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)

    This is specially true if you are in one of the big cities in the US (NY, Bay Area). For my job, I’d probably make 20-25% in Europe vs what I make in the US

      What job? Teaching? Nothing pops out at me as being more lucrative in Europe than the US (with the exception of jobs in Switzerland)

      I’m just curious!
