Seriously come to Europe, you are basically forced into 30+ days of vacation and Heathcare is free, no need to save in case of an illness or fear losing your job and having no healthcare. This means more chance of saving for a house deposit. I am in the UK and as long as you move north of Birmingham the house prices are not stupid.

I actually wanted to, but that required getting a job there first. I was able to get a CS degree and now I am making more than enough here, but I am still behind and the process of starting a new career late in life has been grueling.
The midlands are absolutely lovely, highly recommend the area (specifically Swadlincote). Had a friend show me around years ago and it was a life changing experience.
I have seriously been considering moving to Europe given the rise of fascism in the US. What does the immigration process look like for an American?
No idea. Since we divorced the EU we are probably desperate for immigration though. We do not seem to have enough people for anything.
