[quote=Anonymous]I'm currently spending 10 months in Germany (recently arrived) as an initial trial, then we may try to move permanently. There are for sure cons. You'll likely always be a foreigner/outsider to locals, but your kids should integrate. It's a lot harder to see family, and I already live cross-country from mine when in the US. Salaries are lower, and also more "even" meaning my high paying US field does not pay as well here. Every country has its flaws, and the US has its benefits. The things I like: no guns (but honestly this doesn't really cross my mind in the US, even if it should), great bread, and importantly, there isn't so much capitalism/profits-at-all-costs. It is noticeable. I don't feel like every company is trying to scam me or squeeze every penny out of me. We had to buy civil insurance here (it is mandatory) and the agent talked us out of a policy we didn't need. Just seems more human that big cities in the US.[/quote]
