Americans are living the American dream abroad
There is a sad truth about why a significant percentage of young and even older Americans want to move abroad because they can only live the American dream if they move out of America.
At least 9 million Americans live abroad, and roughly 1 in 4 of those living abroad want to renounce their citizenship, which would mean no longer being a citizen of the U.S. But I want to take a step back and examine why this is happening.
The sad truth as to why so many people want to leave America
Many factors contribute to why Americans want to leave the U.S., for some of them, for good.
One must also consider why Americans don’t want to live in America anymore.
But let me dig a bit deeper, starting with America’s overall quality of life.
Compared to many other advanced nations, America ranks last, even behind developing nations.
The quality of life uses different factors to determine the quality of life for each country, including personal safety, health, wellness, and access to education.
The main problem with the United States is that these studies of quality of life for the past decade have shown that the U.S. appears to have a steep decline in quality of life.
But in reality, what is most scary about this study about the U.S. is everyday working Americans face these issues every day, whether it be a lack of accessible health care and as well as the lack of adequate accommodations for those who need help financially.
Even our youngest Americans are dealing with this problem because there is even a lack of quality education.
But what makes living abroad actually better?
The question most would have is what makes living in countries like Germany or Poland any better than the one I lived in my whole life.
If most Americans have traveled abroad before and for an extended period to the point that they went to school abroad and had to go to the hospital abroad and get treated would most likely see the difference between the systems of the U.S. and other countries.
These people could become more accustomed to living abroad and decide not to return to America.
There are a lot of pros and cons that could be weighed out for someone to make that big of a decision, but those Americans end up in a massive tax loophole and end up renouncing their citizenship anyway.
But the cost of living is the major contributor towards people moving abroad. Younger Americans deserve better, yet they are not even able to live even remotely the same life their parents did when they were their age, and yet there are no changes to make it worth living in America.
These young Americans living abroad are attempting to live a life that was once attainable in America and is not a dream.
American needs to wake up and realize times have changed, and the American dream is now in jeopardy of becoming a thing of the past.
Do you think the American dream is attainable, or do you believe this died years ago and there is no such thing as the American dream anymore?
Do you know where most people live abroad to be able to live the actual American dream?
