I would leave if I was younger too.
Thank God I've gone through menopause. |
One of my friends did this, she was planning on marrying a British citizen. He tried to move to the US but couldn't find a job. They both moved back to England when he found a position there and she was illegally employed in her profession months before they got married. They've never moved back to the US and don't plan to at this point. |
I’m not in favor of that. But there are options for those who do want that and that’s good. Being allowed to move permanently to one of those places is challenging though. |

I m an immigrant from SEA. I think USA is much better for women than a lot of places I know or came from. And I am consider upper middle class in my country.
I love the USA. It’s give me a new life. You have it so good that you take it for granted here. |
Have you been in a coma for the last decade? |

Yes, you can do that anywhere. Every country just lets people in & lets them stay as long as they want. And don’t forget to ask for your free housing, medical, & debit card. And if you go to college, don’t you dare let them charge you anything but the same or less than they charge their citizens. And the most important thing is to throw a public fit if you don’t get everything you want. |
New poster here. I lived in the UK for years and also worked in Germany for a brief period, plus many work trips to offices in Germany. Europeans make substantially less than Americans, especially at professional roles. Salaries are lower. Cost of living is still pretty high, especially in cities where the good jobs are. Many aspects of QoL is lower, such as housing and material comforts. There are some things they do well, such as national health (which still come with plenty of restrictions) and vacation policies. And I do love the cities. But European economies are more moribund and career growth is more limited. You'd be surprised by how many high performing Europeans have actually moved to the US for careers. Dubai is also hugely popular due to jobs and tax free incomes. Europe also has significant cultural and political challenges. Some economic related, others over mass migration. The latter is an enormous tension point. And, guess what, European countries have stricter abortion laws than blue America (shocker, eh?). The grass is definitely not greener on the other side of the fence and spending a week in a fancy European city center isn't a taste of real life for the typical European. I've seen a particular hysteria and that is totally clueless among young progressive American women who have no idea what life is really like outside the US. |

Who TF is talking about moving to Europe?

| We all have free will in this country. So GO! |

Well if you need a high powered job and really don't mind making $350-400k but never seeing your kids cause you're always working - the US is awesome. I lived this life and hate it now. I'm OK paying pretty much the same amount in taxes as I do now for everything under the sun but knowing my taxes do zero for me - in order to not worry about healthcare, my kids taken care of in public ed through college and most infrastructure all set. Plus I have the benefit of likely better options to travel locally in both Asia and Europe.
Dollar for dollar, you may balk at high taxes abroad but that money goes exactly where you need it to go - taking care of everyone in that country. Dollar for dollar, we Americans pay much more because our taxes go to the US govt, it's wherever they want to spend. We have to pay to take care of ourselves IN ADDITION to taxes. Everything here is about profit so our standard of living is crazy high. Again - you can live really well but I always say - time is money! |
Everyone can move here but Americans can't really up and move to other countries like that. |

Sure will be hard for the basement dwelling white boys to make the project 2025 babies then. Where will the billionaires get their labor from?
