- brodo 4y agoWhat country did you move to?
- knallfrosch 4y agoProbably Spain. You're destroying their property market, but at least you're on the winning side this time.
- arthur_sav 4y agoI wouldn't consider Spain low tax. Perhaps lower than Sweden but it's not low. UAE

- 4gotunameagain 4y agoSo instead of contributing back to the Swedish welfare state that raised and educated you, you decide to move to a petrodollar country so you spend less on taxes. I get it. Sounds sustainable and not the least egocentric.
- badpun 4y agoUnless he was an orphan and raised in a state orphanage, his parents already paid a lot of taxes, which presumably covered the education of their children?
- rullelito 4y agoCan't recommend this more. I moved out of Sweden and worked in UK tech for 7 years, earned a filthy amount of money, and are now moving back to Sweden to settle down.
- lawn 4y agoI stayed in Sweden but moved away from the towns and my effective income almost doubled as well.
