If you could live middle-class anywhere, then where? Why?

scottwww · 03-10-2007, 11:08 AM

If you had nothing keeping you where you are (family, job, possesions, debt, etc.) and had oppurtunity to be accepted in the middle class wherever you chose to live, in what country (as they exist today) would you want to live? Choose any that apply.

30 United States
17 Australia
13 Canada

8 Switzerland

scottwww · 03-10-2007, 11:42 AM

I ticked off a few that I THINK I would like. If I knew more about the other places, maybe I would add to my selections.

///MWA · 03-10-2007, 12:01 PM

UAE,Dubai,The Palm Jumeirah.I dont know why

oneshare325 · 03-10-2007, 12:08 PM

Seattle, WA. It is far enough from home but not too far! Plus I love rain!

This is kinda weird But I am a clean freak, in between Jerry Seinfeld and Monk, and for some reason I associate rain with clean!

Weird reasons huh??

findtom · 03-10-2007, 12:14 PM

Vancouver or London, but I'd only want to live in either of those places if I had a high income.

On a high income, just about anywhere is pretty great.

scottwww · 03-10-2007, 01:45 PM

In early poll results, the most popular country is Switzerland with two votes.

just4kickz · 03-10-2007, 01:51 PM

Dubai would be amazing... but its a tourist area... not exactly somewhere i'd actually like to live.

I like california the best...

That's just "rush-hour".

scottwww · 03-10-2007, 04:16 PM

Updated early returns (3/10/2007 10:12 PM GMT).
United States with 5 votes is the first choice to live in the middle class.

F30Toad · 03-10-2007, 05:15 PM

Mine is not on the list.

Tahiti or more specifically Bora Bora.

bavarian19 · 03-10-2007, 05:17 PM

Who voted for Estonia?!?!? I have a cousin who lives there...

picus · 03-10-2007, 05:20 PM

I'd pick Canada or Austria. I had to pick one so I picked Canada. It's a great country to live.

You don't own a jet black car that's why.

I think Tahiti is like the US Virgin Islands. It is not a nation. I am not very up on Tahiti or French Polynesia information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahiti

It looks like a fun place. It brings back memories of the beach in Jamaica.
