I've lived in nearly every EU country mentioned here. Almost everyone is wrong. The only European country worth considering is Switzerland, all the rest come with serious shortcomings:<p>- UK: Dystopian, collapsing infrastructure, London is super-expensive.<p>- Germany: Salaries are not generally high, taxation/bureaucracy/housing in the desirable parts.<p>- Ireland: High taxes, extreme dysfunction, crazy housing costs.<p>- Netherlands: High taxes and insane wealth tax on your savings and investments based on fictitious assumed rate of return. With current inflation, if you want to build wealth, NL should be last on the list.<p>- Sweden/Norway: Average (not high) salaries, high cost of living, high taxes.<p>- Spain/Portugal/Italy/Greece: Low salaries, high taxes, extreme dysfunction.<p>- Belgium/Luxemburg: Salaries can be higher than average, but I found living there depressing. Cost of living is high.<p>TL;DR Go to Switzerland. Better yet, move to US. There's no country in Europe that comes close.
