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)
If you are 1-5% the US is very good place to live, but I would argue the best place will depend from personal taste.
I think many will simply arbitrage their wealth, and simply don’t the US market. While you live very well in the US with a net worth of 10m, there are places where you will a kind for that amount while getting more safety and better infrastructure.
