Not all of the Middle East.
In a nation where technology is respected, appreciated, and pursued, the pay is good. Major top-end software development goes on: in Israel.

Although same problems like wife and a kid had me grounded 'till now.
I'm thinking about spending a year or so just to see if it really worths it...

Our schools often have additional classes for non-English speakers to get up to speed and your kid will be speaking like a native in no time.

As in Glasgow?
Well £30K ($60K) seems to be about average for a software developer. A bit more if you are in a financial company.

As Colin say, it depends on where you are and in which sector.
£45k is not uncommon for a senior developer working in the engineering sector in the South East UK, but a financial sector position in London could well go for £70k or so (it would have corresponding higher pressure, of course!).
It really depends on what you're looking for. A quick search of http://www.jobserve.co.uk[^] should give you an idea of what's around.

To leave my life here it must be for more that £45k a year.
I think my base line is on £60k...
Maybe I'll try that in a short time.
Thanks!

For what I've read, it all comes down to:
How well/bad are programmers paid in your country compared to the average salary?
