? Living there with Kids

12 years ago
My husband and I are trying to find a country to expat to from USA that will allow us to live rather cheaply while I finish my schooling. We have some family friends that are Sri Lankan and they suggested Sri Lanka for a place to go. We would be living there with our 3 kids, age 14, 6, and 3. We plan to homeschool unless the local school system is stellar.
1. Would our budget of about $3000/month US be enough?
2. Will it be a safe environment for our 3 kids?
3. Would we have trouble staying for the full 3 years I need? We understand it is likely we would need to leave the country every 6 months.
Mostly we are worried about the kids, safety, budget and visa requirements.
Thanks for your help!
