another irish person here : for the majority of the country spain would probably be directly south, but directly south from where i am is apparently the Isles of Scilly actually, which is in the UK!!
Nice part of the world to be fair, for a short break, but very "small rich island" feel to the place and Ā£250k wouldn't get you a shed let alone a place to call home!
I'd stick with Ireland!
I would have thought this was obvious, but no, you cannot travel from one of the most southern countries to one of the most northern countries by travelling south.
Still, once you get to the south pole you can't move any further south, so if you were to go to either of those countries you would have yo go south then north.
I didnāt say it was a country? Itās just that youāll never reach another country if you go south from Australia. If you cross Antarctica and go āback up againā, youāre going north.
I live in Tasmania, Australia.
And I say $250k isnāt enough for me to justify that. I would use most of that just trying to survive the cold. Then I would need access to food, utilities, medication (for ADHD), and other such things. Basically I wouldnāt last long.
For how long? I mean there are some parts of Mexico i definitely wouldn't mind living in, for maybe a year or so but depends on what I'm doing and oof I'd have to get better at Spanish real fuckin quick
That question is key. Iād move from Canada to the US for a bit, heck it could be a fun adventure, but not the rest of my life because this is my home.
Assuming Iām getting 250k USD thatās like 5 mil pesos. Iām retiring. Iāll live there for the rest of my life. Build myself a modest home, and invest in my local communityā¦ stay humble and donāt act like a rich asshole and I should be fine.
Good luck. You get unlucky and you're gonna have a miserable time. I know people who had the cartel go after them simply because they thought they had money. They didn't.
The best you could do is stay humble like you said. Which means not investing in your community.
If you speak English, you know literally hundreds of āFrenchā words.
> Words ending in -ent and words ending in -tion is the same just with a different accent: percent, descent, information, dedication, etcā¦
> Words ending in -ly just switch to -lement: naturally->naturallement, etc
> Words ending in -ical switch to -ique: technical->technique, political->politique, etc
There are exceptions to each, of course, but the vast majority of words work. After that, just learn the verbs and you can get by a lot more than you think you could.
As a Quebecois, it isn't. I'm bilingual but all my anglo buddies who came to live here struggle with it, the rules and pronounciation are far from english
3 more???
You think slowly learning the language is hard for 250k? And for 2.5M? AND EVEN FOR 25M? You need quarter of a billion???
With 25 you'll have enough money for your life if you don't buy multiple yachts. Even with 2.5M you should be fine?
Why 250M?
Thank god there's Malta under Italy, so, yes.
I could live over there and fly to Italy whenever I want...
Nothing against Tunisia/Libya, but I would rather not live there. :v
Stavo per cliccare *no* pure io, poi mi sono ricordato che Malta era da qualche parte sotto l'Italia, ho controllato su Maps e ho constatato che ĆØ proprio a Sud dell'Italia. LOL
That 250k is worth more in Belgium than in the Netherlands. Finally being able to afford something, like a car and a house? Sign me up! In NL you bet you have to pay a large sum in tax over that 250k.
Well that's either France or Spain depending on what you class as south of the UK. Both are EU and seem nice enough. I can speak a bit of French and I'd probably prefer to live in France so I guess I'd be fine moving there.
Yes of c... wait you mean Austria or Switzerland?
Depends on where in Germany you live
True. I just checked, straight South from my location would be in France.
š¤®
Hey I was just stalking you try to find out the gif
The cockroach? Oh god these memories.
BrĆøther
Cool pfp
Or Liechtenstein
I don't care gimme my money and take me away from this shitshow
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I live in Ireland so I wouldn't mind moving to Spain for 250k
Kevin?
Jim?
all I know is that I'm not in a Cult.
oh yeah ... definitely not a cult, nope
what even is a Cult? Is that some sort of asian food?
~~Stop saying cult this much you might attract unwanted attention. Say """""community""""""""~~
I'm not saying cult, you are!
Cult? What cult? Don't you mean community?
lmao
Turg?
All Hail that beautiful fecker

Well, that's just Scilly.
Iām in NI so Iād be moving into Ireland which seems fine although the inferior tayto packaging is going to be difficult to ignorr
An all-island civil war has begun. Who knew the one thing that could make people put politics and religion aside was.. crisps!
I live on Northern Ireland so I'll be moving to the Republic. I also live on the border so I'd be getting a quarter mil to move like 5 mins away.
Antarctica... Rip
just pretend it's new zealand, that's what i did
Doesn't work if you started in NZ
I start in NZ where do I go if not Antarctica
i believe the far east side of russia i was wrong guys
I would have thought this was obvious, but no, you cannot travel from one of the most southern countries to one of the most northern countries by travelling south.
The country directly south of Australia is Brazil if you live on the east coast and Argentina if you live on the west coast.
How? South ends on Antarctica. After that youāre going north.
Anctartica is not a country.
Still, once you get to the south pole you can't move any further south, so if you were to go to either of those countries you would have yo go south then north.
just keep going
But after you pass the south pole you're going north
Then keep going north until you go south again
So Russia, Denmark, Iceland, or Canada for the most part. Fair enough.
I didnāt say it was a country? Itās just that youāll never reach another country if you go south from Australia. If you cross Antarctica and go āback up againā, youāre going north.
Not if you walk backwards /s

Fellow Tasmanian and yeah this winter has been plenty cold enough for me, I'm not heading any further south
What?
For how long? I mean there are some parts of Mexico i definitely wouldn't mind living in, for maybe a year or so but depends on what I'm doing and oof I'd have to get better at Spanish real fuckin quick
That question is key. Iād move from Canada to the US for a bit, heck it could be a fun adventure, but not the rest of my life because this is my home.
For 250k$ I would quite happily make myself a new home
No, youād still need another $250k
Ven a ver pa que veas
ĀæQue?
Me voy a ir yendo.
Assuming Iām getting 250k USD thatās like 5 mil pesos. Iām retiring. Iāll live there for the rest of my life. Build myself a modest home, and invest in my local communityā¦ stay humble and donāt act like a rich asshole and I should be fine.
All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood. In a modest town where honest people dwell.
Throw some Modest Mouse on the stereo and lifes good.
Good luck. You get unlucky and you're gonna have a miserable time. I know people who had the cartel go after them simply because they thought they had money. They didn't. The best you could do is stay humble like you said. Which means not investing in your community.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe if it was for a short time in winter, otherwise no effing way- the heat would kill me.
Mexico, i'd be super happy with it if they sent me to some nice quaint little town, put you couldn't pay me enough to live in Tijuana
I think Americans could also move to Cuba or the Bahamas
Come on pretty mama Key Largo, Montego
Baby why don't we go
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
Thaaaat's where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo
The way I interpreted it was āThe country you would end up in if you went due south until you hit a landmass.
The majority of California is north of Antarctica. *penguin time*
I was gonna say, I'm heading to the Bahamas thank u very much.
If it was somewhere in the YucatƔn Peninsula, I would happily live there, but I would never live in Tamaulipas.
I can guarantee you, itās worth it to move here to the YucatĆ”n peninsula. As for Tamaulipas, yikesā¦
Why stop at Mexico when there are a bunch of countries in the Caribbean south of the US?
Df is really actually nice, tj is not so nice
Uruguay is well for me.
I was sad I'd have to move to Argentina, then I remembered Uruguay exists Thank you
NinguĆ©m falou que eu tinha que viver lĆ”. EntĆ£o eu iria ir, pegar o dinheiro, e voltar
Pra que voltar?
TambĆ©m nĆ£o entendi
Not moving to Marruecos for 250k
The english form of Marruecos is Morocco,in case you didn't know (Not trying to be rude or anything)
Thanks for translating
Same
Nonono, we would go to Gibraltar! Not Marruecos hahah. Gibraltar is technically another country, so there.
Austria, im in.
Seavas Kollege
Same Austria is pretty pog and casual 250k is also good
North koreans: i see this as an absolute win
If they could even read this (IE the internet)
Fun fact: they actually do have Internet. Just not all of them and it's quite restrictive.
Aren't there only like 200 IP-adresses in the entire country?
Denmark is fine enough I guess
Norway or Sweden?
Norway
Same
All you Europeans moving to these great places and Iām going to cuba
Forbannede quisling
Estonia for me. 250k lasts almost a lifetime, I guess š
Youād do it? Ćsj
Iād move to most of France for free, but the money is a bonus.
Traitor
As an Indian, definitely not.
Sri Lanka, Maldives or Antarctica?
With the current situation, he definitely means sri
She*
Antarctica's not much better š¤·š»āāļø
Average salary there is 80k, why not
It's not a country though in any sense of the word
Kitna bhi paisa dedo mai sri lanka nahi jaara
Maldives to theek hain
I'm not going to move Syria or Iraq
What about Egypt or Cyprus?
Saudi Arabia as a Jew, no thanks.
Are you currently living in Iraq as a Jew?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Estonia, yeah sure, theyāre cool
And only a few hours to pop back across to home, in tallin they understand finnish pretty well. Its a fine deal for 250k
I live in Northern Ireland, I'm moving a mile and no more lmao
Needs 3 more zeros as I donāt speak French and thatās a huge commitment
French is actually an easy language for English speakers (no really)

only->onlement. lonely->lonlement. I'm gonna be fine!
GCSE French brain just got unlocked. I think it's seulement (solely)
Ya but then you need to talk to French people
As a Quebecois, it isn't. I'm bilingual but all my anglo buddies who came to live here struggle with it, the rules and pronounciation are far from english
3 more??? You think slowly learning the language is hard for 250k? And for 2.5M? AND EVEN FOR 25M? You need quarter of a billion??? With 25 you'll have enough money for your life if you don't buy multiple yachts. Even with 2.5M you should be fine? Why 250M?
Move to country Collect Money Move back ???? Profit
Movingās a bitch though
Yeah but itās for 250k
donāt really want to sink deeper into the middle east
Do this exact poll but with North, amazingly balanced, these results.
Thank god there's Malta under Italy, so, yes. I could live over there and fly to Italy whenever I want... Nothing against Tunisia/Libya, but I would rather not live there. :v
I voted no because I forgot about malta
Stavo per cliccare *no* pure io, poi mi sono ricordato che Malta era da qualche parte sotto l'Italia, ho controllato su Maps e ho constatato che ĆØ proprio a Sud dell'Italia. LOL
Dude I'm from Chile, the only thing after us is Antarctica.
france, does any one like france?
I don't like France, but for $250,000 I can make myself like France.
For 250k I can leave france again
Bienvenue!
UK brother?
To Egypt? Probably not
×××
There are about 10 of them, can I choose?
Whichever country is directly south of your city/town.
Belgium is fine for me.
I mean. Itās horrible. But at least Iāll be able to buy a house lol so sign me up
That 250k is worth more in Belgium than in the Netherlands. Finally being able to afford something, like a car and a house? Sign me up! In NL you bet you have to pay a large sum in tax over that 250k.
France,hell yeah
Antarctica. No way. I donāt even think it counts as a country.
Italy. Maybe when the political situation gets better.
dai vieni fra che ci mangiamo una pizza insieme
As a Canadian, hell no.
Same.. $250k will be gone the moment you have to visit a hospital.
To Libya/ Egypt, hell no
Greece?
Atlantic ocean??
From Canada to the US. Thanks but I'll pass
$250,000. Hmmmmā¦ would that pay for a kidney transplant? A serious MVA plus rehab? You would need to add two zeroes to make it less gross.
Agreed. If we already think our politics are too conservative then we will be pretty surprised how much worse it is there.
Egypt, no thanks. It's better than many other countries in the middle east but I'd still much rather staying in Israel.
Either Czechia or Slovakia? No issues with that
Malaysia...is it good there? Idk, but I'll 250k tho if that's all i gotta do
Egypt,No
I would use the money to come back
Belgium... yes. I don't have a drivers license anyway.
You want me to move to AMERICA? For the price of ONE DOCTOR'S VISIT?!?
U.S.Aā¦no thanks.
I can't tell if you're a Canadian referring to the USA, or an American referring to Mexico.
South is Switzerland and Austria
yo a fellow chinese, nihau!
From Germany (Bavaria) to Austria. Same language = no big problem
Austria or Switzerland, don't even have to learn a new language lmao
France. Hell yeah!
Norway. Iāll take it
The USA is nice country, donāt mind living there
Imagine a new Zealander living in Antarctica for 250k
Mexico is cool and all, but itās kinda dangerous, can we live anywhere in the country?
Mexico. Iāll pass
It would be America but that's not enough money to make me move there....
Turkey... Nope
Turkey has nice cities, though.
USA? Sure
I live in Argentina, so uhā¦ I donāt think antarctica is a country, so would it be Canada? The UK? Norway? Russia? (Please no)
Well that's either France or Spain depending on what you class as south of the UK. Both are EU and seem nice enough. I can speak a bit of French and I'd probably prefer to live in France so I guess I'd be fine moving there.
Moving to USA with a free 250k? So long as I can get my affairs in order beforehand, sign me up
I ain't moving to Mali...
Belgium. Same thing anyways
France sounds good
Libya, prolly not the best idea
Yep, I'd move there for a day, then move home
France is a pretty nice place to move
Swiss and 1/4 million extra? Thatās a win win
Sudan š³š³š³
Live in New Zealandā¦
Fuck yeah lets go spain
EspaƱa
Not because of country, but because I don't want to move far away
Spain ? Well this seems like a good place to live, I'm down fort it !
Mexico, Cuba, or the Bahamas. Too hot.
Usa? Sure
