Moving Abroad.

[swamp]

I'm going to Russia:

1. Skolkovo innovation centre (a.k.a Russia's Silicon Valley)
2. I speak Russian
3. 13% tax
4. No humongous national debt in Russia

Greenland might be a good bet. They're crying out for immigrants.

I imagine one could afford a large estate which, if there's anything in this climate change theory, could become more productive before long, and it's only a fairly short hop to the US.

Also, seriously, if World War 3 does break out in a few years and nukes start being lobbed around, Greenland would probably be one of the safer areas.

And you can get quick sofa deliveries too!

Ah, you nearly had me believing you, right up to the last line

I'd go to Dunedin in New Zealand if they would have me.

We really did get a sofa delivered same day, as were most things delivered same day.

Yeah still kicking myself for not taking the job offer I had in San Fran waaay back when. A small startup which was eventually taken over by Oracle. And I had myself ready to move to Oz, but then backed out. Now I'm too old to go there.

Suppose its back to Canada for me. Been definitely thinking of going back for a year now. Wife is very keen.

[MrMark]

If you get assistance with visas Canada is one of the most affable counties to move to the emigration hoops are less than expected, it has one of the better qualities of life and if you can cope (as I'm sure you can being Scottish) with throwing on a few extra layers in the winter then there shouldn't be a problem.

I must admit that Canada sounds appealing. Anyone ever gone there to work without taking a snooping holiday first?

[BigTime]

workopolis.com is the canadian version of jobserve. seems there's plenty of work around as commodities aren't in the doldrums. be ready to move home when that time comes again.

Really?

Peterson Air Force Base - 821st Air Base Group

Grenland is a huge place - That Air Force base is in west Greenland, half way up the island. I was thinking of somewhere near the south, like perhaps Nuuk (unfortunate name in the circs ), which looks a short hop from Baffin Island.

Don't be an idiot - you need to factor in extra tax via corruption, and also income tax rate you quote is all nice but there is very high NI rate on businesses.

Russia's has got huge debt hidden by loans made to Govt owned companies, it is basically off the books but it is still guaranteed by the Govt.
