Should I move to Europe???

If you don't want to live in "nazi germany" you might not like Europe. Remember that the original "nazi germany" was actually in Germany.

Seriously though, no, no-one can help you out there. It's got to be your choice, and yours alone.

Just make sure you don't jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Go for a holiday there first. Travel far and wide (it's pretty easy to do), and learn as much as you can about each place along the way. That will help you determine whether or not it actually is the right move or not.

On the other hand you might learn that you've actually got it pretty good where you are and have saved a lot of money and effort if you don't like it.

as an American? you will move anyway soon. Why not Europe
well they have the same problem as America,

Asia is better for a time, Europe will rule the world, for a while

hey, it does not matter, anything is better than America, This story is....

yet to be explained in full

not yet the time for that. Wait for Sept. 30

a big day at the global stock exchange...

Three days later you are moving to Europe?

You also have posted about being in your 40s and losing your sense of identity, etc.

Moving to a country - if you have work or can support yourself - could be a great way to kickstart a new lifestyle or add interest/adventure to your life.

If what you want is to escape problems in your life - don't do it. Solve the problems first, and then move.

As for the comments about North America - that's crazy.

Just don't go to Spain, and renovate a Hotel, we have so many shows like that in AU, usually with a stupid couple from England, it is almost outflanking English renovation shows!

I am in the US and come from the UK. Swings and Roundabouts and, which country would you reside in? Healthcare is great, social security better. Much more expensive to live there though. If your a self sufficient internet marketer though, making a good income you can live anywhere. The dollar has never been stronger against the Euro-Currencies

Best to travel first to the desired locations, get a feel for the cultures.

I think you will find people there more real, more demonstrative, more sincere and friendly. America is cocooned in it's own little world.

Maybe you were listening to the wrong guy on radio?

you guys call yourself "business people" and don't know about the
coming changes to the world's reserve currency system?

c'mon i cannot believe that level of ignorance.

Ya well I have to get a few things out of the way first. So I'm working on them. Ya I guess it's hard to know if the grass is greener on the other side. You know there's pro's and con's to it. But I just really really would love and invite a change. Even if the change really sucked at first. I don't care. I'd put up with it meanwhile just working on improving it until I could make it how I wanted it. but ya I just want to get out and try some stuff. Like I'm already in my 40's so at this age you start to sort of think about retirement and or taking some chances while you're still able to do so. Like because the reality is that if you don't take them then at some point you won't be able to anymore really.

man, you're such a fragile guy with so many worries

could you just reach out

and do something?

you know, to be honest, the top league here are doers
not talkers, and we give not 1 flying fig-foo about talkers
that never done anything themselves.

identify a doer of choice: contact them

or stay in your common misery forever

If you are from England, don't do it!

it does not matter where you are from

its a practical thing to do something practical. lol.

i personally like hotels - i just not want to decorate them
but thats just me, for everyone else: this might be a bigger
game than you're used to play right now, So why be
demanding? learn from the ground up - and have a solid
education - that opens up all the other doors.

its a step 1 then 2 then 3 - and finally you will be the owner

Don't let the Statue of Liberty kick you in the ass on your way out. Buh-bye!

Frank

P.S. You'll be back. lol

You know what I like better than moving to Europe? Expired canned beets and knowledge.

If you are in your 40's without tons of obligations - why not go on the international job sites and see what you can find?

I worked with a man who did that - left the US to work in Europe. He was able to travel all over Europe on weekends and holidays. He came back to the States for a couple of years - then moved permanently to Thailand.

Takes a sense of adventure and a willingness to jump in and do it.

The latest quandary is Japan...

Folder full of useless music....

I just saw the questions about Japan - think the OP should perhaps stay in Podunk, USA and subscribe to National Geographic.

agree with you DWolfe, it might take a while, even 3 months

but it starts Friday, if the Chinese will release their data about their gold holdings
as well, which they said they will,
then we suddenly have a currency backed by gold. And another one based on debt.

At the same time Deutsche Bank positioned themselves to take down all central banks
with them, if they go, all will go together. and we have the derivatives market that is just
waiting for something like that to happens to go poof within a day or two.

If you can't make a decent living in North America, I highly doubt that you can do well in Europe. Remember why the U.S. gained independence from Great Britain?

I dont know the Chinese arrangements with their yet
undisclosed huge quantities of gold, nearly sure the
mere possession of it in physical terms is what decides
that case in the end, because its not virtual, neither is
it based on bets, like most of what these guys do:

Deutsche Bank holds 75 Trillion Euro in derivatives,
who could bail them out, who has that kind of money?
this is different than Lehman bros & Freddy M in 2008
this one is 20x the German GDP!

& their shares are down to E10, no wonder the bond sales
over there stalled. Who wants to invest in risky places like
that, in moments like this. And its all connected, when DB
goes, all global derivatives falter. It's the law of Las Vegas,
gambling can be a threat to your ability to survive.

bail-ins are always the solution, unless you call yourself "Europes biggest investment bank"
like DB does. Who wants to invest in a bank that takes your investment to bail itself out?

And: How will that affect the necessary confidence in the derivatives market?

The biggest Bubble ever in the gambling niche."yes we lost all -but we play again"
not this time, too many people will loose too much.

OP- 2 most important things:

1)What specifically are you looking for in a new destination? How will relocating there fix the things you don't like about your current location? Will you run into any of those problems in your new location?
2) Where, specifically is it that you have this opportunity? Various areas of Europe can be very different from one another. Living in Eastern Europe or Greece will be a very different experience than London.

If you work totally online, try plugging into (or at least dropping by) one of the various "digital nomad" hubs in Europe. (Barcelona, Prague, Berlin, Tallin, Bucharest, etc). It's always helpful to surround yourself with like-minded folks.

I highly reccomend living abroad for to anyone who had the opportunity. You will have many unforgettable, sometimes uncomortable expereinces, but if you approach it with the right attitude you'll emerge better for it on the other side.

Tell us more about what you want in this new life you're considering, and hopefully I can tailor my advice more specifically.

Cheers,
-Joe

Why not be a digital nomad? Why not live in Europe for a time and then somewhere else for another part of the year? Why be tied to one location?
