I am thinking this very thing but haven't decided where to move to yet.
Two friends of mine have just gone to live in Sydney, AUS and its really made me think about what I want to do with the rest of my life - go out and see the world or stay put.
I don't think I would need much encouragement to leave, right now.

I have to say that I'm in the same boat as masseur and fatreg. I'm looking at emigrating because I'm sick of the UK with it's high cost of living, high taxes, long waiting times for health care, incompetent nanny state government etc.
I know they say that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence but the way I look at it, my lawn is brown, dried out and full of weeds!
It's hard leaving family and friends but modern communications soften the blow somewhat. When I spent six months in India, I was on the phone or internet to people back home every day. I didn't miss them anywhere near as much as I thought I would.
Good luck with whatever choice you decide to make but if you're coming to the UK, make sure you get a good job because you are certainly going to need the money

This is how bad the UK is. I live in a small one bed flat, I pay £25 a month service charge, £360 mortgage p/m and £79 p/m on council tax (and its the lowest band) My council tax is MORE than my service charge!
UK is ridiculous. If I had a choice I'd be living in Greece. I love it over there.

Cyco is right, its mega expensive. Driving, taxes, cost of living, property, Dental care it all adds up to a hefty sum.

a lot of things are indeed needed to be weighed-in. consider all the pros and cons, and in the end... do whatever that will make you happy. go for it (them). goodluck, mate!

So you all say it is to expensive to live in UK.
How much you should be earning in order to live in London? I know this a big scale. Let's say you have a car(max 5 years old). You go out nights twice a week.

Depending on where you live, you would need to earn about £20k at least to have a decent lifestyle, I reckon.
