Seems like it’s a well known fact that being poor or even middle class (if that will even exist anymore) in the US disposes one to a very low quality of life (e.g., living in areas with higher crime rates, bad healthcare, the most obvious being cost of living, …etc)

On the flip side, what are some reasons why the top 1-5% percentile would also want to leave the US? (e.g., taxes/financial benefits, no longer aligning with the culture? I would assume mainly the former)

If you are in the top 1-5%, is living in the US still the best place to live? (as many people would like to suggest)

    I like living in the us. I guess that makes me an outlier here.

    I want to retire for stretches of time outside the us, but this is my home.

      You aren’t the outlier.

      Those who dislike USA tend to be a lot louder and tend to crank the hyperbole meter up to 11 while doing so.

        it’s just honestly… the world looks so bleak and depressing in much of the US, money or not, it’s just ugly, poorly planned Isolating, generic.

        Then you step into a TukTuk in Bangkok or explore the Markets in Mexico…

        Sure there some charms in a strip of Cali or NY, but you know, even that when you are used to it becomes hum drum.
