Absolutely. Ideally one of the Nordic model countries, but the issue there is more than just money, it's linguistic and bureaucratic as well.
I think I have both your problems solved. If money isn't an issue the bureaucracy is a nuisance but not inhibiting as you can pay someone to file all the appropriate paperwork. The language barrier is even easier. I have been to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland and did not meet a single person that didn't fluently speak English. Not saying they don't exist, but operating in most any western European country is very easy as an English speaker. Also you'll pick up the language over time. Immersion is the best way to learn a language, or so I hear.
Hey, sounds perfect to me! Now if only I could make that "money isn't an issue" thing a reality, I'd really be set!
But, for a country like Norway, I personally would like to continue to work as a Paramedic. That language barrier is a big deal. I'd need to pass a language test and then 3 medical exams in Norwegian.
Unless this post implies that I'd be so wealthy I don't have to work after I relocate.
If literally everyone speaks fluent English (which is true), then you will not "pick up the language over time" by immersion. There are a ton of Anglo expats in Scandinavia and the Netherlands who do not speak the local language, for just this reason.
Hah good username.
Thanks gancho!
Same! And honestly, its looking like I should really put in some time to figure out what would need to happen for me to do so in a hurry. This country is...
Well, people need to vote. We should have a go fund me specifically for people who would to vote if not for their job/childcare etc. I know most people aren't awful, but they don't get out and vote and so I'm forced to worry about having to leave in a hurry.
And the cold dark winters 🥶☹️
Come to France instead !
