Why We Left America! The Top 5 Reasons!

Why we left the U.S. / America. The Top 5 Reasons. A year ago, we finally left the U.S. and moved to Europe, with the intent of never permanently living in the U.S. again. This is also a testament that, Yes, you can move abroad with kids. We hear that all that time from our friends and family, that it's too difficult or they don't want to uproot the kids. What we've found is that our kids have adapted more quickly than we have to this new experience. So hopefully this will inspire you to consider leaving the U.S. as well.

Hi Yaht, just subscribed. What a great father you are, putting your family first and moving (which couldn't have been a quick decision) to a country that will give your kids the best opportunities. They'll be fluent in a second language, able to enjoy European culture and food and with the research you've done - the safety index for example - your children will likely grow up to be in awe of the decisions you've made. Hopefully your influence rubs off on them and they eventually follow your lead with their own families when they're of an age that they're living independently.

I've always found it peculiar that socialised healthcare isn't something that America has embraced, from the outside, it looks as if 'socialism' is a dirty word over the pond, and a significant proportion of people have never questioned it; a healthy population is a productive population and are therefore more likely to be able to work and pay tax, making the cost less of a national burden. in 2022 the US spent approximately $13, 493 on each citizen for health provision, Germany spent (on a 2023 report) 5, 699 Euros per person - so effectively the US system sees them spending far more per person than countries who have socialised healthcare and treats people equally. Yes, we pay more tax, but we don't have to traverse the challenges of insurance, co-pay or exclusions.
