If you could / had the opportunity to would you, emigrate to another Country?...?

Question

If you had teh OPPortunity to Emigrate to another country would you?... and why?...

Answer 1

I was making $50k a year in the SF Bay Area, which is a little less then average.

I was laid off and went looking for another job and the best entry level I could find paid me $35K a year.

I then sold everything I owned, moved overseas were I now teach.

I had the added bonus of not being in debt. Had made the very wise decision to live within my means, ripped up my credit cards, made sure I have a pissssss poor credit rating to protect me from identity theft and have lived debt free for the last two decades.

There is a lot to be said for financial freedom.  Which doesn't always mean having a lot of money, to me it means not owing any money.

I am now making $5k a year, tax free. Plus I save about half of that.

I am living better then I did in the states.

Unless things change significantly, I don't plan on coming back, except to visit.

Answer 4

No; With all of USA's problems, this is still the best place in the world, hands down.

Answer 5

yes I probably would. I have been in another country now for 6 months and intend staying for as as long as I can. I was earning 100,000 a year on average in australia, but was working 70 hours a week, sure the money is good but I was killing myself to earn it. I now earn a lot less but the price of living is cheap where I am and I live quite well, as well as save money, I also work about 15 hours a week, life is good. I am definately looking at staying.The language can be a problem but I have plenty of time to learn.

Answer 6
