Where in the world...?
 
If you were free to live in any country in the world, without any visa/work permit restrictions, and with an income which allowed you to live a very comfortable life and also save money, which country would you choose, and why?

All other considerations would be according to the country of your choosing, e.g. education, healthcare, taxation, climate, crime, the price of cheese and wine etc.

Scotland, preferably, the Isle of Skye.

Great people, fantastic environment, lots of space, but close enough to civilization to feel part of the bigger picture. I wouldn't want to have to work though, too many great outdoor things to do.

I'd still be here in Calgary. :)

This is where my two sons and my grandchildren are. :thumbup:

I like a very nice-sized megayacht so I can go where I like. I'd probably want to spend time doing a Meditteranean-Caribbean-Gulf of Mexico-Florida-Bahamas-Med circuit. :thumbsup:

The downside. My wife doesn't like boats. :(

I'm living exactly where I've wanted to live for most of my adult life. And quite happy for it. If I had lots of money I'd buy a nicer place that's for sure, but I'd still live here in Toronto.

I'd go home. I'd be a bit adventurous though, maybe even consider living south of the river.

Anything stopping you?

The tube isn't the greatest south of the river IIRC.
