I've only casually looked into this because my finances aren't anywhere near close enough to just pick up and leave but if you're looking for an English speaking country and you make a decent amount of money maybe Australia or New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, or Vietnam would probably be in my picks if you're willing to pick up the language.
NZ seems nice fs. i'm definitely open to a lot, though i think somewhere in the EU would have the least hassle for me. i'm lucky, my mom's from germany, so i could get dual US/german citizenship through jus sangueni or some shit. afaik, EU citizenship lets you live and work anywhere in the EU/schengen, without a permit/visa or anything.
how you feel about Ireland? that's lowkey been a dream for a while. i've also been considering germany, but there's a couple cultural turn offs (american-like individualism and everyone over 30 being the biggest rule stickler)
i have 3 more years of college, so i'm thinking about studying abroad for a semester to potentially find somewhere for when i'm older. was worried about the cost at first but i think i could actually save money from my american uni
Not the person you asked but Ireland is good in a lot of respects but I think the job and housing market is pretty rough. The social security net is generally really good though. Another alternative that is similar that gets overlooked is Scotland.
Both countries are far from utopias however.
NZ is a good country especially if you want your kids to engage in postcolonialism because, as a western English-speaking country, it's hard for me to think of a country that has made as much progress with regards to indigenous rights as NZ. It's a vast distance from being good but it's much better than its neighbour, Australia, in this respect. NZ is a bit fucked with regards to its economy though.
