Hello Bev..

No, at this point I'm just investigating..
I'm certainly not a millionaire, but my situation is a bit different than -let's say- students..

Most people told me that it won't be a big issue if you have money.. The thing a country will not want is that you go there without money, you take their jobs, etc..

Now, none of those apply to my situation.. I have money, don't need a job in the country i will reside (I won't take a French guy's job, for example), i have retirement here and also have all my insurances, health, etc.

The problem here is that i live in a country which you pay or don't pay a tax, no problem at all (for now) for some certain jobs. Internet earnimngs is one of that.

Now, if you make $100,000 or 200,000 a year and move to a country like Italy or France, you suddenly begin passing an amount close to $40,000 (for $100k example) to the government, which makes almost HALF a MILLION DOLLARS in just 10 years..

Tough decision..
