Hello,
If all other circumstances are equal where you want to move in 15 years.
Where are you from? Do you plan on moving?

Ideally Scotland or Northern Europe. Realistically it will probably be Charlevoix though.
Lived in the same region of the US my entire life, couple of different states. Not looking to move any time soon, mainly due to the low cost of housing here and the low long-term interest rate I have locked in on my house. (under $1000 US per month for principal/interest/taxes. Having it paid off isn't exactly close but is on the distant horizon)
I'd love to move to the UK for retirement, but who knows if that will be possible immigration-wise and economically viable. It's my favorite place to visit. A small cottage somewhere remote like North Wales would be perfect and affordable by UK standards. Definitely not doing the move to Florida nonsense.

I'm from the U.S. and moved here last September... I'm currently working on a PR app and hope to stay, but I'm really not sure of my chances and it seems like it's getting harder and harder. Considering doing a PhD because I'd like to stay. We'll see....
I've lived all over! Originally from the northeast
I am from Montreal. Lived in Toronto for several years. I am thinking to move out in some years, was interested to go to Switzerland or Spain or Germany. For sure when I retire it will be in some island in the Caribbean.
I live in a major city in Atlantic Canada, and work for an IT Company that has myself travelling to MTL 5-6X a year. Not much interest in moving, primarily because I don’t speak French, and it would make the city a lil less exciting for me.
I agree! There are so many other places that offer a much better tradeoff in terms of happiness / income and cultural experience compared to here - especially considering how much we pay in taxes while everything just keeps getting more expensive.
We basically pay taxes half the year to actually get to the hard earned money we work for.
Elected officials in the House of Commons work 73 days out of the year and don’t really make anything better for Canadian lives. The rest of the year they’re on vacation.
It’s now the “mandatory” summer break despite our country being in a “crisis”.
Liberal Ministers earn over $310K/year.
Let that sink in for a minute.

I couldn't stand the heat and humidity. 30-35C and 90% humidity all the time, no thanks. I'd rather live somewhere with 4 seasons or just cooler in general. Not to mention the insane political climate down there, coupled with worsening climate issues and insanely expensive homeowners insurance. I'll either die in my current home, build a shack in the desert/woods, or move to a cottage in the UK. Anything but a place like the Villages
Yes the insurance is much more high due to hurricane risk but the trade off is great since it’s a tax exempt state.
The humidity is not fun that’s for sure hahaha. But the alligators seem chill!
Hot heat is best with a sp rubbing her sweat on me! lol
The grass is always greener on the other side. I lived in several western countries, and each has its specific pluses and minuses. But I would never consider moving to the third world country as I hate to be rich among poor.
Born and raised here, not planning to move to another country or province, been there done that. I just need to go away for a year or so once in a while, getting away from the anglos helps me maintain my mental health.
Same here, but I have a mix of Western and Eastern countries in the mix. I'm always been asked where it's the best. But as always I say it depends of your situation and period in life. Like if you have a family, if you are old, if you're single and young, etc.
I prefer big cities too. I'm well off so other people aren't necessarily poor where I go but I won't look down on others.
Same but for Quebs. Especially make sure to avoid them when I see them on vacation. Also helps my mental health.
I do the same when bumping into Frenchies haha
Plus by my outlook I can easily pretend to be a tourist (I also have a funny and not funny story about that)
