and Springfield are in consideration because the cost of living is less than Worcester. I will factor in everything, but ultimately it comes down to where I can get the best job that will afford me the best quality of life.

My son would love that, but I don’t like Florida at all. I want/need to be in this area to be near enough to my mother (she lives in NW corner of Connecticut on MA border).

Why the he'll would anyone want to go to an American High School? They're basically prisons for teenagers.

I guess any school anywhere would be like that? It’s a new experience. My daughter is especially looking forward to no uniforms. And you think American high schools are like prisons? My kids have had over 10 years of Irish-Catholic education. Talk about imprisoning! And these are public, not private, schools they go to.
