Ask Lemmy

Probably wouldn't hesitate as long as I knew I could occasionally return to visit. Was in the military and stationed over seas. Would love to live in Germany again, have a friend that lives in Netherlands and frankly looks like a great place to live. Another friend lives on the coast in Japan and is raising a family there. Would if I could but lack the income to make it viable.

I won't..

Probably not. The only thing I don't like about the place I'm living in now is having to deal with winter and snow but if money is not an issue I could come up with ways to deal with that better aswell. I don't think I would appreciate summer to the extent I do now if I didn't also have to suffer thru winter.

The three things that stop me moving to another country are money (or ability to get a job for the money I need), family (I have an elderly mum who I need to be around for) and residency issues (thanks Brexit). I guess if I was super rich I would be able to get residency more easily, but in the absence of a teletransporter it wouldn't fix the family issue.

1000% the only reason I haven't left where I am is because of funds. Moving out of country is expensive. As to where, a few options are on the table if I could go but would take more understanding the positives and negatives of each location a little more.

Trying to move to Senegal against all financial odds.

If I had infinite money I would've moved to Japan, if I had like hundreds of thousands or millions I'd moved to Taiwan, if I had only the money to move and get settled (i.e. stable job and and a roof) I'd moved to one of the Scandinavian countries, Finland or Netherlands. I guess Canada and the UK would also be fine by me just for cultural and lingual reasons.

Language is really the issue. It really narrows my options. I guess new zealand or Australia might be nicer, though I here Australia my be moving backwards (I mean right lol). All in all, I would like to live somewhere people come first, not profits.

Would totally move to a different state, meet new people, different country tho? Not now at least

I already did that. Here I am.

If money was no object I'd move a lot of other people out of my current state and I'd stay here. Geography and climate are fine for me, but there's too many fucking Republicans. Money no object, every last one would be relocated to a holding urn in low orbit of Venus.

If money were* not an issue

When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.
