Nothing is perfect, but it works 100pct better (for me).
Schooling could have made a difference, but not in my case any more.
Left behind some great friends but would not return for a 1M dollars after my ‘fair’ treatment during covid.
Hey I was just being curious. I put it as a question but also info as that is how it has been explained to me by my accountant. When moving to a different country the financials have to be fully looked at fully. Obviously not the be all and end all.
The main thing is you being happy. When you are retired you look back and say ok gave it a go and didn’t work out rather than wonder what that would have been like?
I’m pretty chilled out but recently being from the UK I have had enough of the whole country. My cousin recently came back for a year from Australia to see family friends etc. She said her self everyone she has caught up with and the general vibe from everyone is we are all so stressed and depressed. Next 5 years are going to be brutal here financially. She can’t wait to get back.
Sorry slight thread drift.
