If money was not an issue, would you move to an entirely different state or country? (lemmy.world)

If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

Well, crap. I really want to go somewhere far from the global conflicts that might arise in the future but still live in a relatively modern and developed country. New Zealand seemed like it would be a desirable destination, but if it's on the same trajectory as the US, UK, and Canada, I guess it wouldn't be an upgrade.

I really want to be as far from likely military (particularly nuclear) targets as possible. I feel like we're on the precipice of something truly awful.

@slingstone I worry about that too. But NZ is unfortunately a 5 Eyes country and has a lot of oligarch/billionaire prepper bunkers in it.
