[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes daydream about moving to Europe, a mid sized city with tons of amenities but without the rat race. Where UMC people live off $7k per month for a family of 4 (or €5k for a couple being a lot of money), top public schools and [b]private schools are €500 per month[/b]. Most of all, I wish I could leave behind the competitiveness and one-upmanship. A simpler life.[/quote]

Where is this?

I don’t get the impression there is any more or less of a rat race there than here.  Depends on where you live but london friends seem just as stressed as NYC friends.

Your problems follow you.  You can just as easily live a lifestyle like that here.  [/quote]

Germany[/quote]

I’m German. Wages are lower in Germany than in the DC area. The cost to buy a house in a desirable region is much higher. You’d be more likely to rent a small apartment.

I would prefer to move back because it’s my home, but I think it’s hard for most Americans. [/quote]
