If yes, where would you move to?
If no, why not?
I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

It’s getting worse but it’s still great
Maybe. Always wanted to see Ireland.
Maybe. I have been to a few countries outside of my own and wouldn’t want to live in any of them more than where I already do. I’ve also been to almost all 50 states (haven’t been to Alaska, Hawaii or Maine) and I havent wanted to live in any other than the one I already do.
I wanna check out Japan and the whole Scandinavian region. All those countries sound cool as fuck, but I’ve never been to 'em to know how they really are.
Move there? Not sure yet.
I would like to be able to visit and explore several other places before having to make the choice to move there.
No I think Colorado USA is maybe the best place in the world to live as long as a certain asshole isn’t elected president.
All my friends live here and so does my family and I have no intention of leaving them, they are too important to me.
honestly, I’m stuck between staying here, and moving to japan. on the one hand, weed… and in the other, a -very- predictable political situation…
stability, or drugs… the age old question :P
I fell in love with Colorado while passing through.
What I found very unsettling was how nice the people were. I don’t know if it is the hypoxia, the weed, or the quality of life but Colorado people are a different breed. The looming mountains on the front range and people act as if it is just normal confronting such savage beauty every day. I can’t wait to visit again.
I lived in CO for many years and I do miss many aspects about it. All that SPACE and the amazing views and outdoor activities to do. I may move back, some day.
I did 4 years ago. Moved to the US for work, so technically money wasn’t an issue because my relocation was paid for by my employer. Move to a different state though? Probably yes as well. I couldn’t choose where in the country I was moving to, so while it’s been generally fine, there are better places probably.
Would probably stay in the same state, maybe in the same city, but not in the same apartment.
Yes, to Finland.
Saw that one coming.
I’m in the process of finishing up my PhD in Italy and moving somewhere much less pleasant where pay is much better. So I guess it’s rather the opposite in my case: Had money not been an issue I would have stayed where I am.
No. I don’t like where I live (because it’s a big city) but I’m living near my family.
If not for that, I would probably be back in New Hampshire. I used to live there alone with a 100% work-from-home job and I would go weeks without speaking to another human being face-to-face. I left because it wasn’t great for my mental health but for some reason I still really want to go back.
In a heartbeat. I’d take almost anywhere in Europe with a proper democracy than the corrupt and authoritarian hole I’m in right.
I already did that. Here I am.
Honestly, I could probably afford to drop everything, rent a cheap-ish place and buy some basic furniture. A couple other things are stopping me, like the connections I have here, family and friends. In terms of a different country, citizenship isn’t always so easy to come by
Though if money is no object citizenships become much easier to get.
Absolutely. Ideally one of the Nordic model countries, but the issue there is more than just money, it’s linguistic and bureaucratic as well.
I think I have both your problems solved. If money isn’t an issue the bureaucracy is a nuisance but not inhibiting as you can pay someone to file all the appropriate paperwork. The language barrier is even easier. I have been to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland and did not meet a single person that didn’t fluently speak English. Not saying they don’t exist, but operating in most any western European country is very easy as an English speaker. Also you’ll pick up the language over time. Immersion is the best way to learn a language, or so I hear.
If literally everyone speaks fluent English (which is true), then you will not “pick up the language over time” by immersion. There are a ton of Anglo expats in Scandinavia and the Netherlands who do not speak the local language, for just this reason.
Hey, sounds perfect to me! Now if only I could make that “money isn’t an issue” thing a reality, I’d really be set!
But, for a country like Norway, I personally would like to continue to work as a Paramedic. That language barrier is a big deal. I’d need to pass a language test and then 3 medical exams in Norwegian.
Unless this post implies that I’d be so wealthy I don’t have to work after I relocate.
Same! And honestly, its looking like I should really put in some time to figure out what would need to happen for me to do so in a hurry. This country is…
Well, people need to vote. We should have a go fund me specifically for people who would to vote if not for their job/childcare etc. I know most people aren’t awful, but they don’t get out and vote and so I’m forced to worry about having to leave in a hurry.
Hah good username.
Thanks gancho!
And the cold dark winters 🥶☹️
Come to France instead !
