If money was not an issue, would you move to an entirely different state or country? (self.asklemmy)

If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

No I think Colorado USA is maybe the best place in the world to live as long as a certain asshole isn’t elected president.

All my friends live here and so does my family and I have no intention of leaving them, they are too important to me.

I lived in CO for many years and I do miss many aspects about it. All that SPACE and the amazing views and outdoor activities to do. I may move back, some day.

honestly, I'm stuck between staying here, and moving to japan. on the one hand, weed.... and in the other, a -very- predictable political situation...

stability, or drugs... the age old question :P

I fell in love with Colorado while passing through.

What I found very unsettling was how nice the people were. I don't know if it is the hypoxia, the weed, or the quality of life but Colorado people are a different breed. The looming mountains on the front range and people act as if it is just normal confronting such savage beauty every day. I can't wait to visit again.
