    If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and what would you do for a living?

    Lets assume you have no debts and EUR 500,000 to move and get set up.

    Personally it would be Phuket and a beach bar that was well known for great live music.

    Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan.

    The locals worship you like a god who can do no wrong if you have a few pound in the bank (or used to have it)

    not a fairytale money no object nonsense. You have enough to get set up modestly with a home and small business. E500k would just about buy a shoebox apartment in NY. What do you do then?

    nothing half assed about it. A good few people could aspire to have E500,000 at some stage and want to start a new life abroad.

    There are lots of 'if you won the euromillions' type threads if you want to live in fantasy land.

    Most Spanish people I have met reckon there are lots of better places to live in Spain than Barcelona.

    On page 2 and only 2 replies that have a place and business idea.

    C'mon folks ye must have some idea.

    Vancouver, Canada looks like an amazing place. By the sea, surrounded by mountains, forests and just miles after miles of wilderness.
