As is the case in most of the rich world. The USA is an incredibly wealthy country but the average US citizens live worse off than their counterparts around the world. The USA is also the most individually focused country. We simply do not work together even when the outcome would be better.

I'd be interested in a "How I moved to New Zealand" thread. I'm sure it isn't as simple as booking a ticket. My wife and I have been looking at early retirement locations and have visited 6 countries to date.
