US born. 35F, bartender with 5 useless AA degrees, but I make about $50k a year. 38M french husband can’t find steady work that pays more than minimum wage. No kids, living in a tiny studio off my parents laundry room because it’s literally the only thing we can afford in CA and not be super broke. Moving to France because our $30,000 savings is more than enough for a down payment for a small farm in Normandy. France has a more livable minimum wage, everything is more affordable (other than gas), tons of trains and buses. So much easier to travel around to other countries. More and better access to affordable healthcare, more family friendly (plus, we can actually afford to think about having a kid in France, unlike here).
