You only get one shot at life. I'm about halfway through mine and want to make the second half better than the first. I also want to give my family a better life. Is that something to feel guilty about ? I think not.

I've managed to suffer less of the emotional blackmail by paying for my family to fly out for a few weeks - told them it was to help us get settled. Now they can't wait for us to go as they know are coming (albeit for a short while) too. Also, we only have to pay for two family members so that makes it an easier option
Also, we have set them up with web cams and msn and Skype.
And as you said, you only have one life so live it!
