Normally I’d agree but money-wise I’ll have it much easier in EU vs US simply bc I won’t have to pay a mortgage or rent. I can’t afford to move locally even though that has been a tempting option but housing prices are exploding - just like everywhere else- and in my area there are very limited rentals (also overpriced). Job-wise I’ve hit the jackpot, moving to a new location within the US would definitely be a downgrade in all aspects, except maybe finding more friends if it’s a bigger city.
But also the loneliness is getting to me, despite friends. And I’m always terrified of something major happening to my health and then not being able to recover financially even with insurance. Another thing is that moving home was always on the table so I can eventually take care of my mum as she gets older. I’d just be going sooner than later.
So I guess it’s a bit of both
Right now? Everything 😅 a lot of it I put on myself but here’s the rundown: Cost of living, some health issues/medical debt, overworked/a terrible work life balance, loneliness(!) and overall just a fear for the future if I stay here
