European here. Ah, here come the "I can live abroad so easily" threads.

No. You can't.

Your list tells me you haven't thought ANYTHING through. That sort of mentality doesn't bode well for living abroad, especially if you're not even going to bother to learn the language, and if, to you, the places you listed are interchangeable. The ignorance and entitlement are MIND-BOGGLING.

This +100....another European here who actually has dual citizenship along with DH...but our two working kids with significant others/live/work here in the US.  DH and I always discussed never wanting to retire in our EU country....too far away from kids/future grandkids.

Even having foreign citizenship I would not consider a full move abroad. My elderly mother also has dual citizenship and while agrees it's crazy times...still does not say anything about moving back to her home country -- and she could...she has a house and citizenship...but she'd be living all alone with both her children and grandchildren here in the US.

Another thing...there is a huge housing crisis in many European countries -- too many foreigners coming in and making rents go sky high. We have properties in said European country and I'd honestly rather charge lower rent to actual citizens of the country than get what I could from a foreigner (sometimes double what I could).

On the bright side....my elderly mother was actually thinking of selling her home....maybe we can get a lot more money for it from some crazy American who is desperate to move abroad.[/quote]
