Norway and the rest of Scandinavia is about the last place I'd want to live. So what if you live 1.3489 years longer - all the loger to freeze. And don't forget those wonderful winter days of about 6 hours, max, of daylight up there. Worse the farther north you go.
As others have said, there is no best place.
From May till October, I'd take northern Germany, around Kiel (At least I speak enough of the language to get along - I don't speak a syllable of Norwegian, Danish, Swedish). Wonderfully long summer evenings, and warm enough to be comfortable in the summer. Not far to visit some other places in Europe; just a day's drive to France or Poland.
From October to May, maybe the Bahamas - low cost of living, near enough to the U.S. to get back for family emergencies, the U.S. Dollar is the currency, nice people, and the like.
