The U.S. is great if you actually like working and building wealth quickly. The average poor family in the U.S. can transition into the middle class within just one generation. We see that all the time. Me and my siblings were raised in a trailer park by our Filipino immigrant parents who worked in factories. Now we’re all college educated and considered upper middle class. However, I’m sick of the rat race. I want to travel across the U.S. in a van, then live overseas for a few years.

I lived in Germany twice, once in the military (3 years), and then several years later after college as a DoD civilian employee (5 years; returned to the US in 2019). Hands down the easiest way to expat to Europe is getting a job with the Federal government or perhaps a defense contractor. They even pay for your move. The US has military installations in Germany, Spain, England, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy. The key, however, is getting your foot-in-the-door. There are tons of people who retired/separated from the military/contractor/government and decided to remain in Europe. I was limited to a max 5 years, but I can't wait to return for another tour.

Health care is in almost al cases much cheaper then in the US, so even if you pay more tax, it can be compensated by low health care insurances. Also if you have kids: studying is much cheaper in most european countries then in the US. You always have to look at your personal situation and then make a total comparisment of all the costs. Also one thing not mentioned that some countries have a big bureacratie for example Italy where, mostly northern based countries, have less bureacratie. Switzerland is not mentioned. For retirement it will be an expensive country due to high living costs, but when working the cost/income balance is more then excellent ( I am Dutch but living in Switzerland )

This is a pretty good informative video. However, I really wish you included information on access to education, access to health care, allowance for multiple citizenships & overall quality of life for each country as these are all crucial in deciding if the permanent move is worth it because most factor their family whether they have kids or not. Speaking of which, info on women's rights & general cultural expectations of women in the country & relationships if single when moving there is also important. Regardless, thorough research is needed to be done individually from multiple angles & sources and how they compare to our own countries. Specifically United States, United Kingdom & Canada as they are commonly used for comparison and have decent immigration rates & certain expectations among other things. Other countries have a certain expectation too but tend to be vague or overshadowed by the ones I mentioned earlier.

I guess that all depends on the budget, cost of living, and the labor market. I would love to visit Romania, though!
