Ok, Ive never come up with anything this good, but anywayz, when im older, and nearing retirement, Instead of still being in England, Ill move to the states. There currency is lower in the states, and if i converted all my money from pounds to dollars, Ill be richer in US, and I believe the wages are lower in US. That mean Ill be better off on the whole.
Ok, can someone say if my plan is good, and also post ideas of yourself ......
Yeah, but in the USA, when you're old, there won't be any social security money due to the baby boomer generation. Just you know. :p
Whats wrong with England? >;O
When your old you wont need loads of money.
There are only so many Worther's Originals you can buy, y'know?
You cant be any more wrong, when your old, desicions dont really affect you as much, so I can blow all the money as i want, the hell im giving it to my children......Quote:

Hey, you should go to Canada instead. It has a lower crime rate. It's so low, most people leave their front door(and back) unlocked. And the currency is worth less than the U.S.
You'd probably end up spending more money over in the USA. Using this as an example, as you get older you get more health implications - over here in the UK we don't have to pay for our medical health bills etc. but over in the USA you do.
Thats just one point I suppose, and I'm tired and can't be bothered to think of anymore.
Move to some small pacific island where everyone lives in huts, as then you'll be the equivalent of a billionaire and it'll have good weather and also possibly coconuts. Also it may have coconuts. I know I have already said that, but I felt that it was such an important factor that it needed to be mentioned twice.
Just mentioning, I love it when someone claims to have a genius plan and spells genius wrong.
Ditto.Quote:

Technically your money would be worth about 50% more than it is over there, which can be a rather substantial number. I recall that prices in pounds over in England were about the same as prices in dollars are for the same basic good or service as well, so it may indeed work, depending on how the exchange rate is at the time.
There's this concept known as the exchange rate. Your pounds will turn into more dollars. But it's a ratio. Those dollars will buy you as much in the US as the pounds would have in the UK. For the most part anyway. Keep track of another concept known as "the cost of living". That'll factor in too.
There are never enough.Quote:

Anyway, why the hell would you want to live in America? If you want loads of money move to somewhere in Africa, Eastern Europe or Asia. If you had £2 people would think you are a millionaire.
Move to mexico instead. Then you'll be a PESOAIRE.
People used to talk about moving to Mexico all the time years ago, but that's died off. I wonder why.
They realized being rich in mexico doesn't really matter 'cause it still sucks
Living in the United States isn't as easy as some might think.
If you're going to move to an urban area like San Francisco or New York, you could be making 100,000 a year and still barely scraping by. Same goes with many of the good suburbs.. they're just as expensive or MORE expensive. Then again, if you want to live someplace cheap and work there as well, you won't be making much and you'll be living in a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] ghetto full of illegal aliens and nothing good to do for miles around. Even some of the urban "ghettos" are expensive to live in simply by location...
Er, my point is... all the "good" places in the U.S. are likely a lot more expensive to live in than you would think. If your plan is to move here to save money... try L.A. for a year and you'll be back in the UK by day 366.

Don't tell Meat Puppet that, PiP! You'll bring his entire world (or his entire moon, HOHOHO LOL) crashing down around him.
dubai is supposed to be a nic place to live :hat:
Yes, the weather in the Pacific Islands is occasionally on par with the recent weather in Florida, so I'm sure he'll be fine there! The money bit is true, though.Quote:

EDIT: If you really want to rake in the cash, Dubai is indeed the place to go. Working for oil companies in the middle east brings in the real cash.
