A buck or a million? A sheepfold or a mansion? Sardinia or Florida?
Let’s think this through before you board that plane.
Sardinia: Mediterranean climate, slow-paced life under persistent sunshine, average longevity for men 79, for women, 85. Cost of living? You can afford it, but don’t go thinking you can live as you live in the USA. Develop a taste for lamb and mutton. Wine. Olive oil. Occasional oxcart or flock blocking traffic. Ocean water rings the island.
Florida: Subtropical climate with hot, humid summers, potential hurricanes, average longevity for males is 74.6; for females, 80,5. Cost of living typical of American conveniences, such as numerous grocery stores, upscale stores, busy, busy, busy, but then there’s the beach. You won’t live as long, but you’ll do more than watch sheep.
Of course, the longevity of Sardinians is factored on permanent residence from birth to death, not on a processed-food body of an American emigre concerned that Trump is Hitler reborn and that men will no longer be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Still, that real estate is really cheap by American standards even though an American buck is worth only about 0.945 Euro.
But the difference in currency should not be a problem for all those celebrities who said they would move if Trump won the election. America will miss Miley Cyrus, Cher, Samuel Jackson, Amy Schumer, and so many others who have contributed so much to the country. America’s loss will be Sardinia’s gain, however. So, godspeed, celebs.
