I had not realized that PG and his family moved to England. I also recently moved from California to England, so would be fascinated to learn more about the genesis of PG's move. (As an aside: I sometimes hear my kids late at night trying to convince their friends back in California to ask their parents to move here. Anecdotally it does feel like many families are considering it. Of course I have an availability bias here.) Does anyone know of any essays or interviews where PG discusses his decision to emigrate?

PG is British. Born in England. So not sure emigrate is the right term. He must have had a strong connection with family back in UK his whole life. He's also American, so moving between US and UK must feel pretty fluid.

  > PG is British. Born in England. Yeah, he simply went back to where he was born to raise a family. The salmon move.

  you say he's paying double taxes both in US and UK ?

    Very broadly and simply speaking you can write-off UK taxes against the US tax bill and vice versa. There's much more nuance than that though.

>In the summer of 2016 we moved to England. We wanted our kids to see what it was like living in another country, and since I was a British citizen by birth, that seemed the obvious choice. We only meant to stay for a year, but we liked it so much that we still live there. http://paulgraham.com/worked.html http://paulgraham.com/worked.html
