Why So Many Americans Are Leaving the US

Описание: More Americans than ever are questioning life in the United States and many are actively planning to leave.

This video explores why so many people are leaving the US, or at least seriously considering it. Rising cost of living, housing affordability, healthcare stress, political tension, car-dependent cities, food quality, and a weakening sense of community have pushed people to rethink what “a good life” actually looks like.

I didn’t leave the US because I hated it.
I left because staying wasn’t working anymore.

In this video, I break down the main reasons Americans are moving abroad, based on both personal experience and what I’m seeing from other expats and former Americans around the world. This isn’t a how-to guide or financial advice — it’s an honest look at why the idea of leaving the US is resonating with so many people right now.

Whether you’re just curious, quietly researching, or already planning your exit, I hope this gives you some useful perspective.
