Where the salary, cost of living and lifestyle equate to good living

But you also have to live where there are opportunities to build a rich life for yourself. Ideally, you want to live where there are activities that interest you, clubs or associations that you want to join, and opportunities for you to enjoy the arts or nature or any hobbies you have.
