Have your say on the rising cost of living abroad Post Office International Payments are compiling the Expat Index 2012, a report that will include details on household budgets and quality of life abroad. UK nationals living overseas, either full-time or part-time, are being asked to spare a few minutes to complete an online questionnaire. The poll is being hosted by popular directory ExpatForum.com. All completed questionnaires received by March 31 2012 will be entered into a prize draw and 10 winners will each receive £50-worth of vouchers to spend at Amazon.co.uk. Those willing to help further by providing additional anecdotal information for the report can tick the box on the final page of the survey and a member of the CBPR team who are compiling the Expat Index may contact you. Last year's Expat Index revealed that, while two thirds of people polled felt under pressure to balance their personal finances, 70 per cent of Brits abroad who responded to the survey regarded themselves as very happy with their new life. The Post Office poll also found that people from London and south-east England who may be most likely to emigrate - two-in-five (39 per cent) of the expats who responded to last year's poll are from this region, compared with just 13 per cent from the north of the country. Sarah Munro from Post Office International Payments said of the results: "Though the vast majority of people who relocated abroad are much happier in their adoptive countries, even just moving across the channel can feel like worlds apart from your old life in the UK."
