This is hard to say. I have lived in both (mostly in US) and I really enjoyed both places.

I think many times people view what is most preferable about a foreign country and want the best of both worlds. For example they want the low taxes of the US and the generous social programs of the EU.

I would argue I am comfortable in the US as have largely "figured it out" in terms of my business and how things work here (taxes, infrastructure, health care, etc.)

On the other hand Europe has many aspects that appeal to me. Not having to pay so much for education and health is nice upgrade, and I much prefer trains over cars for getting around.

That said my time there still makes the EU seem "exotic" with its various cultures and I did not have to deal with how one starts a business there or own a home. On politics, while I understand Europeans more (specifically northern Europeans) in how they view things I have again accustomed myself to being the minority thought in a conservative part of the world.

Not the answer you may have desired, but best I can do for now. Comfort versus exotic.

Small world, getting married just 10 miles south of there next month.  Is a beautiful and serene part of the country.  

Funny enough even though my grandparents did live and now my parents live near Orlando I barely ever had interest to go to the amusement parks.   Never even been to Disney World and unless wife or possible future kids want to doubt I ever will.

Yeah, I know for a fact that I will be as giddy as a young child when I go there. Just this past summer I had a blast taking my daughter to Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA. No doubt Disney will be even more fun. Infinitely more fun actually.

Same here, I feel the same way. Some people pick on me and tell me I am like a big kid.

I always tell them that I take it as a great compliment.

USA hands down.  I love visiting Europe but for permanent living I would much rather live in America.

I honestly don't see how anyone would choose EU if you don't get to pick the country.  I have been to some ROUGH places in Europe.

Sure I miss it but I realize that I'd probably would struggle to get a decent life there (on a material level) whereas here I'm just fine without big efforts. I also go there and visit my father and some good friends I still have there, after 12 years, at least every second year. I very much enjoy my vacations there.

Was more a case of wondering about the situation then anything.  

Research generally shows that while the US has a much more progressive tax system, it doesn't nearly spend as much on social welfare as europeon countries.  

USA seems scary to me but Id like to visit.

Fair point, I'll admit xD
