I think that this is really like deciding whether to move to San Antonio.

Moving there might be a lot of good, practical fun but probably won’t be drastically better or worse, on average, than moving to some other nice place in the United States.

If you have good health benefits here, for example, you might find that the health benefits are actually skimpier in Europe.

If you have young children heading into good public schools here, you might find that the schools in a country like Sweden are fine but not really that exciting.

Knowing you can send your children to college at a very low cost is wonderful, however.

Because, for you, Sweden and the rest of the EU will seem exotic, simply being there and figuring out how a grocery store works will be an adventure.

In the long run, however, wherever you go, there you are.

Sweden will be better in some ways than here and worse in others. The people will be about as good, bad, educated and ignorant as they are here.

If life is depressing here, eventually it will be depressing in a similar way there, but in Swedish.
