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. |
Thanks. I move a lot as a person, so the idea of living somewhere else is the norm for me. My parents have owned over 40 homes, so yea... moving is a bit normal.
As for the US, countries rise and fall. When the US falls, it will be quick, and of its own doing. No country lasts forever. I think because all our lives the US has been the world super power, we get the feeling it will just always be that way, and we can treat it any way we like.
I feel a little like the Jews that left Germany in the late 1920 and early 1930's. A lot of people just thought they were crazy.
I have been pretty good all my life at recognizing when it's time to leave a company or city based on economics. That intuition is telling me I need to leave the country, because in the coming 2-5 years, things are going to get REALLY bad.
