Keep in mind that in the States health insurance is a function of full-time, reasonably well-paid work. When this ceases, you have, I think, 18 months of COBRA which lets you pay 100% rather than 20% of your previous health insurance while you look for work. This number can grow rather large as one's age and/or family increases. This also acts as a problem-to-surmount when retiring before 65.
Housing costs might/will be higher in parts of the States than elsewhere, and one pays in life quality to get the cash at times. It depends on what you're interested in doing I guess.
