I wont be here when the rot sets but it just wont be USA , but thanks for answering the post as after comparing your replys against other Europe forums on Spain Majorca etc, and how rude ignorant and smug some of the replys have been ! Now i feel more pleased than i was with going for option 2 . Where the people are sensible and friendly.
So thanks didnt help but made USA go down in my opinion.

btw isn't Majorca full of Germans?

If you truly like Majorca and you seem to have some funds, that's a great choice.

Gosh, I was in the UK (London) only 3 weeks ago and I could swear that over 90% of the people I came across were white!
And from your description, Germans in Majorca seem very similar to Poles in England...

If they said hey give us 100,000 for the privilage to stay here forever then being honest i would say yea ok . Job done i get the house near the beach with the mooring for the boat , speak the language love Wendys love taco bells etc, lol do me fishing bit of sunbathing swimming tour around the country and relax and enjoy the last years of my life !
Totally self funding no drain on the US economy at all .. So thats why i asked.
But well looks like its Majorca and Vorsprung Technich people lol

Has someone mentioned the cost of healthcare and dental yet?
If one is self-employed, retired and/or with pre-existing health conditions, that person can pay big bucks just for premiums. Then, if you have surgery or get prescribed new meds that are still under patent or treatment, it's enough to make the person bankrupt.

The good thing about you emigrating is that there'll be one less racist bigot next time I go back for a visit. The best thing about you emigrating is that you won't be coming here either.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that when you emigrate, you'll be yet another ****ing immigrant in whatever nation will take you in. You may be the "right colour", but you'll be an immigrant all the same. Perhaps you'll meet some likeminded locals who will remind you to piss off back to where you came from, eh?
