[quote=FlyerInHi]To be fair, asking spdrun to love it or leave it is lame. He grew up in here and is familiar with the real estate environment. That’s his home and he’s entitled to his opinions.
But, flu, you do have a point about money. Many Americans live abroad because their money goes further and they live better then the local population. So it does come down to consumption, what you can do with money, and relative social standing.
Scaredy had a good quote about money being the elixir of life or something like that. You can’t avoid it unless you join a monastery, or get off the grid to live alone in the country. To live in the big city, enjoy cafes and companionship, you need money. The more the better.[/quote]
I wasn’t asking him to love it or leave it. I’m just surprised he’s still in the US just base on how much he hated he. So, love it is not even an option. He claim he’s only here long enough to extract some $ from the US economy before he leaves and he’s counting down the day till he leaves. So, I was just asking why he didn’t leave yet, because I would have left a long time ago.
