My wife and my parents, honestly.

I've lived overseas in many different countries. And I would do it again, if I could.

The issue is that my parents are in their 70's and 80's.

My wife owns our house outright, and she loves the place.

If we left, I think she would get used to living elsewhere - she'd love it actually - but neither of us would forgive ourselves for not spending as much of the remaining years with our parents as we can. Once they passed away, we would beat ourselves constantly with the knowledge that we didn't share as much time with them as we could.

Regret is hard to overcome. But it is easy to avoid.

Assuming my parents pass in the next 10 years or so, we could leave the country. We'd be in our mid-60's, though, and that is a HARD time for countries to allow new people in. We would be well past our earning prime, and would not have paid into the socialized systems in place in that country (Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, etc.), so we would largely be a burden (cost) on their systems... which would only continue to increase, until we passed.

There's no money in letting old people immigrate to your country.

So, due to the love of my family, we may be stuck in this GOP-crafted hell for the rest of our lives.
