Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a much better place than where I currently am. I have tried. Most of the super fancy locations have an awful local purchasing power that can't be offset with better international purchasing power. Sure you might go there for 6 years and save some money but then you will also leave again.

Meanwhile here I am in my little city with barely more than 100k people spending less than 1/3 of my income per month with the help of a stable government job. I could get more if I wanted simply by working at the largest employer in town. So why move?
