But you have to think not only about you but also the others. I don't know whether you have children or grandchildren , but if you do I'm sure knowing that they will never have a bad situation is pretty nice. You can't expect all your children and grandchildren to have a well paid job and you can't finance all of them forever.
But do you want your child to immigrate because you live in a country of selfish people? I'm sure you would find the situation difficult.
By the way, the communities you are mentioning in France are French since a few generations and not foreigners.
Where? How? I... this total is about what I’m seeing for shit-tier covers-nothing insurance. Like, there are plans out there that are HCA non-conforming and not that far under $18k/year just for the premiums. Who do I talk to to get total max healthcare spending of $18,000 without an employer-provided plan, in the US? Who’s offering $12,000 annual max-out-of-pocket family plans for $500/m?
$3,600/yr individual, $0 deductible, 8k OOPL
$9,600/yr self + spouse + kid, $0 deductible, 16K OOPL
$12,000/yr self + spouse + 2 kids, $0 deductible, 16K OOPL
Although I don't really think it makes sense to compare costs based on OOPLs. For most people, the deductibles, coinsurance, and copays are much more relevant to actual costs.
So as long as a US job pays 18k more, it's pretty similar.
People talk about vacation, but my job pays so much I'll take months off between contracts. (Engineering)
Also it's hard to compare lifestyles in the US vs Europe. Homes in the US are gigantic, often newish, and have Air Conditioning. Cars in the United States are more feature rich and have higher safety standards (when I was an airbag engineer in 2015)
