I am just curious as to why you would leave the USA forever?

It would depend on how much money was involved, but I like to think I would:

1. Tithe
2. Split the proceeds with my mother & brother
3. Set up an account so I could live off of the interest
4. Move into a major condo (yes, I already know where)
5. Travel
6. Get a puppy
7. Write the Great American Novel
8. Repeat

MC should join me this weekend for a Bash of his kinfolk! Picture rolling meadows, filled with dozens of them - fluffy heaven!

I forgot to add that my ReMember Dues would be paid much more regularly, when I hit a lottery.

I prefer living in the UK. It's a matter of lifestyle, pace of life, and overall enjoyment. Spending a few years there, then coming back to the US...I realized how much I don't like living here. It's got nothing to do with "hating America", it's got a lot to do with generally being happy in every day life. Plus the work I want to do is more widely supported, healthcare is good, and so is the fly fishing.
