Next time you have to add USA, forty years ago, when I emigrated to US, I thought I was in the dream land. What is happening in this country is just heartbreaking, I’m 66 already, I wish I knew then what I know about this country now. I feel all my hard work and my dreams shattered just before my eyes. My age folks usually looking forward for retirement and enjoy their retirement, sadly I’m panicking for uncertainty and aggressive government policies towards elderly people, everything is out of reach for retired people, the rent, food, safety. US government no longer has respect for their citizens I don’t know in the past some how they were pretending they are. Government intentionally creating racial division, instead of uniting people.
As immigrant, now American who’s lived here her whole life, I’m sadly not surprised to see USA in this list… What’s happening to this country is truly heartbreaking
Yes, it is. Greed, corruption and poor leadership at all levels, not limited to certain politicians but to politicians in general. The push of racial divisions. Wage disparity, ie.
I agree that Vancouver has a mild climate compared to the rest of Canada since it's right on the Pacific Ocean. Makes one wonder what other things this video got all wrong.
I'm sorry for the most part I understand why ex pats don't like their new homes but the one thing that kept popping up that I don't understand is the English speaking part. If your moving to a country that doesn't speak English you should learn their language first at least enough to get by day to day. That's very ignorant to assume just because you going to live in a big city in a different country thatt alot of people will speak English. English is the language of corporate and diplomats around the world not down in the streets and stores of everyday people in foreign countries.
We went to Vietnam for our vacation and stayed in Ho Chi Min City. We had a great time. People were actually pretty nice. Food and everything else was cheap.
Would like to visit Vietnam , have in Spanish a chronicle of the War, 65,000 Americans died & as you say a nice place to visit , not far away have a friend a retired Col ,that flew F6 in Vietnam said he felt shame at killing families & children , the most iconic foto that poor girl on fire from Napalm , how could you treat a human so, oh yep let's spray chemicals to kill the trees . Live in the small village of Gaianes with my 58 year old Companion MariCarmen, limited to a 3.3 kW supply , we use a fair bit , the Jan / Feb bill was €11.37. Lots from Solar & some nuclear ,a wonderful free health system ,good nutritious food , very cheap citrus fruits , friends have given us 10 l of virgin olive oil , best in the world ,who do we thank for that , well Romans !
I live in the small village of Gaianes in Spain , re the litter , none here most of us recycle properly & towns pat well for street cleaners & the bins provide treasures , books etc !
Already fluent in French, having owned an apment for 30 yrs, when I relocated here I am miserable. The adm details are intended to obfuscate a broken social system. As a physician, once hospitalised the care was sub minimal. The staff poorly trained, limited range of medications, it was pre-reap;utionary France with levels of power over patients that was against everything I knew as appropriate medical care in the US. Treatment is like an Old Ford plant, you are an inanimate object on an assembly line: don't let your fingers venture far or they will be cut off. Everything I experienced in 3 hospital visits were third world quality. With wealth in France there is a different way of life. Despite an Ile St Louis spacious home, etc., I regret having made the move.
Hi. Your comments surprise me. Perhaps the reputation of the French healthcare system is overrated? When I was there for nine days in November 2023, I saw a group of about 20 people standing outside in the drizzle waiting for something to open, and it was a medical clinic. While I loved Monmartre/Clichy, the amount of scammers there dismayed me.
@@danaleanne38 I'm thinking the same thing (lol). As someone who lives in Toronto and takes public transit, while it has it's challenges sometimes, it's not bad over all. And it hasn't been all that cold in the last few years actually.
I thought that sounded weird. I used to live in Washington state in the 80s, not too far south of Vancouver. It never got anywhere near that cold. Winters were long but not that harsh.
Know a a fellow soldier who moved to Germany in the eighties. The reason was he lived in Santa Monica after the army. On average he would see a crime or the results of one about ever two weeks and he realized the situation was going to get worse. Looking back he said it was a very wise decision. He can work around his area without a care and there's very little next to no crime. He said most Germans have the sense not to get involved with drugs.
Now there's a perfect example of how fast things can change--Germany! Did you know that most people, including , were quite safe in Germany at one time and even had German citizenship unlike other European countries, until Hitler came along? And did you know that the nazi era in Germany only lasted about 12 years from beginning to end? And do you remember that the nazis destroyed Germany in that short period of time. Just because things look good on the surface does not mean things will stay that way. They can change in the blink of an eye anywhere.
UK weather and natural disaster resistance is actually a plus in my opinion. No freezing winters or scorching summers isn’t a bad thing. Nor is no earthquakes, volcanoes and ultra high winds or monsoons.
I'm Canadian. Winter is super cold in the north but ok in the South. Québec is not as expensive as Vancouver. Canada is a big country, there's good and bad. But we're the only country where you can have 4 seasons in one day, those who live here know what i'm talking about😅
This guy is real sharp and knowledgeable. Quotes of 40 below in Vancouver? Maybe during the last ice age. Vancouver may have a handful of winter days below freezing and typically little snow. This whole narrative is highly suspect. Need a fact check.
Agree, that Vancouver, being on the Pacific Ocean, never gets that sort of long-term cold, and it does make the rest of the narrative in this video suspect.
I was raised in Brazil! You won’t get by with Spanish, it’s not our language! Everything is highly expensive and violence is on the rise! Good thing: The brazilians are amazingly fun and kind.
In Brazil people speak Portuguese...but everytime l go there they understand me when l speak in spanish cause our languages are so close and they share latin roots and also are classified as roman languages...there are some variations but most the time lm able to understand what the locals say....
About Canada: Transit in Toronto will take you wherever you need to go including ferries to the islands. Unfortunately it is no longer as safe as it once was. As for housing, in Toronto houses can easily exceed $1,000,000.
Expect huge delays on public transit in Toronto! Pack your patience, commutes are long, the subway line is limited. Housing far more expensive than a million dollars.
@@lisafiore7081 The housing prices vary depending on where in Toronto you are buying. My granddaughter takes transit sometimes and she has no problem. That probably also depends on where. Our subway is quite comprehensive. It's probably not as good as it used to be as we get our ideas from Europe.
I lived in Brazil 50 years ago! It's funny how you can live in a military dictatorship and because you can't understand the news, it doesn't bother you in the least. Glad I got back to the U.S. in time to buy a house and live happily ever after.
I left my western country (on this list) for a lovely East Asian country (not on this list). But since foreigners seem to ruin good things, like Palestine), I'll not mention my new country so People can continue to choose countries on this list instead.
I don't know why so many go to Europe,things are going to get very bad,very quick,I don't think Africans have a clue about what happened in Europe in the 1930-40s and will happen again.Africa has so much potential.
I am in Vietnam and I can confirm that the #1 problem is litter. I had been here to visit 3 times before so I knew that going in but I chose to move here anyway. ❤ If they could just get the litter problem figured out, this could truly be a beautiful country.
Yes I too was disgusted with the rubbish everywhere, it is out of control. My Vietnamese wife wanted me to move there but I was turned off by the rubbish as well as the government there.
timslater566, I totally agree with you. I have many Scots in my family. Why couldn’t at least a few stayed in Scotland? I have been there and felt so at home I didn’t want to leave. I love the highlands more than the lowlands. Have you been there?
It's VERY SURPRISING to get to -40c in Vancouver as it's a temperate maritime climate. This year we had a record -27 but it more usually get to around -5. I've lived and ridden around the city all year round for 15 years and transit is actually pretty good in the city.
In my opinion Vancouver has some of the best transit in the world. When we moved there from Southern Ontario I realized I didn't need to keep a vehicle of my own any more.
İmmigrate yourselves , your Offices,your companies to North Cyprus Lefkose and enjoy all kinds of affordability , ease of passing your idle times with swimming in the seas of Girne Lapta, İskele, Lefke, Afrodite Residences Seasides within half an hours and 1 hour drives.
Malaysia is the best in the world . Same weather 365 days . Health care is almost free . Immediate attention , many top class private hospital, foods are cheap and abundance , 600sf apartment rental is cheap . Owning a car is cheap . Petrol/ gas is 43 cents per Litre ...
What about salary level and working hours in Malaysia? Many countries are "cheap" from a US- or EU-perspective. A friend of mine is planning to move permanently to Thailand. He has earned his money in (and will get his pension from) Germany, though.
@@mba235mba235 It's funny how many Americans on both sides are freaking out about our political system right now, but those same Americans could live in a country in far worse shape where they don't know the language and think it was great.
The demand for racism in the U.S. is in far greater demand than supply. This is why there are so many hoax race incidents that hit the news. The elites in the political establishment insist that the people in America are racist, but the people who judge people by their skin color are the elites and their minions who accuse others of being racist.
I am 71 years old, and have lived in the US my whole life. It matters where you live! I live in a beautiful State and small town. I live in the high desert and close to Zions National Park. We have very low crime, great schools and a great hospital with amazing care. We moved here from Phoenix in 1980. Most people speak English, but they are hard working and good. No place is perfect. The worst thing is the prices of housing , but being retired the State helps keep our rent fairly affordable. I love the mountains and scenery. We raised our 4 children here, and have never regretted our move. They all are successful adults who have families. Our children and grandchildren had the kind of start in life that we wanted for them. No place is perfect, but not all of the US is bad. We love our country and pray that it will make a change for the better! I guess I am an eternal optimist because I believe in miracles! We definitely need some!!
@@Qkat11o yes if you pay attention to the news media that may be true, but don’t forget there’s 350 million People and a lot of them live very nice lives in nice places. i’m in Northern California and I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

My ex & our 2 young sons had a 6 week free holiday based in Mt Bethel even saw the Twin Towers intact ,1974 , my racist hosts had a black cook that made lovely pecan pie ,we visited the New York state winemakers & the Corning museum ,peaceful then we didn't need to carry a gun !
Wouldn’t people check out all this stuff before they move? For example, would it be news that the weather in the UK is generally crap? That China is polluted? That the French are not enamored of those who can’t speak French? Or are people so in love with the romance of a place it clouds their assessment of reality?
I believe they cannot judge how much those things (e.g. the weather,... ) will affect them. I have left my home country for 2 other places, one hated, the other liked, and from my experience you cannot say where you will like it and where you will not, you have to experience it. And not like on a vacation, but for real. Also it would be different if you move out of lack of options in your original country, or other reasons.
What did you expect when you proudly invaded one of the poorest countries in the world and helped to kill 3 million of their beautiful people? Unlike you and your associates, they were concerned enough with you that they kept you alive and saw that you could live to be an old man.
The title should be "10 countries people from the US regret moving to". The language barrier works in both directions, Asian people find English being hard and illogical, and even many Europeans get never fluent in English although it's obligatory to learn it in school almost everywhere. Thus, it's hilarious to criticise countries on the basis that few people speak English if you don't mention that your assessment was made from a US perspective. I know people regretting having moved to the US, because of the high crime rate, lack of social security and lack of obligatory pension schemes, bad public schools, no free universities and missing public traffic in most places. The US is shiny and modern from the distant, but in many ways closer to a third-world-country than to a western EU country.
It's called ethnocentrism. Americans and Brits share this malaise. We expect everyone around the world to speak English yet the percentage of Americans and British people who speak a foreign language is quite low when compared to mainland Europeans and a few other nationalities.
Great video ! -- Many places 'appear' to be better than they actually are - but - once your there and have time to see for yourself what they are really like..... ?!?
There are many fancy toilets in Japan, with cushioned and heated seats, as music plays to drown out the sound of the flush...Japan is a technological marvel. You could run part of a segment on their vending machines alone.
While living in San Diego being exposed to military families, vacation travelers, and international business people I would say the only place I've never heard anyone complain about who went there to vacation or live is Spain.
I moved to Thailand 26 Years ago to Teach English. It was the best thing I have ever done. Loved my Job and the people and children I Taught. Sadly during covid I lost my job. Well depressed I didn't Know what to do and had let my rented home and my self go, the house was a mess (so was I).Luckily i saw an advert for a cleaner good price 500 Baht first visit then down to 300 per week. To cut a long story short after 4 months I told her I loved her she had helped me so much she told me she couldn't say the same to me. That confirmed she as the one for me. We have just moved into a new house In a love village In Chiang Rai the price was way lower than equivalent in The UK. We live very comfortably on my UK state Pension.
Are you kidding me? It's beautiful but sooo isolated, and soooo very expensive, plus the weather can be downright depressing. Don't get me wrong, I love NZ, but wouldn't move there!
N.Korea is a communist country. I doubt they allow immigration, to add insult to injury, North Koreans arem't allow to leace the country, inless they escape. North Koreans live in fear of reprisal, they are some of the poorest ppl in the world.
I’d have to say in my younger years, I moved to a second world country that was full of rampant crime, religious bigotry, and way too many firearms in the hands of people with serious mental disorders. I spent two years in America and I’d have to say you couldn’t even pay me to go back .
Don't know when you lived here, but crime was at its peak in 1991 and is far lower today. The religious bigotry has gotten worse though as has the gun problem. We do have the best economy in the world if that matters to anyone.
And yet we have people flocking here as if they've gone to heaven. Pathetic. All the above that you mentioned. rampant crime (which includes law enforcement), racism, mental illness and political low morality. Loss of Values & Drugs epidemic.
Hey, we can't even get our excessive lying liberal US celebrities that constantly threated to leave, leave so I think the US is WAY less worse then you're implying!!! LOL. In the last 3 years since Biden took office over 6 million immigrants have been swarming over the US borders, 99% of them illegals!!! They wanted to come here until they got here and have to live in a tent or 10 to a hotel room!
Seriously! USA should've made this list. As an immigrant living in the US, I see the Americans as the least racist, developed country in the world. Racism in America is not noticeable. Once one abides by the law of the land, no one disturbs the person. I have traveled far and wide, but no country can be compared to America in terms of empowerment and wealth creation.
My country Msia Kuala Lumpir lets it be underated ,located in south east Asia in between Bangkok n Singapore now more n more xpats came to retired here ,,foods n peoples with with friendly n fluent English spoken favourite pkaces for tourist to visit.Ciuntry with tropical climate hot n wet ,all season the best choice to stayed..Beach,Jungle,ètc
You say corruption is common in developing countries and think of Biden and his son or Trump's tax issues with other things. Remember Tony Blair, Gordon Brown too. Think of Silvio Berlusconi, Andreotti, Craxi in Italy? Corruption is rampant and least corrupted countries are Singapire, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
you certainly downplayed the corruption of trump - convicted rapist, tried to overthrow an election he lost (incited people of his cult to murder)… list too long to write and he has 91 indictments against him. The WORST president in USA history
Before entering japan, you need to study thier language first. Only few japanese people can speak and understand english language. Same in Vietnam, its hard to live in a country with a little knowledge of english language. In my country which is the Philippines, majority of pilipino people can speak and understand english.
Those and many others. Treatment of the Elderly; Racial division/Racism, Greed, corruption and a two tier Judicial system -- The have's and the have nots. Also Drugs should be on this list, big time.
Oh please these have been the same issues for many many years. There’s always been crime. There’s always been so called homelessness which really is a lot of drug addicts and just plain bums and vagrants and the politics are just the way it is in many other countries. A lot of divisiveness it’s still a wonderful place in many regards many people have very comfortable lives here but if you focus on the negatives, that’s what you’re gonna get, yes we have a gun issue and that’s something that is certainly disturbing but I’ve lived all over the USA and I’ve never had anyissues. it’s still a great country despite what you hear.
Born here in Australia.... And it sucks here, government can't house the people we have and yet sits on lands bigger then most countries and doubles down by bringing in 1 million people in 2 years.
Is it considered the responsibility of the government to house people? It's certainly a nice idea, but most Americans would consider it socialism, all the while complaining about the high price of housing and blaming it on the government.
I’m surprised Italy didn’t make it to this list. As an educated Expat with a lot of experience in many sectors, it has been laborious getting employed in a job where you can make a living, as there or wages are ridiculously low and almost insulting. I’ve been here now five years and it keeps worsening. They stick to their own regardless your credentials. They age discerniate. Finally, they have a huge problem with immigration and crime.
Immigration and crime varies from region to region though, otherwise you are on point. I'm an educated EU citizen anyway, so I might be going elswhere soon.
Canadians are paid poorly as well, particularly in education. Italy has been destroyed by corrupted illegal immigrants. Meloni NEEDS to act fast, before they destroy what is left of our beautiful country.
The same thing happens in the US. There are many educated, English- speaking immigrants who can't land a good paying job here and end up having to drive taxis, work in restaurants, hotels, etc. Oftentimes immigrants have to start from scratch before making an attempt to climb the social and economic ladder.
There is no perfect place on this planet. You may find one that comes close for a little while, but things can change with the blink of an eye. I've experienced it personally when my family moved from Germany to Canada after WWII. And look at what's happened in Canada in just the last few decades! A once wonderful country that has deteriorated into a nightmare. We moved from Canada to the USA and while we certainly prospered for a while in the USA in the last few decades we've seen everything deteriorate: Cities, criminal activity, drug use, mental health, homelessness, race relations, ever more intrusion of government into our personal lives, all the nightmares we thought we had left behind. So don't kid yourself that things are better anywhere else or will stay better.
I think it depends whether you are a young person who want to establish your career or you are a retiree who want to enjoy a decent life with a limited budget . In the first category places like Canada, Australia, new Zealand would be a good choice. For the second category places like Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia are good places to consider.
Ironic that the first clip was Bangkok. I moved there a few years ago and lasted just under a year. I found it expensive (private school, the internet, electricity) its racism and it is inhumanely hot, day and night. I also lived there in the 1980s and 1990s.
I also did 8 years there in the 80's and 90's till I woke up to the hopelessness and instability of living under the thumbnail of that xenophobic and racist government. There, it is institutionalized. You are not welcome, only your money is. They will actively and progressively work daily to destroy your business and family. Every single one of my expat friends, no matter from what country, were driven out. Every one of them. I spoke the language fluently and even had some work as a translator. I paid Thai taxes every year and helped their foreign currency reserves with the U.S. dollars I brought in. None of it matters. You will NEVER get permanent residency in Thailand and have NO reciprocal civil or property rights.
The travel magazines rave about Thailand but the cheaper cost of living is the only reason I live near Chiang Mai. The immigration is a nightmare, air pollution is a killer and the people don't like ex-pats. I could write a book on all the negatives, but I admit my home country, the US is even worse, so I selected the better of 2 evils.
@@edchapman5801 Thailand back in the days probably directly after the Vietnam war was probably a wonderful spot to be and then it got discovered by the world and of course sex tourist and everything changed- when I went back a few years ago it seems like the vibe was way off everybody seems depressed, and yeah, bad attitudes from locals who apparently resent Gringos ..Vietnam seems to be the place now and that surely is going to get ruined as well. I’ve been there number of times back 15-20 years ago and it was great and I plan another trip. I’m sure over time it to will lose its charm and appeal once the people become jaded and cynical. from videos I’ve seen it’s already turning into a mini Bangkok lots of bored chicks hanging around staring into phones waiting for foreign guys with money…ughhh And the USA is not nearly as bad as we are lead to believe I would say living here is better choice than Thailand.. are you retired? How long have you been there?
@@jamesmack3314 Career air force - started working on F-4's back in 1968 at Ubon, then went to Utapao and the beloved B-52's. After putting in 20, I retired in Texas in 1986, but it didn't take long to do the math and my $700/month master sergeant pension wasn't going too far, so I moved to Chiang Mai in 1988, but immigration drug their feet on giving me a visa, and it was because they wanted me to pay under the table for it. Went back to Texas, bounced around working at Wal-Mart and golf courses, then when I started Social Security in 2005, moved to Bangkok, taught English for several years for something to do, and finally headed up to Chiang Mai permanently in 2014, but I did make a final attempt to live in Texas back in 2018, but all my friends were either dead or had become political psychopaths, so after 3 months, I decided living in exile was better in the long run. I'm 80 now and if I had it all to do over again, I think Vietnam or the Philippines would have been better options but every time I looked at a Vietnamese kid I would think about all the bombs I helped load and the Philippines are known as "typhoon alley," and I can't swim - PEACE, and hope you find your heaven on earth.
I have a good life here in Cosyz Rica. Friendly people ,many speak English good transportation. Cheap restaurants much cheaper than the States or other countries
Totally right for the UK .The country is rolling down, down the hill especially for the last 6-7 years . About the weather, the greyness ... etc.... no comment.
Wtf, I presume this person never visited. Cost of housing is from large immigration influx, -40 in Vancouver really. Even Toronto does not happen, go to Vancouver, Montreal excellent transportation, this guy needs to learn facts. I do say the burbs suck.
What are you talking about? Vancouver may get temperatures at -5C but that’s it. -40 is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous for Toronto and Montreal. You’re taking about the Yukon Territories, maybe. Do some accurate research
Of course when it came to the US, this guy would mention "racism" and "guns" as though that were all that mattered. "Racism" here is strictly a political tool. 50 years ago nobody owned guns until the crime rate started to go through the roof. Gun violence is mostly in the major cities that have the most restricted gun laws. Want to see real racism? Go to Japan.
True. And China, where white people are not allowed to stay at hundreds of hotels. And Thailand, where it is institutionalized in double-charging and no permanent residency or property rights.
Vancouver does not have minus 40 degree weather. Winnipeg in Manitoba does. Buses in the main cities ie. Vancouver and Toronto M9ntreal have fairly good bus service.
How I agree with you .I loved the US when I first went there in 1971.Nearly emigrated but thank God I saw the light.I want to leave the UK but not to the US.
Not sure where you got your data? But saying that one of the main issues in US is racism? How about the rest of these countries? I am pretty sure you will find more racism in countries like, China, Japan, etc. Trust me, I do speak from my own experience. I have been living in US for over 40 years and the racism is not the main issue. Soft on crimes, breakdown of morality and values, definitely.
Racial division is at the top of the list to me, so I will agree to disagree with you. However, soft on crime but so much injustice against minorities is part of that problem. Poor treatment of the elderly and yes morals & values which has gone to hell as a result of previous leadership and supposedly Christan values who support a man whose done it all. So there goes your morals & values and those who think this okay.
morality has degraded over time… misplaced values and media seem to glorify (i.e.beyoncé, kardashians, madonna, rappers etc. - unsavory). TV, music industry, violent video gaming that kids are addicted to, drug culture rampant … and despot criminal politicians … many elements in the mix
1,250,000 people came to the UK last year and we're the third most populated island in the world. people want to come here in their droves and the government welcome them with open arms
I’m a U.S. American who emigrated to Mexico more than three years ago and I have no regrets. It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people and so much more. I’m retired, so not working so I don’t have those considerations. I will say that anyone seeking to move to another country should research it first as much as possible so you know what you’re getting into. I think it’s ridiculous to complain about things like the language and the weather those things are easy enough to find out and you can decide before hand if you can deal with possible obstacles with regards to those. Also as to crime, sure Mexico has crime, but so does the US and it’s not everywhere here. Why would you move to a city that’s known for crime in any country. And as to the corruption that is probably true too, but I dare you to show me a country that doesn’t have some corruption. I personally haven’t experienced any crime or corruption in Mexico at all and I don’t speak Spanish and I get along just fine. This video deals in a lot of generalizations and is probably designed just for the hype. Like I said it’s easy enough to research a country even a city before going there, that’s what you should do imo. Have a beautiful day!😊
@@arfriedman4577 I’m not trying to promote Mexico it’s good for me, but may not be good for you. And after all, it’s not a competition is it? In my book that’s one of the problems with the world, there’s all this unnecessary competition, for me it’s about finding what works for me and as long as that doesn’t infringe on anyone else then it’s all good and I think everyone should think and behave like that and the world would be a better place. We are individuals with different backgrounds, needs and wants so we have to decide what’s best for us based on those. From what I have seen most people don’t move from their home country no matter how bad things get, the obstacle of learning a new country is more than they are up for and the pull of the familiar is too strong. Stay safe and enjoy!
@@lizsavage1178 I didn't say you're promoting Mexico. I'm happy you love being there. There are many Americans that live happily in Mexico. Much success, health, happiness, and blessings to all.
Thanks for this, I would have been interested to see how the Philippines rated in your list. Heard it is very good for so many things, see a GP in hours rather than days (like the UK) BUT it cost's. Quieter pace of life just out of towns and cities and apparently very hot in places now. Wages low compared to many other places but living cost's seem fair by comparison.
Your success living abroad is not so much to do with your job. It's entirely dependant on your RELATIONSHIP - have you moved to your new country with a local from that country, or have you moved there alone or with a partner from your own country ? It's THAT which will make or break you. Nothing else.
@@arfriedman4577 if you have a relationship in that country and with someone from that country, you're not going anywhere - take it from me !!! There may also be kids in the picture which is the one almighty ANCHOR in life, plus in the in-laws also from the area.
@arfriedm 0:47 an4577 And the last thing you'll want is your kids speaking to your wife in a conversation you can't understand a word of, plus being able to communicate with your in-laws and your wife's friends when they come. You won't want to feel a constant 'outsider'. So language acquisition is a big time 100% obligation and THAT in itself will also help to 'cement you in'.
I'm from the US I spent time in a number of other countries. I lived 3 years in Japan and 4 years now in Ghana and I would not change my US citizenship for any country. I do have to admit that there have been some bad changes in the last few years. Hopefully we can get back on track.
If you are new to the USA, unhappy with crime in cities, move to Arkansas. Taxes aren’t bad, the people are kind, easy going and generous. Don’t, Don’t, don’t move to a big city. Conway is too big Little Rock is a murder capitol, Texarkana isn’t bad, Russellville is just right. Morrilton, Hot Springs. That size.
I moved to Mexico from the USA and it was best decision I have ever made. The people who kind, welcoming, and friendly. The country is also clean. There are dirty areas just like in other countries.

Next time you have to add USA, forty years ago, when I emigrated to US, I thought I was in the dream land. What is happening in this country is just heartbreaking, I’m 66 already, I wish I knew then what I know about this country now. I feel all my hard work and my dreams shattered just before my eyes. My age folks usually looking forward for retirement and enjoy their retirement, sadly I’m panicking for uncertainty and aggressive government policies towards elderly people, everything is out of reach for retired people, the rent, food, safety. US government no longer has respect for their citizens I don’t know in the past some how they were pretending they are. Government intentionally creating racial division, instead of uniting people.
The republican ruined the USA. Its just too sad how bad the life is there now.

True I agree.

Blame Democrats in government.
As immigrant, now American who’s lived here her whole life, I’m sadly not surprised to see USA in this list… What’s happening to this country is truly heartbreaking

I'm sorry for the most part I understand why ex pats don't like their new homes but the one thing that kept popping up that I don't understand is the English speaking part. If your moving to a country that doesn't speak English you should learn their language first at least enough to get by day to day. That's very ignorant to assume just because you going to live in a big city in a different country thatt alot of people will speak English. English is the language of corporate and diplomats around the world not down in the streets and stores of everyday people in foreign countries.
When I lived in South Korea and Croatia it seems all the locals spoke English.

Already fluent in French, having owned an apment for 30 yrs, when I relocated here I am miserable. The adm details are intended to obfuscate a broken social system. As a physician, once hospitalised the care was sub minimal. The staff poorly trained, limited range of medications, it was pre-reap;utionary France with levels of power over patients that was against everything I knew as appropriate medical care in the US. Treatment is like an Old Ford plant, you are an inanimate object on an assembly line: don't let your fingers venture far or they will be cut off. Everything I experienced in 3 hospital visits were third world quality. With wealth in France there is a different way of life. Despite an Ile St Louis spacious home, etc., I regret having made the move.
Lived in France for 16 years and I concur with you comments. Glad to return to the UK!

Hi. Your comments surprise me. Perhaps the reputation of the French healthcare system is overrated? When I was there for nine days in November 2023, I saw a group of about 20 people standing outside in the drizzle waiting for something to open, and it was a medical clinic. While I loved Monmartre/Clichy, the amount of scammers there dismayed me.

Know a a fellow soldier who moved to Germany in the eighties. The reason was he lived in Santa Monica after the army.
On average he would see a crime or the results of one about ever two weeks and he realized the situation was going to get worse.
Looking back he said it was a very wise decision. He can work around his area without a care and there's very little next to no crime.
He said most Germans have the sense not to get involved with drugs.
I had seen a few videos of German benefits from working in Germany compared to usa.
I’m pretty sure he regrets this decision. Marcel ruined Germany.
Germany has 2x the reported crimes of Italy
Now there's a perfect example of how fast things can change--Germany! Did you know that most people, including , were quite safe in Germany at one time and even had German citizenship unlike other European countries, until Hitler came along? And did you know that the nazi era in Germany only lasted about 12 years from beginning to end? And do you remember that the nazis destroyed Germany in that short period of time. Just because things look good on the surface does not mean things will stay that way. They can change in the blink of an eye anywhere.

Torquay, Devonshire is supposedly has much warmer weather.
I'm Canadian. Winter is super cold in the north but ok in the South. Québec is not as expensive as Vancouver. Canada is a big country, there's good and bad. But we're the only country where you can have 4 seasons in one day, those who live here know what i'm talking about😅

@@lisafiore7081 The housing prices vary depending on where in Toronto you are buying. My granddaughter takes transit sometimes and she has no problem. That probably also depends on where. Our subway is quite comprehensive. It's probably not as good as it used to be as we get our ideas from Europe.

We raised our 4 children here, and have never regretted our move. They all are successful adults who have families. Our children and grandchildren had the kind of start in life that we wanted for them. No place is perfect, but not all of the US is bad.

Interesting take on retirement planning! Good to know which countries might not meet expectations in 2024.
Wouldn’t people check out all this stuff before they move? For example, would it be news that the weather in the UK is generally crap? That China is polluted? That the French are not enamored of those who can’t speak French? Or are people so in love with the romance of a place it clouds their assessment of reality?
I believe they cannot judge how much those things (e.g. the weather,... ) will affect them. I have left my home country for 2 other places, one hated, the other liked, and from my experience you cannot say where you will like it and where you will not, you have to experience it. And not like on a vacation, but for real. Also it would be different if you move out of lack of options in your original country, or other reasons.

The title should be "10 countries people from the US regret moving to". The language barrier works in both directions, Asian people find English being hard and illogical, and even many Europeans get never fluent in English although it's obligatory to learn it in school almost everywhere. Thus, it's hilarious to criticise countries on the basis that few people speak English if you don't mention that your assessment was made from a US perspective. I know people regretting having moved to the US, because of the high crime rate, lack of social security and lack of obligatory pension schemes, bad public schools, no free universities and missing public traffic in most places. The US is shiny and modern from the distant, but in many ways closer to a third-world-country than to a western EU country.
It's called ethnocentrism. Americans and Brits share this malaise. We expect everyone around the world to speak English yet the percentage of Americans and British people who speak a foreign language is quite low when compared to mainland Europeans and a few other nationalities.

I’m surprised Italy didn’t make it to this list. As an educated Expat with a lot of experience in many sectors, it has been laborious getting employed in a job where you can make a living, as there or wages are ridiculously low and almost insulting. I’ve been here now five years and it keeps worsening. They stick to their own regardless your credentials. They age discerniate. Finally, they have a huge problem with immigration and crime.
Immigration and crime varies from region to region though, otherwise you are on point. I'm an educated EU citizen anyway, so I might be going elswhere soon.
Canadians are paid poorly as well, particularly in education. Italy has been destroyed by corrupted illegal immigrants. Meloni NEEDS to act fast, before they destroy what is left of our beautiful country.

Wages are no better in Canada. The cost of living is NOWHERE comparable to our salaries!
The same thing happens in the US. There are many educated, English- speaking immigrants who can't land a good paying job here and end up having to drive taxis, work in restaurants, hotels, etc. Oftentimes immigrants have to start from scratch before making an attempt to climb the social and economic ladder.
There is no perfect place on this planet. You may find one that comes close for a little while, but things can change with the blink of an eye. I've experienced it personally when my family moved from Germany to Canada after WWII. And look at what's happened in Canada in just the last few decades! A once wonderful country that has deteriorated into a nightmare. We moved from Canada to the USA and while we certainly prospered for a while in the USA in the last few decades we've seen everything deteriorate: Cities, criminal activity, drug use, mental health, homelessness, race relations, ever more intrusion of government into our personal lives, all the nightmares we thought we had left behind. So don't kid yourself that things are better anywhere else or will stay better.
2024 just started how can you regret so quick?
Well spotted! 😅
I was looking for this comment.
Sometimes, it doesn't take long.
I think it depends whether you are a young person who want to establish your career or you are a retiree who want to enjoy a decent life with a limited budget . In the first category places like Canada, Australia, new Zealand would be a good choice. For the second category places like Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia are good places to consider.
Ironic that the first clip was Bangkok. I moved there a few years ago and lasted just under a year. I found it expensive (private school, the internet, electricity) its racism and it is inhumanely hot, day and night. I also lived there in the 1980s and 1990s.
I also did 8 years there in the 80's and 90's till I woke up to the hopelessness and instability of living under the thumbnail of that xenophobic and racist government. There, it is institutionalized. You are not welcome, only your money is. They will actively and progressively work daily to destroy your business and family. Every single one of my expat friends, no matter from what country, were driven out. Every one of them. I spoke the language fluently and even had some work as a translator. I paid Thai taxes every year and helped their foreign currency reserves with the U.S. dollars I brought in. None of it matters. You will NEVER get permanent residency in Thailand and have NO reciprocal civil or property rights.
You can have BKK..I loved it in 92,hated it in 17.im sure it was great until about 92
The travel magazines rave about Thailand but the cheaper cost of living is the only reason I live near Chiang Mai. The immigration is a nightmare, air pollution is a killer and the people don't like ex-pats. I could write a book on all the negatives, but I admit my home country, the US is even worse, so I selected the better of 2 evils.
@@edchapman5801 Thailand back in the days probably directly after the Vietnam war was probably a wonderful spot to be and then it got discovered by the world and of course sex tourist and everything changed- when I went back a few years ago it seems like the vibe was way off everybody seems depressed, and yeah, bad attitudes from locals who apparently resent Gringos ..Vietnam seems to be the place now and that surely is going to get ruined as well. I’ve been there number of times back 15-20 years ago and it was great and I plan another trip. I’m sure over time it to will lose its charm and appeal once the people become jaded and cynical. from videos I’ve seen it’s already turning into a mini Bangkok lots of bored chicks hanging around staring into phones waiting for foreign guys with money…ughhh
And the USA is not nearly as bad as we are lead to believe I would say living here is better choice than Thailand.. are you retired? How long have you been there?
@@jamesmack3314 Career air force - started working on F-4's back in 1968 at Ubon, then went to Utapao and the beloved B-52's. After putting in 20, I retired in Texas in 1986, but it didn't take long to do the math and my $700/month master sergeant pension wasn't going too far, so I moved to Chiang Mai in 1988, but immigration drug their feet on giving me a visa, and it was because they wanted me to pay under the table for it. Went back to Texas, bounced around working at Wal-Mart and golf courses, then when I started Social Security in 2005, moved to Bangkok, taught English for several years for something to do, and finally headed up to Chiang Mai permanently in 2014, but I did make a final attempt to live in Texas back in 2018, but all my friends were either dead or had become political psychopaths, so after 3 months, I decided living in exile was better in the long run. I'm 80 now and if I had it all to do over again, I think Vietnam or the Philippines would have been better options but every time I looked at a Vietnamese kid I would think about all the bombs I helped load and the Philippines are known as "typhoon alley," and I can't swim - PEACE, and hope you find your heaven on earth.
Live in Massachusetts crazy expensive ! And cold and weird weather damp
Boston is a great city and I went to school in the Berkshires. New England is just plain beautiful.
I have a good life here in Cosyz Rica. Friendly people ,many speak English good transportation. Cheap restaurants much cheaper than the States or other countries
Cosyz Rica?
Costa Rica and Panama are future first world countries. Uruguay and maybe Chile too.
Totally right for the UK .The country is rolling down, down the hill especially for the last 6-7 years . About the weather, the greyness ... etc.... no comment.
Wtf, I presume this person never visited. Cost of housing is from large immigration influx, -40 in Vancouver really. Even Toronto does not happen, go to Vancouver, Montreal excellent transportation, this guy needs to learn facts. I do say the burbs suck.
This place is trash 🗑
Not even Ottawa is -40! We have green grass already!
What are you talking about? Vancouver may get temperatures at -5C but that’s it. -40 is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous for Toronto and Montreal. You’re taking about the Yukon Territories, maybe. Do some accurate research
Minus 40 in Vancouver? I doubt that. Vancouver, with it's marine climate, it is usuallly modestly cool and rainy in the Winter.
Canada is at the top of my list of countries to live in. Yes, it is very expensive but well worth it!
Of course when it came to the US, this guy would mention "racism" and "guns" as though that were all that mattered. "Racism" here is strictly a political tool. 50 years ago nobody owned guns until the crime rate started to go through the roof. Gun violence is mostly in the major cities that have the most restricted gun laws. Want to see real racism? Go to Japan.
True. And China, where white people are not allowed to stay at hundreds of hotels. And Thailand, where it is institutionalized in double-charging and no permanent residency or property rights.
Vancouver does not have minus 40 degree weather. Winnipeg in Manitoba does. Buses in the main cities ie. Vancouver and Toronto M9ntreal have fairly good bus service.
How I agree with you .I loved the US when I first went there in 1971.Nearly emigrated but thank God I saw the light.I want to leave the UK but not to the US.
You must be really old.
No country is perfect
Not sure where you got your data? But saying that one of the main issues in US is racism? How about the rest of these countries? I am pretty sure you will find more racism in countries like, China, Japan, etc. Trust me, I do speak from my own experience. I have been living in US for over 40 years and the racism is not the main issue. Soft on crimes, breakdown of morality and values, definitely.
Racial division is at the top of the list to me, so I will agree to disagree with you. However, soft on crime but so much injustice against minorities is part of that problem. Poor treatment of the elderly and yes morals & values which has gone to hell as a result of previous leadership and supposedly Christan values who support a man whose done it all. So there goes your morals & values and those who think this okay.
morality has degraded over time… misplaced values and media seem to glorify (i.e.beyoncé, kardashians, madonna, rappers etc. - unsavory). TV, music industry, violent video gaming that kids are addicted to, drug culture rampant … and despot criminal politicians … many elements in the mix
What is your opinion about Belize?
Squat toilets in Japan? I thought the country had the most advanced toilets in the world.
That is only in expensive hotel rooms. LOL
Japanese homes don't have squat toilets. Common in other parts of the world but not in Japan.
I'm not the one that typed it. I only type western style toilets in best hotel rooms which IS true.@@Islandicus
Maybe they are scared of the height.
@@bonniebrock5109 in any normal hotel in Japan have advance toilets. including de affordable Appa hotel.
Dude, it doesn’t get to -40 in Vancouver BC very often. Ugh.
Did anyone else notice Cuba, Russia, Venezuela were not on the list?
Not many people move there I assume
@@cuginoeddie8677
I think you assume correctly. 😅
❤❤No place like Home Home by Migal Tigal.Beautiful Trinidad NTobago.❤❤😂.
Crime and violence is now a problem in Trinidad. Its not really a Tourist desrination either apart from Carnival .
1,250,000 people came to the UK last year and we're the third most populated island in the world. people want to come here in their droves and the government welcome them with open arms
You people live on a piece of land the size of a football field,,,
definitely harmed quality of life in the UK
I moved to Ireland and love it
I’m a U.S. American who emigrated to Mexico more than three years ago and I have no regrets. It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people and so much more. I’m retired, so not working so I don’t have those considerations.
I will say that anyone seeking to move to another country should research it first as much as possible so you know what you’re getting into. I think it’s ridiculous to complain about things like the language and the weather those things are easy enough to find out and you can decide before hand if you can deal with possible obstacles with regards to those. Also as to crime, sure Mexico has crime, but so does the US and it’s not everywhere here. Why would you move to a city that’s known for crime in any country. And as to the corruption that is probably true too, but I dare you to show me a country that doesn’t have some corruption. I personally haven’t experienced any crime or corruption in Mexico at all and I don’t speak Spanish and I get along just fine. This video deals in a lot of generalizations and is probably designed just for the hype. Like I said it’s easy enough to research a country even a city before going there, that’s what you should do imo. Have a beautiful day!😊
I'm glad you're enjoying Mexico. I don't know if that's a country I'd move to if I decide to leave my country.
@@arfriedman4577 I’m not trying to promote Mexico it’s good for me, but may not be good for you. And after all, it’s not a competition is it? In my book that’s one of the problems with the world, there’s all this unnecessary competition, for me it’s about finding what works for me and as long as that doesn’t infringe on anyone else then it’s all good and I think everyone should think and behave like that and the world would be a better place. We are individuals with different backgrounds, needs and wants so we have to decide what’s best for us based on those. From what I have seen most people don’t move from their home country no matter how bad things get, the obstacle of learning a new country is more than they are up for and the pull of the familiar is too strong. Stay safe and enjoy!
@@lizsavage1178 I didn't say you're promoting Mexico. I'm happy you love being there.
There are many Americans that live happily in Mexico. Much success, health, happiness, and blessings to all.
Thanks for this, I would have been interested to see how the Philippines rated in your list.
Heard it is very good for so many things, see a GP in hours rather than days (like the UK) BUT it cost's.
Quieter pace of life just out of towns and cities and apparently very hot in places now. Wages low compared to many other places but living cost's seem fair by comparison.
Your success living abroad is not so much to do with your job. It's entirely dependant on your RELATIONSHIP -
have you moved to your new country with a local from that country, or have you moved there alone or with a partner from your own country ?
It's THAT which will make or break you.
Nothing else.
Your success in another country depends on if the country is beneficial to your needs, wants, and you can work with what the country offers.
@@arfriedman4577 if you have a relationship in that country and with someone from that country, you're not going anywhere - take it from me !!! There may also be kids in the picture which is the one almighty ANCHOR in life, plus in the in-laws also from the area.
@@JohnResalb I think I misread earlier. I know people that left as family to come to usa. Or go to a different country.
@arfriedm 0:47 an4577
And the last thing you'll want is your kids speaking to your wife in a conversation you can't understand a word of, plus being able to communicate with your in-laws and your wife's friends when they come.
You won't want to feel a constant 'outsider'.
So language acquisition is a big time 100% obligation and THAT in itself will also help to 'cement you in'.
I'm from the US I spent time in a number of other countries. I lived 3 years in Japan and 4 years now in Ghana and I would not change my US citizenship for any country. I do have to admit that there have been some bad changes in the last few years. Hopefully we can get back on track.
things severely went downhill when trump arrived to the scene - a disgrace
My foreign neibours are regretting moving next to me.
⚠️Im a nightmare⚠️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Ok, Freddy, slowly please put your claw glove down."
If you are new to the USA, unhappy with crime in cities, move to Arkansas. Taxes aren’t bad, the people are kind, easy going and generous. Don’t, Don’t, don’t move to a big city. Conway is too big Little Rock is a murder capitol, Texarkana isn’t bad, Russellville is just right. Morrilton, Hot Springs. That size.
It never gets to -40 c in Vancouver.
What American in their right mind would want to live in Nam. People forget the Nam war where American soldiers were slaughtered and tortured.
I moved to Mexico from the USA and it was best decision I have ever made. The people who kind, welcoming, and friendly. The country is also clean. There are dirty areas just like in other countries. My favorite part about Mexico is the culture and food! I never miss the USA. I wish I was born a Mexican. 😁
Where in Mexico do you live?
Since you are Mexican it's easier for you to live there than other people.
Surprisingly, Philippines is not in the list. The big advantage of Ph is English well spoken.
It wouldn't make the list. This is a list of regret. Phillipines would be a "not" regret country.
I live in Vietnam, 3 years now, I have been coming here for 15 years.
I admit liter is a big issue, the government should do their job and crack down, I have never been asked for money when renewing my visa and the people are very friendly.
living amongst ignorant people who are okay polluting the environment they inhabit? … not very intelligent
Im shocked that SA is not on this list .Should be in the top 2 in the world 🌎
SA? Do you mean Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 or South Africa 🇿🇦?
Cost of living in South Africa is way cheaper than in those western countries
You nailed it. South Africa should be no 1.
@@annestabarradas6705 Prices mean little if you can't safely walk the streets.
Stop. Please.
You did not put in Perú. You should. Safety is a real concern there
Expensive dangerous extreme weather, why would anybody move to the US??
The economic opportunities. At least those coming from developing countries.
I don't know why any other developed nation citizens would. Apart from Canadians. In which they become snowbirds. So it's the weather for them.
california nice weather, Florida too
apparently, everyone south of us thinks this is heaven on earth but their making it hell for the rest of us
