[quote=Anonymous]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!
