    It’s not a popular view, but the US does have some pretty great salaries. I think FIRE people have the best chance of success in the US.

    That said, the work experience here is pretty exploitative and not at all engineered to give a good life. If you want a family, and want that family to enjoy their life with a reasonable work life balance, the US is not a great place.

      I guess that depends on what op’s job is. It could be a US job that can be done entirely online. But yeah, the only redeeming quality about working in the US is the high salaries in high demand jobs and tones of companies to choose from.

      The US has good salaries, but the cost of living is too high. FIRE is what everyone should be doing, but one mistake or accident can really screw things up. The main difficulty for people trying to do FIRE is the cost of house and transportation.
