I did all that math a while ago when I was offered a well paying job in California .

Bottom line was that stuff is so much cheaper here than over there, that not much would have changed. We’d be able to save up a lot of money if we were willing to live frugally in the US though.

In the end the volatility of the current American political landscape in addition to the hostile immigration laws made it unattractive to move, at least for now.
