    Any Hot dog stand! I'm there at least once a year and that is what I live off of in the city. You really have to know where to go. Sure you will find $8 cheese cake and expensive beer... But even with things like that, there are places that are cheap! You just have to know where to go.

    OK, I was thinking this was where you were heading, but thought even that's too good to be true. Still, nothing beats a Chicago dog - sorry, Big Apple folks!

    Sure man, buck for a dog, buck for a pretzel and buck for a coke. 3 bucks, and you are full all day.

    I still like the NYC dogs over Chi-Town dogs any day... That and the Pizza, nothing beats it. Any Pizza on the East Coast just rocks... It's truly hard to find bad pizza... That's another thing you can eat for 3 bucks in Manhattan... PIZZA... The biggest slice you've ever seen and a coke... 3 bucks!

    There are other things you can get in Manhattan for 3 bucks, but I'm not sure those are very healthy.

    Reading through your points Will there is only one conclusion......Move to the Netherlands :cool:

    Apart from the Tax point you have included The Netherlands is your best choice.

    Every point you have pointed out except for the tax part is provided for you.

    Regarding taxes, just get a little creative :D

    i would vote for bali, nice for living, great beaches and you can fly to australia in no time driving trough the outback, or you fly to bangkok for shopping, or to phnom peng to get stoned. it's a good location somewhere in the middle of everything with a great culture.
    and about religious goverment. come on... you are from the us, you must be used to that.

    Interesting points Mia. I've also heard Argentina is a great place to live.

    Chile is meant to be awesome as well and internationally it ranks very well for not being corrupt.

    I lived for a while in Helmond and Eindhoven, and the wife lived in Eindhoven before we got together. :)

    Yeah, most of those banana republics are pretty corrupt. I had a sister in Argentina and one in Guatamala for a couple of years and only about half the packages I sent them arrived with their complete contents.

    Will, just stay here and help fix this country. The good ole USA needs a major overhaul and if the good people leave, then it just leaves the rest of us scumbuckets to make it worse! LOL:cool:

    I always liked the weather there. It would rain, then be sunny, then rain, then be sunny... At least it was not raining all the time.

    I like things a bit cool, overcast, a little sun, not hot, some rain... You know, a nice mix. The UK was close, but a bit too cold at times.... Overall, I like the climate there.

    Ideal climate on the planet is probably the Dominican Republic!
