Best country in the world to live in and why?

Australia! Great people, beaches & excellent working conditions/employment Opportunities.

We also have some of the best sports teams/people in the world.

You've obviously never been to America.  Poor college kids get things called "grants" and "part-time jobs".  Education-wise, our highschool and below sucks but our college and university schools rock.

As for savings, some people live within their means and have things called IRA and 401ks.
