Hello,

My family and I are international teachers living in Saudi Arabia (how about that Geo-Arbitrage!)

Love your blog

Nice. How do you like Saudi?

Saudi isn't too bad. (probably not as bad as you would think).  Since the only thing to do here is going to the mall (which we detest!) We can save 80-85% of our salaries.  We live on a secure compound and it is great for young children.  Very good during the accumulation phase.  We live on the east coast so Bahrain is only a 2-hour drive door-to-door to the hotel we go to.  It is also centrally located to Dubai and Istanbul (major hubs that can take us anywhere).  The biggest hassle with travel is that we can't fly to Qatar.

Expat life / Re: Anybody have experience with some of the "expat" life insurance companies?

We have Clements

https://www.clements.com/

Not sure what to say about it (since luckily we have never had to use it).  You can look at the benefits and see.  As we are not FI yet (both international teachers) we felt more comfortable getting insurance rather than not. (especially with a child)
