Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?


Let's see how crazy we are.

I go to Littleton (Lyman, to be exact) once a year; it had gone through vast changes. The fact that they have several record stores is a big deal and a symptom of the "hipsteria". But Vermont and Maine offer great choices too, if I could I would be as close to Montreal as possible, as the best way of being and not having to be in Europe, at the same time

@noromance  - thank you but it was also a bit selfish. We were fortunate enough to be in a position to make it happen. I had planned to retire but will now have to work a little longer - fortunately I love my job. 

Yeah, Burlington VT and surroundings, two hours from Montreal, I think. Montreal is certainly thought of as the most European city outside Europe.

Two record stores in Littleton ? Maybe it is a "hipsteria" but still a good sign overall, I suppose.

Speaking of Europe and real estate prices, you can buy small house in French countryside for not too much, and you can buy small apartment in Finnish North countryside for $25k. Average income there is lower but the prices are often lower too. American income in Europe, that's what some expatriates from the US enjoy.

yes I meant it as a good sign. As for Europe, I would go North. Not as far as Finland, but anywhere north of Latitude 53 to not roast in the July heats.
