Take away your current location and say you decide you are going to move to the place of your dreams.
Where in the World is it?
US?
An island?
An exotic land?
Europe?
South America?
Asia?
Describe the perfect place, size of your house and what you are going to do. You have 10 years at a minimum in this location.
For me it would be one of three places:
1. Greece-never been there but dream of living an island hopping lifestyle. A small house of 800-1000 sq ft. 2 bed/2 bath and a nice outdoor area with a small plunge pool.
2. Italy-been there twice and love the location to travel all over Europe. The laid back life and food would turn me into a fat guy again but all the walking cities would help. Plus all the history. Again same size house
3. Vietnam-I would buy a nice 2Bd/2Ba condo on the beach in Nha Trang and travel all over Asia. Thailand, the Philippines, Bali, Indonesia and more. Love Vienamese food and happy endings.
Maui, Hawaii. Already own the beachfront condo that we rent out through a property management company. Plan to live there 6 months out of the year when we retire. I love the laid back vibe of Maui and it is a beautiful place to live. [Reply]

I'm planning our first trip there; I may have to hit you up with some questions whether you want me to or not. [Reply]
I haven't been everywhere yet, so I can't answer definitively. But here's what I know so far.
First, I love where I'm at. I don't really need to move even if I could live anywhere. But having said that...
I went to Funchal, Portugal, late last year, and it was pretty amazing. It's an island that's closer to Morocco than to Portugal, so it's got a great climate. The architecture was great and it had a tourist infrastructure that means you'll always have good restaurants and stuff. I think there are some visa hassles, and I don't speak Portugese, but I would consider moving there today.
Paris is also an easy choice on the international front.
Domestically, Laguna Beach, CA, is pretty awesome. My wife would move there in a heartbeat. Money is the only barrier because we don't really want to live in a cardboard box on the street. [Reply]
Money is no object. I am not allowed to move or I would have moved by now. Tampa, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Ft Lauderdale, Chicago. Any would do. [Reply]
