        There's a trade-off to living in any country. Some have great climate, some have low taxes, some have hot chicks, some have cheap living or a great, politically stable society. No country has everything you could ever wish. Choose the one closest to your heart, the rest you'll learn to deal with.

                "For the fourth year in a row, the United Nations has ranked Norway as having the highest standard of living in the world. Sweden, Australia and Canada are next in line, while the United States is further down the scale."

                I'm happy where I am.. high taxes and not great weather around the year though

                    When I was about 13-14 I travelled to Holland and totally fell in love with the country.
                    I also liked Austria a lot but for me Holland ruled.I`ve always wanted to go back.

                    Of course,living right in front of the caribbean I`ve always thought that if I had to leave my country I would have to do it for another tropical one.

                              Yeah, if you get within 200 miles of a polar bear, you might get killed.

                                    Its socialist, so they're going to be out of control, especially in the upper income brackets.

                                      taxes aren't that bad in norway actually.. Tax Misery Index from Forbes shows different numbers after how much you earn and if you're married or not, but they have something called Overall Tax Burden that we might be able to take a look at.

                                      Norway ends up with an average of about 45%.. sweden tops the chart with around 53% while Canada has around 35% and the US has around 29%.. UK clocks in around 37% (this is the total taxes imposed at all levels).

                                        I'd be curious as to where its lowest.

                                          check it out at http://www.forbes.com/home/global/20...30chart_2.html .. only OECD member countries though .. lowest is mexico with around 18%

                                          there is a lot of different numbers for different situations so might be seriously different for some groups than what I posted above

                                                They seem to do well though.. norway #1 and sweden #2 on the UN Human Development Index.. don't think we can complain

                                                    One where I can bang girls with reckless abandon, have cheaper living but a higher quality of life.

                                                    Thailand and Brazil come to mind. But there are visa issues with Brazil.

                                                        thailand sucks for the general population.. ranked 76th along countries like Oman and Kazakhstan.. brazil isn't much better at 72nd..

                                                              I bet that's calculated by the quality of 'free' healthcare, welfare people's quality of life etc.. doesn't mean *I* have it any better in scandinavia than I'd have anywhere else. I use private doctors, I don't take any sort of welfare and I pay shitload of taxes.


                                                              That being said, I'd like to move somewhere south (warm) with slightly more reasonable taxes.

I use private doctors, I don't take any sort of welfare and I pay shitload of taxes.
                                                                                              My point exactly, that's why I hate the fuckers. They make it so easy for the "less fortunate ones" to stay less fortunate. The welfare system is a fucking joke, it's so easy to abuse it's not even a challenge anymore. If you're willing to work a lot and prepared to put in time, skill and effort to get ahead financially, Scandinavian countries are shit for living. Not to mention that the "solidarity preachers", meaning those who never had the brains to do more than work in a factory, will look down on you and treat you like an enemy.

                                                                                              I'd say move to South America, your money will buy any respect you need, plus the best living and healthcare in the world.
