Here's How You Can Get PAID To Move Countries
Many nations around the world are facing affordable housing crisis leading to a lot of people feeling locked out of home ownership and without land to call their own. The world has changed quite a lot in this generation which is much the cause of the current problem. Human's have always been quite nomadic in nature travelling around the globe to different nations.
It wasn't until previous world wars where passports and visa's came into the scheme of things. 100 years ago you could just about travel to any location on the globe with dignitaries of other nations often requesting permission or safe passage from the ruling monarch of the lands. Most subjects could move about the globe and did so with relative ease so long as you had money or could work.
And that was the main driver of society, work. People would move to new places to gain employment and live close by in settlements or camps. It's why homes were quite different back then because they weren't really seen as all to permanent. Because no one ever needed a permanent dwelling they would never be able to sell for such high prices. That and you could just go pitch a tent or build a bungalow near the worksite.
Housing and Industrial Revolution
It was around the boom of the industrial revolution where personal homes became more common given that factories started popping up and agriculture was losing the employment to industry. Previously people lived and worked on farms or had your own if you could afford it.
But the Rise of Industry saw workers needing something a little more permanent to reside in and given factory workers were now being paid they were able to construct small cottages. Many without the luxuries we see today such as toilets, heating, cooling. These were basic 4 walls and a roof structures with one or two bedrooms a lounge and a kitchen which was often a woodfire stove.
Digital Revolution Homes
We're now in the third industrial revolution better known as the digital revolution and if you don't know what that is then your either not reading this article or you haven't realised that since the 20th century work has been progressively changing to Technology based with the newest leap thus far being Blockchain Technology with even finances turning digital with the launch of Bitcoin.
This revolution has completely altered the way homes look and what they include, now no longer just four walls and a roof they must include a lot more not just to the current standards of sewage, running water, electricity and gas which were included in the 1900s. We are now faced with the ever growing demand of tech inclusion into our homes.
In fact many people in today's world can not undertake basic living requirements without having some form of smart meter or device included in their homes. This on top of new building regulations and requirements, the basic home has gone from a place you just stayed in so you could be close to work. To more of a permanent place of residence that also now doubles as an investment or a retirements savings.
Get PAID to move to Antikythera the birth place of computers
If you have just watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny you might have picked up on the the name above as the film is based on the Antikythera Mechanism which was the first computer ever created by humans. It mapped the sun, stars, luna eclipse and was well in front of it's time. The hand made computer by Archimedes of Syracuse or by Posidonius at Rhodes.
And yes Antikythera is a location in Greece with an aging population that is drastically declining so they are offering to pay people 18,000 Euros over three years which equates to about 500 Euros per month.
While it only has one shop for all your needs it also is a Coffee shop and no one does coffee better than Europeans so we can probably take a punt and say it will be great coffee.
So unlike our past relatives that had to move to find work Greece is looking to pay YOU to live there. perhaps @trumpman can fill us in a little more about the location and see if he can get any of us to move there. At least we will know one person in Greece!
