Young Americans Consider Moving Abroad to Escape High Costs and Overwork

A 22-year-old South Carolina woman posted a TikTok video lamenting how expensive everything is in America and questioning if she should move somewhere else for better opportunities.

Many young Americans feel the same way and are fed up with working multiple jobs just to survive while things like healthcare remain out of reach.

Over half of Americans say they'd take a 20% pay cut for a better quality of life with more leisure time. Some are moving abroad.

Young people hit key financial milestones slower than previous generations, with most still needing parental support.

While moving abroad may seem appealing, financial struggles for young people are global - a median of 70% across 19 countries feel kids will be worse off.
