I grew up in the US and have American citizenship. My partner is not American, but he has an in-demand skillset and has numerous standing job offers in the US that pay much higher than any job he could get in his home country.
Yet when we became a couple, we opted to settle in his country, not mine. My quality of life improved when I moved away.
The US is a lovely place to visit. We go as often as we can. But it's not a good place to raise a family and grow old.
- dopidopHN 3y agoYeah. Having kids and growing old in the US is terrifying. Seriously. That justify the insane salary difference alone. The amount you absolutely have to stash away to guarantee your own future safety is impressive.
- samstave 3y agoNot to mention that the US economy is effectively wholly built upon Urban-Hell-Sprawl Commercial Expansion that only pushes consumerism. If you drive through any city in the US, as compared to major modern cities around the world, while all cities have their problems, US cities and towns are downright ghetto very large fast-food plastic chain stores. Social services are a joke, politicians are a joke, transportation is a joke, etc.
