You never answered me when I pointed out that you're so stupid you thought the term "play money" actually meant fake money. Yeah, that was funny and you're pretty dumb.
Fort Collins, CO OK, the wife is begging me to move to Fort Collins, CO. The "money top places to live" number one spot got her attention, and she has wanted to move to colorodo since we got married. Anybody familiar with that area? We have two pre-school aged children, so not looking for a single type atmosphere (although i believe that is a college town, which would make for some good scenery for me... )
As an objective observer it would seem that you have been caught in a lie. Unfortunately, you have lost all credibility by lying. Very weird that a person would feel the need to lie on an anonymous discussion board. Here's your previous post: "Where have I EVER tried to persuade anyone that I'm a good trader? Are you continuing to make up facts to suit the diarrhea your mind creates? Take it easy baby boy. I'm an investor who is trying to learn the ropes of trading with play money. I've never said I wasn't...so just dry your tears and move on kid. Are you really counting my posts per day? I'm sorry I have free time, boo hoo, what a terrible thing that I have time to post. And what in the hell is a therapeutist?!?!" And no, I won't be responding to any further posts by you so you can save your keystrokes.
Here are some sources to find data on the cost of living in different destinations around the world. Both are indexed to "New York" representing 100% of the cost of living. Looking at the rankings and my personal experiences I would give the UBS the benefit of the doubt here (based on my observataions across many cities in Europe) rather than the Mercer one. Although I wonder how Moscow can be ranked #41 with UBS and #1 with Mercer Mercer survey: http://www.finfacts.ie/costofliving.htm UBS survey: http://www.citymayors.com/economics/expensive_cities2.html
I read somewhere that Moscow rose from being host to 0 billionaires in the 90s to like ~30 billionaires now. I guess the oil and minerals money is driving up prices across the city. Crazy.
They all come to London from Russia as they don't thave to pay tax, they buy our football clubs and our best London houses for cash sending the prices sky rocketing, a penthouse on Hyde park in London just went for £100m ($200m) For a flat!! $10,000 per sq ft. <img src=http://property.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00153/one_hyde_park_153221a.jpg> â Leonard Blavatnik paid £42 million for his mansion in Kensington Palace Gardens in 2004. The billionaire, who made his money from the oil industry, outbid Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea football club â Roman Abramovich paid £40 million for four linked houses on Chester Square between 2005 and 2006, which he intends to knock together to create one vast home. He also has six apartments in Lowndes Square worth about £30 million http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/article1577451.ece
lol that's nuts. Kinda reminds me of those Japanese guys outbidding each other in the 80s for Rembrandts and other art.
Quote from michaelscott: Im not certain how one can build a life by constantly moving about to different places. I dont see the purpose. There is one thing certain in life and that is death. You cant leave your mark on the world by rotating residences every few years. It may seem exciting when your young, but as you get older you realize that you have no ties to any specific community, any specific person and your impact upon the world has been zilch. I've met quite a few older people who have moved out of the country and I have realized one thing. They didnt move there to live, they moved there to die. I want to live and make an impact on the world not go someplace to die. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I completely agree. I lived in 8 countries in 10 years and it is fun for a while but what he says above is true. It gets old. You keep leaving your friends. When you are older many people have had friends for 20 years or so. They dont always need new ones so gets harder to meet people as you get older. Better to settle somewhere you love.
. No - You sound like the idiot SiSe. Michael is speaking from experience. I am too. Unlike your immature day-dreaming self, I have actually moved 8 countries in 10 years. It gets old.
