If money was not an issue, would you move to an entirely different state or country?
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.
I’d love to leave the US. It’s truly a steaming shitshow and I don’t see it improving anytime soon. I’d be interested in checking out Belgium or Luxembourg, or maybe Norway. However, my parents and in-laws are aging and it wouldn’t be right to leave them knowing they’re going to need increased help over the next 10-15 years. So we’re staying put for now.
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.
I’d travel by land. Possibly with a bicycle, if foldable, cause I like to walk on foot too.
Not alone, I think, and with radio (other things aside, catching cold or getting food poisoning in the middle of nowhere can result in death, and of course more extreme things like breaking a bone).
Not intentionally in some wilderness.
EDIT: Why the downvotes, I think nomadic lifestyle is one way to answer this question.
I dont know where I’d move to, cause I’m a broke poor and find it depressing to focus on unachievable details, but if my bank account had 9 zeros added to the end of it tomorrow? I’d find some place, spend a year or two hiring tutors for language and manners, then move the fuck there.
Yes. My wife has dual citizenship. We joked about it at first, but now it’s no longer funny with all the crazy shit going on in the US. And our state is becoming massively overpopulated thanks to the horrible economy. The only real thing keeping us back is family but it seems like we’re all so busy I never see them anyway.
Probably wouldn’t hesitate as long as I knew I could occasionally return to visit. Was in the military and stationed over seas. Would love to live in Germany again, have a friend that lives in Netherlands and frankly looks like a great place to live. Another friend lives on the coast in Japan and is raising a family there. Would if I could but lack the income to make it viable.
If money was no object I’d move a lot of other people out of my current state and I’d stay here. Geography and climate are fine for me, but there’s too many fucking Republicans. Money no object, every last one would be relocated to a holding urn in low orbit of Venus.
Where I live in germany there is a saying: “Anderswo is auch scheiße”. Literally translates to “Other places are also shit”. So I’m currently not considering moving into another country. Though I often ask myself, what I would do if germany goes the nazi route again. The AfD is real scum.
Hahaha, I feel that quote a lot myself. Always see a bunch of rich kids saying they’re going to leave the US, shit hole of a country, and out of their million dollar home and rich parents. I’d still love to travel since other places are a different flavour of shit, to break up the monotony, but I don’t think I’d leave the US. Not until something bad happens (which may or may not be after 2025)
I live in New Delhi and if money wasn’t an issue I’d move along with my close friends to Devon or something like that where we’d have our local pub and eat all the beef we want and not see people or buildings for miles plus breathe clean air
I’m from Switzerland and i would only consider moving to Iceland or taiwan (I like the climate and the political society). But even then I actually think I’d rather stay here.
I’d love to get out of this city. It’s a car addicted hellscape with a lot of personal baggage in it. A fresh start would do me so much good. I dream of living somewhere not so fucking car brained.
But if it’s just enough money to move, then no. I moved states when I was younger and I can’t live again knowing if anything goes wrong I might be homeless with no local support network. At least here I have some family. If I was rich, sure, but not if I have to work to keep a roof over my head.
PNW, forests are pretty. I’ve long fantasized about dropping my life in Kansas and just moving to Tacoma like I’m a 19th century con artist trying to escape my past
