I'd have to say, too, that of all the European countries, the UK is probably the closest to the US in terms of the "culture" you seem to be trying to avoid - get rich quick, easy credit, shop til you drop, etc.

But no matter where you go, you'll need some savings if only to get you started. You need to visit the place you're thinking of first - to see what the situation is on the ground and to determine if you think you could live there. There are some (considerable) costs to job hunting at distance (including making yourself available for face to face meetings), then the costs of applying for visas (usually between $100 and $500 per person in your family). In most countries, your 20 year old is considered an adult and will have to qualify for a visa on his or her own (i.e. job, schooling, etc.) and that visa may or may not be on terms similar to your own visas. And then there are the costs of moving a family overseas plus set-up costs in the new country.

Like fatbrit says, Canada or Australia may be better options for you unless you've traveled and know that you have an affinity for another radically different culture. But as an electrician, I suspect you're also looking at a certain amount of retraining in order to work in another country - different codes and regulations.

It's not impossible, but it's not something to jump into until you've explored all the angles.
