Best Countries Where To Live

I will stay where I am, I was born and raised here. I do not have the funds to be picky anymore.

The standard of living in those countries may be high - but for me personally I would take other things into consideration - like so many months of winter. I would get cabin fever.

If all those countries are better places to live then why does everyone keep coming to Britain?

I am happy where I am but I have deep roots in Canada, England and Ireland and could happily live in any of them. I did think about buying an apartment in England but hubs put his foot down!! He has a hard time understanding the language lol

I thought that Canada would come in way higher. I am extremely happy to live here in my native country and have no intention or desire to be somewhere else.

I'm happy to be living in Canada. It is a wonderful place.

I am happy in France, I abandon you Norway, especially during winter. Coming to winter, I would have nothing against spending it in the Southern hemisphere. Australia is perhaps a bit too warm, but New-Zealand or Argentina would be alright for 3 months per year.

Even if the Philippines isn't that beautiful to live at because of some insurgency problems and calamities, I still would choose the Philippines to live in.

I am absolutely happy in India. Only problem here in India is its population which still growing with the fast rate due to which we there are less opportunities for people over here. I would love to live in Australia .

I wouldn’t move to any other country. I’m happy here. But it’s really interesting to know the best countries for living standards.

well at this point.Not much choice.If I was much younger.I will chose Tuscany,Italy my favorite place. Noticed that Italy did not make it?

@ladyduck I love living in Ireland, and I intend moving to the West coast which is under-populated when I retire. However I also want to spent a few months each year in Sicily. We can dream.

Oh! Great discussion and very interesting. I am from Nepal. And I like her in natural point of view. You know Nepal is the Himalayan country with lots of beauty. There is less development due to various internal conflicts and wars. Now, our country is heading to federal system and there are many chances of development. I don't like moving outside my country. I think there are many opportunities here. But I would like to visit some countries in days to come to explore the country. And Switzerland is always my first priority. I think you must be happy being in there. Would you like to visit Nepal? We will be happy to welcome you!

Thank you for this photo, it is serene and calming. I have heard about Norway being one of the best countries to live in, good for them. I live in London (UK), i am happy here currently so i look forward to visiting other best countries as much as i can.

Hubby and I have been here (even in this area) all our lives. We can't imagine how others just pack up and live in another country - oh but we dream about it! We are happy where we are, but this is all we know . . . that being said, we do weigh the positives and negatives all the time. Also our country is so big - it can be so different depending where you go . . . I think we would first consider moving to another city/state before moving to another country.

I wont live in Singapore. The people there are over stressed with work to the point that they became abusive to their maids. It had a high rate of abuse to their maids. Maids from the Philippines, Indonesia and India are not treated well. I am not generalizing people but the the high rate of maid abuse there is disturbing. Their education system also pressured the teens in too much stress. They are number 2 when it comes to education performance but Finland managed to be number one with a more laid back approach. Singapore though is a very clean country with good food but It is not a good place for someone who is not Chinese, White or Malaysian. My Filipino Lineage will automatically turn me into second class citezen. Norway Hands down, Have the best music in the world next to Sweden and Japan.

I've visited all but Singapore and wouldn't live anywhere in the world but the good, old, US of A. Travel is wonderful and so were the countries, but I'm all American through and through. Canada would be at the bottom of my list unless I lived in Toronto.

I was a bit surprised to find Australia at No 2 but that's good to know.

Would love to see some other countries after I see all of ours but wouldn't want to live any where else but here in the USA

Iam not happy here un Nepal. This is underdeveloped country. I want ti shift where better facilities are available.
