Its way more afforable because: i dont need a car, my home is smaller so have less costs, more normal ro live in apartments than houses (see previous note), health care is affordable and excellent, travel in europe is so much cheaper than in the usa, cost of food in capital city infinitely cheaper than comparable city in usa. It just makes sense. I will never move back.

I've lived in Europe before. There's an old saying: The US is a great place to be rich, and an awful place to be poor. Europe is a great place to be poor, and an awful place to be rich.

Yes! Low crime, good schools, cheap drugs. Wonderful lifestyle.

Yay. Albuquerque. A city where they have massive problems with hordes of junkies smashing windows to get into cars. The US is a disaster everywhere. Just rapid decline, misery, and fraying of the social contract everywhere. Ughh. The decline is so noticeable in my lifetime. Everywhere in the US has gotten dirtier, more crude, more crass, more violent, and more rundown. The US is rapidly turning into an entire nation with tailer park culture and mentality. Plus, the worst heslthcare in the world is inescapable even if you move to a lcol area.
But much, much more diverse! That’s gotta balance out everything. We invited the entire third world here; this is the natural consequence.

You need $500k invested for five yeras and competency in Portuguese.
If you're Jewish Israel will probably take you and give you a pension.
