Personally, I'd love to live somewhere where the weather is nicer as that has a tangible impact on my overall wellbeing, probably more so than any other factor outside of my family. I'd also like to live in a country that isn't in decline, where cities are safer, where the health service works, and so on.

Having lived abroad in a relatively small country with a much smaller GDP per capita, I can safely say that a lot of things worked better there.

And on the subject of living broad - it isn't for everyone, but it's certainly one of the best ways to understand your own country better. Not just how things work (or don't), but all those little nuances of the culture.
Brilliant post SP. It sums up my views exactly.
