If you want sun there are several places in the Caribbean. If you have the money Malta for citizenship quickly, Ireland after 3-5 years. If you have a lot of money Austria. If you have a mobile job Portugal for a Nomad Visa and eventual citizenship. If you want to play the long game Northern Macedonia (before they get into the EU). If you got relatively resent ancestry: Germany, Italy or Greece. Not that I’ve spend eight years researching this or anything. Thanks Brexit.This weekend’s activity is disaster preparations. I’m also looking into citizenship in another country. It’s terrifying where we are as a country…
Golden Visas are a thing as well for those able (basically, buy a long-term visa with certain investment like buying a house).

You go down the rabbit hole and you will soon realize that some are straight up money for visa/citizenship in the guise of "donations." Most of the visa/citizenship investments in the EU have eliminated the easy route of buying property to qualify. They have also increase the minimum investment and/or the residency requirements. The residency isn't a problem is you are actually moving instead of looking for an additional passport. Lativa has the system down. Lowish payment gets you residency across the EU with no physical attendance requirements. In the event that one does decide to move there the requirement for citizenship is living 4 or 5 year in country and passing a proficiency test for Latvian. That's a difficult language to learn for adults.Golden Visas are a thing as well for those able (basically, buy a long-term visa with certain investment like buying a house).

A real eye opener for me was when a friend made a serious attempt a few years ago to move to Canada. He's in his mid fifties, has a lot of money and serious skills as he designs microprocessors for some very large companies. Canada would not accept him....evidently they fear further burdening their already taxed health care system with an influx of aging Americans. Would they have been more receptive had he been in his forties? Dunno, maybe.If you want sun there are several places in the Caribbean.

Maybe there is hope for the younger generation.
Ackshually, Pluto is well outside the so-called "Goldilocks zone" that is close enough to a planet's star to support liquid water and thus carbon-based life forms. Some planetary astronomers have speculated that Pluto's warmer core may contain a liquid water ocean, but its surface is believed to consist of a permafrost of frozen methane and nitrogen, with an average surface temperature averaging between -375° and -400° F.Hah hah. Get off my space lawn!!!

As such, it would be impossible to maintain any sort of lawn on Pluto's surface.
