I've lived in the Bay Area for six years, made a bunch of money and am now moving back to the EU to enjoy said money.

You make a lot more $$$, but it's definitely a big lifestyle downgrade. I wouldn't wanna live there permanently, but as a temporary thing to set yourself up nicely it's not too bad.

Are you planning to move to a major metro-region in the EU or somewhere more quiet?

I'm a city person, so I'm currently eyeing Amsterdam.

It's not exactly cheap, but still a lot better than the Bay, plus it has a lot of the things I'm looking for - a working transportation system, social cohesion and a generally socially liberal attitude (this was the one thing the Bay Area does better than a lot of Europe!)
