Are USA, UK, Germany, France and Australia the best countries to live right now (money, roach)

[survivingearth]

These seems to be the favorite countries to live whenever i talk to people. Do you agree?

The US is one of the favourite place to work and make money, not to "live" per se.

You forgot to add Canada to the list.

Canada is not that desirable among my peers

I don’t know about Australia. It seems too isolated for my taste, although it’s probably nice.

I would replace it with Japan, but only if you can speak Japanese well.

that is an odd comment. Don't you need to speak English in the US/Australia, French in France and German in Germany? It applies to all countries, even in countries where English is widely used as a second language.

Largely because of the winter I guess? Otherwise it is not different from the US from a lifestyle perspective.

Maybe in 1998, but since we're approaching 2018, in my opinion: UAE/Dubai, Japan, Israel, Greece. Maybe Hong Kong too...

This should be what most people should pick (if they have enough and accurate information), my opinion will be the same though I'd add eastern european countries and consider dubai slightly gettind de mode.

They are pretty good. Whether they are the best really depends on people.

I believe Spain is becoming more and more desirable, just maybe not for the native population who have trouble creating the opportunities that ex-pats do.
