Why Are Americans Leaving America? | KGYT 67

Why are so many Americans leaving the United States? 

For decades, the conversation has focused on people immigrating to America. But what happens when Americans become the immigrants? 

In this episode of KGYT, I explore a growing trend that isn't talked about nearly enough. We discuss the rising cost of achieving the American Dream, why homeownership has become increasingly difficult, how COVID may have changed the way people think about where they live, and why more Americans are choosing to build their lives abroad. 

We also take a look at some of the most popular countries Americans are relocating to and ask an important question: 

Is this simply a new chapter in the history of migration, or is something much bigger happening? 

Whether you agree or disagree, my goal is to start a thoughtful conversation—not tell you what to think. 

Topics Covered: 
Why Americans are leaving the U.S. 
The housing affordability crisis 
Did COVID permanently change where people want to live? 
The top countries attracting American expats 
Cost of living vs. quality of life 
Is the American Dream changing? 
A historical look at migration and opportunity 

💬 I'd love to hear your thoughts. If money weren't the deciding factor... Would you stay where you live today, move somewhere else in your country, or relocate to another country entirely? Why?
