money wise - WHAT THE BEST (ENGLISH SPEAKING) COUNTRY TO LIVE IN?

Gibraltar seems a good way of live, but as to house prices there verses here, I'm not sure.

Well I guess it doesn't matter which English speaking country has cheaper housing, excellent schools, health care, nice people - because the OP isn't really looking for such a place.

If you're curious, check this site out:

it lets you compare quality of life in various different countries. Not something I'd want to base a life decision on, but interesting.

Yeah, I don't get any of this either. If you want to live the 'English life' then stay here!

I know of so many people who have moved away to Greece, Turkey, Spain etc, and keep living as if they are in England! Refusing to speak the lingo, refusing to integrate (only mixing with other English expats,) and generally refusing to change anything about themselves to 'fit in' with the natives. It's just rude IMO.

I also think that quite a few people who moved overseas from England, are not as happy and chipper as they make out they are.

Nothing on earth would make me leave the UK, even if I won the lottery.

Why restrict yourself to English speaking coutries? (you can always learn another language right)?

Do you have necessary skills that will allow you to work in the obvious English speaking countries like USA or australia?

Edited to add:

I just read that you are not actually looking to move. So what is the point of your question? I very much doubt there is a definitive answer to your question (or mine for that matter).

TBH, this is the sort of thread that I'd expect to see on DT or The Arms.

Me too, but being cheap ain't one of them!

I'd say maybe Spain seeing as there's many Brits there. But I don't know as I've deliberately kept away for that very reason.

Cost of living cheap = low pay

High pay = higher living costs
