In my 50s, born in Montreal left for silicon valley as a programmer in '99. You'll make more in the US and pay less in tax.
The USA is a business and for me the only reason to be here is work. Here I need to worry about violent crime (been mugged), healthcare (took a gov't job just for the health benefits), cost of education, cost of housing (rent a room from my gf). I had a condo here which I sold. I plow my $ into ancesral real estate in Canada. In '95 I worried about Quebec separating, the language politics and 10% structural unemployment.
Given the recent coup attempt here and the rapid decline of the US home is looking better and better.
