Funny old world, isn't it? It sounds like you're at an inflection point in your life. You've got all your data, and now you just have to make a decision. From my perspective the better decision seems obvious, hence why I felt compelled to offer my unsolicited opinion.

It's funny that you mention you and your Wife are from ex-Soviet countries — maybe this is a stereotype, but in my personal experience the drive to excel and chase wealth seems to really take root in some ex-Soviet people or their children, even the ones who have nostalgia for socialism.

Maybe it's no more than the normal rate but the juxtaposition makes it stand out, though.

I wish you good luck in your decision!
