If We Had $1,000,000: Where Would We Move? (Lillehammer, Norway vs. Lucerne, Switzerland)

Brittany and Josh host a hypothetical “million-dollar” move discussion, choosing specific cities they haven’t visited yet. Josh picks Lillehammer, Norway, citing family roots, scenic valley access to nature, and Norway’s high rankings in happiness, health, and life expectancy. He compares Lillehammer’s income, taxes, rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and healthcare costs to Menasha, Wisconsin, arguing that public transit and low healthcare expenses can leave more net savings despite higher taxes. He also highlights Norwegian food, salmon, coffee culture, and a potential language requirement for work. Brittany chooses Lucerne, Switzerland for its walkable medieval old town, Swiss Alps views, bridge over the Reuss River, farm-to-table and fine-dining food culture, chocolate shops, nearby hikes, music festivals, and easy train access to Zurich and Bern, while noting Switzerland’s high cost of living.
