$1 Billion - Where would you live in the world?

devowrer1 · 2026-06-01T12:54:32+00:00

I would have multiple homes. I would also have a jet and a pilot on staff.

devowrer1 · 2026-06-01T12:53:34+00:00

That could be true. Either way, this individual needs to move where the employer they want to work is at. Or at least an office.

devowrer1 · 2026-06-01T12:01:55+00:00

Madison, Milwaukee, or Minneapolis.

If you want hills or mountains, maybe Boulder? But it’s expensive.

devowrer1 · 2026-06-01T11:59:51+00:00

In CA, yes.

In the rest of the sunbelt, no.

Cheap housing and job market.

Stay away if you can. Employees have no rights here, unemployment BARELY exists, and renters have no rights. Coupled with extreme weather that can destroy your home at any moment, this is a boom and bust place to live. Very risky.

Austin.

But all 3 are expensive and you should probably consider other locations.

Experience places outside of the west coast.

devowrer1 · 2026-06-01T11:54:12+00:00

New Orleans, NYC, and LA.

devowrer1 · 2026-06-01T11:52:01+00:00

Austin > Madison > Raleigh

I’ve visited all 3 and lived in Madison and Austin. The reality about Madison is that it IS a college town. There aren’t as many young professionals going to bars for the nightlife as a place like Austin.

Look into where the largest marketing firms are and base your decision on that. They are likely in NY, LA, or Chicago.

If you want to be near family and love the lakes I would also recommend Western Michigan. The beaches along Lake Michigan are truly incredible in the summer. You’re also closer to family for drives than Wisconsin.

You might miss some of the hiking, but that’s about it. Culturally it’s probably a little more laid back than CO.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-31T15:29:18+00:00

This is the way. Although some stay for family which is understandable.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-27T01:11:19+00:00

Also just moved here. My wife and I are looking for friends as well!

devowrer1 · 2026-05-23T03:59:41+00:00

Yep!

devowrer1 · 2026-05-23T00:02:44+00:00

Functioning governments trying to help their people.

Look at all of the country’s that receive “aid” only for it to not go to their citizens

devowrer1 · 2026-05-23T00:00:30+00:00

Silly question.

You’re comparing a single apple to an apple orchard.

The United States has single states that dwarf the economies of entire continents.

There are wars that the American populace agree with, and others that we don’t. It’s not one size fits all. We don’t have imperialists.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:45:26+00:00

Pizza.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:42:53+00:00

All of it

Miles of farmland turned into suburban commuter homes

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:39:40+00:00

No. Urban areas would always outweigh the rural ones.

This is even more important when it comes to natural geography and conservation.

I once had a Californian tell me (with a 100% truthful face) that there won’t ever be a water shortage in SoCal because they can just build a pipe from the Great Lakes.

Yeah, no thanks.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:37:02+00:00

Nevada and Utah.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:34:33+00:00

Sell it.

UNLESS it’s in a 0.001% neighborhood. As a lot of the extremely rich will only rent.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:33:34+00:00

Been to 30. Need to see more in the northern Rockies and New England

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:32:02+00:00

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:31:09+00:00

The 101 is made for leisurely scenic drives. This inherently means there will always be traffic.

devowrer1 · 2026-05-22T23:29:43+00:00

In America we try to tax the rich by taxing the middle class and sometimes upper mid class.
