A move to Brunssum is possible, we just don't know if feasible. Salary is comparable to current income over 100k; would standard of living change? What would the quality of life be for our 13 yo DD, and our 18 yo DD who just graduated from HS. Should we consider educational choices outside the U.S.? Life is good now but might this be an opportunity to consider? Not sure what to do as we know zilch about life in the Netherlands. Even married to a Marine for 23 years outside of 2 years @ Guantanamo Bay Cuba, we have never lived outside of the US.

The people of Holland, live a different sort of life than we live in the US. They enjoy the simple things in life and are not very showy. You should do fine in Brunssum with @$100K USD per year.
Your children will most likely be slightly behind in school, as there secondary edcutation is very good.
I would suggest them move for a few years at least, you will never see the world the same after you have lived "Dutch."
