RE: I’d pick Australia to retire to. Canada is just too COLD and the rest are just too liberal.
You must be really wealthy ....
1) Australia now has one of the most expensive real estate in the world ( due to her strong currency which has APPRECIATED tremendously vs the USD ).
2) John Howard ( a conservative ), was Prime Minister for close to 10 years and made Australia very competitive ( with low debt and excellent fiscal policies ). Then, the Labor Party took over ( via a slim margin ).
Who knows what will happen next? The current PM, a woman ( Julia Gillard ) is an atheist, a pro-choicer, and isn’t even married to the man she is living with.
You must be really wealthy ....
Hardly!
I’m not hurting, but I’m not wealthy by any means!
I just figured, if this country keeps going the way it is, I should start looking for somewhere else to settle.
