Hi, Imran here. In general I'd say yes but if you're considering to migrate there's a whole lot of things that come into play.

Your family, their respective ages and what they're currently doing.
Education, will you be seeking education and if so what kind (private) for your children.
Housing, could be half of what you guessed, location too is a key factor.

Good luck!
✌
