Non-financial reasons for moving to the USA
Me (UK citizen) and my wife (US citizen) have gone back and forth for years now on moving to the USA. The main benefit seems to be financial in terms of higher salaries and lower tax rates. But given we make £180k/$220k joint already we’d need to go straight onto a high paying job as soon as we arrive for the finances to stack up.
My question is if there are any non-financial benefits to moving to the US? Our support network is in the UK (both sets of parents), we enjoy a lot of the things London gives us (theatre, restaurants, museums, Wimbledon, Ascot etc.), food standards are higher and we live in a very walkable neighbourhood.
All that said, is it worth giving up the non-financial benefits to escape the high marginal tax rates in the UK? And are there any big non-financial benefits you see in moving to the USA?
