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)
Because there are downsides to other countries as well that many people who fantasize about moving abroad either ignore or aren’t aware of, and upside to living in USA that are difficult to duplicate in many other countries especially low cost ones.
Which downsides and upsides are you referring to?
USA has far more space. It is far easier to go camping on public land or hiking and hot see anyone. It is easier to shop with a car where you can park in front of the store. It is easier to park in general. You can go on long road trips. There is a wider variety of international food available. Salaries are often much higher. Big houses with private garages. Bigger kitchens. I could go on and on.
