One reason people move overseas is to be able to save money for their return. My parents had several friends who lived in Hong Kong or the Middle East for a few years and came back with sizeable house deposits.
But with costs of living in those places being near to London levels (if not higher), I wonder if people are actually able to save much money?
Salaries in London are now high compared to some places/sectors. Even with lower taxes overseas, dh’s sector (law) only seems to be worthwhile in more senior positions due to tax regimes.

Nope. I am in Scandinavia and my financial situation is about the same as it would be in the UK. I didn't move here for the money though.
