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 can’t speak to the “best in the world” because I don’t know about the whole world, but the place I work for is located in 145 countries and the US by far makes the most. I am at the bottom of the pay scale (low cost of living city & haven’t worked here long) & I make over double what someone 2 levels above me (5+ years more experience) would make in London.
Similarly, I know someone who lived in Japan and made $30K USD who moved to the US and went to $150K USD doing the same job.
