[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s say you are a fed+private sector fam that is thoroughly terrorized like Vought wanted and contemplating an exit.

What country would you move to for the next 20-30 years (assume visa isn’t an issue)? Two kids in two, including one going to college in 4 years. Both highly educated looking for highish income jobs.
Where would you live? Where would you want your kids to go to university?

Most EU/Canada - economy not as robust, lower salaries, could be fine

Middle East - high salaries, high standard of living, no political freedoms

SE Asia - fast growing, interesting opportunities but also authoritarianish (Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia come to mind)

I realize these are regions and big differences are exist between say Germany and Portugal

I would consider Malaysia, Thailand or Vietnam.  Those countries are very affordable and even though you pay for healthcare out of pocket, it costs little to nothing and most doctors are educated in the UK or US.

The "highish income" jobs may be a problem.  It may be highish income for those countries, but not by Western standards.

You left out Australia and New Zealand...those would actually be my top choices.[/quote]
Would not do Vietnam. Too tied to China.

Malaysia, I would be wary. They've only recently become a stable concern.

Thailand would be ok, politically and economically.

+1 to Auz and NZ.  My SIL from the UK lived there for many years and loved it.[/quote]
