Sadly in the US were taxed no matter where we live. We have agreements with a lot (most?) countries though so we get "credit" for taxes paid to the country we are living in.

The cost of living definitely balances things out. I just wish The Netherlands would change their stance on dual citizenship.

Marry a Dutch citizen and you can keep your other citizenship ;)

My wife is super not a fan of that plan.

The alternative is to do a work visa and then resident visa until we're 65 and then we can "opt" for citizenship which does allow for dual citizenship. It's a much longer route though.

UK is just easier for multiple reasons but comes with it's own bag of worms.

France allows dual citizenship and you can apply after five years of residence.

The fee is €55 (not a typo).

The hardest part in Europe is that after a certain income bracket, your finances barely change.
