[quote=Anonymous]When you have money in the US, a lot of what is "wrong" with the country fails to affect you in any meaningful way. So why move?

We don't move, because this is home. We have friends and family here. Our daughter can have the best higher education here.

It has been my experience, based on both traveling, and having a friends circle that encompasses people from other parts of the world, that it is easier to integrate into society in the US than it is elsewhere, especially if you are a POC. A LOT of parts of Europe and SA are overtly or covertly racist, in a way that you are unlikely to encounter in your day to day life living in the DMV (but might if you moved elsewhere in the US, but it's a big country, and you have options).

Because I am from India, I can always go back there. We have roots there. I don't want to move back, because I don't feel at home there anymore. The crowds, the pollution, the noseyparkering, it's all a non-starter. I like my low-key life here, where I can be rich, and not only does no one know, they wouldn't care if they did.[/quote]
