>I bet you can have a better life in Portugal or Greece than Alabama, Mississippi Most people need to earn money through labor, and earning money is much easier in Alabama or Mississippi than in Portugal or Greece unless you have one of those jobs where it does not matter where in the world you live as long as the internet connectivity is reliable. Some are going be tempted to reply that that might be true for people whose earning target is sufficiently high, but for just earning the median income, Portugal or Greece is easier. I disagree: I say it applies all along the continuum of incomes. If you are disabled (unable to earn money) or have all the money you will ever need (as savings), then yeah, you can have a better life in Portugal or Greece.
