I've always felt like talks of radical financial policy changes were a bit futile, I just think because of our bounded rationality the consequences and results of such a massive change is beyond our comprehension. Not that I'm suggesting that it is pointless to try to implement changes but I think it needs to be small and very gradual. I guess futile isn't really the correct term, because I do think it is imprtant to challenge and stimulate ourselves intellectually, but I don't understand how people can be so sure of a potential solution one way or the other.
Congratulations on the decision to move. I've vacationed in NZ near Auckland for a few days years ago and really enjoyed it. I think when you are ready for your life to be different moving is a great idea, it is much easier to make significant changes in a new location instead of trying to change things where you already have an established pattern or routine. Good luck and I hope you really enjoy it.
