> Are there any countries where I can live a modest quiet life, where I don't have to spend my life in front of a computer screen? You mean, if you have the money? Of course. It will be much cheaper than in the US. For example, a ~$500-750k should set you up for life in Eastern Europe. Whereas, in the states, it's probably at least double that amount. If you don't mind frugality, you could even make do with significantly less than that. But I recommend trying it out first before making this decision - living cheaply can become a drag after a year or two. Not everyone is ok with living in poor/crappy neighborhood, or sweating every small purchase at McDonalds etc.
