I currently live in California, but it’s literally impossible to afford to buy a house.
Where are some good places to move to? I was thinking about Washington State, but I’m not sure I could handle the snow.
I would recommend somewhere in Europe. You will have paid vacation and heathcare insurance and (almost) free school and … :)
I’ve looked into relocating there, but citizenship seems difficult?
I also think I read somewhere that there are stricter labor laws so I wouldn’t be able to freelance as heavily (~30 hours a week) alongside having full-time employment?
Why would you want to work 70 hours a week in Europe? Nobody really does that there
I’m trying to retire early, so I usually work my 40hr day job and then do another 20 or so contracting / consulting.
WE AREN’T INVITED
It’s so frustrating hearing Europeans tell Americans to move there. As if we could just up and run and get visas and jobs. Trust me, if it were easy, I would have done it. I’ve moved across the pale blue dot multiple times and never found an avenue into the EU.
Do you have any idea how difficult immigration is? Maybe you’ve been listening to the Islamaphobes too much… another great reason not to move to Europe btw, what if you’re the wrong color… they have a very different brand of bigotry out there
It depends on the person, but some countries like Austria have points-based systems that will work for some people. It’s how I’m getting a visa currently and I just needed a job offer.
Or you can go hard-mode and take the Svalbard route!
