> 300k in SF or NYC is FAR from early retirement unless you live 'frugally' - Manhattan average rents are 5K for 1 bed

You don’t have to retire in the US. As others have pointed out, nobody comes here for the lifestyle.

Immigrants like us are literally the holy grail of immigration. Come in during our most productive years, work hard for 10 to 20 years, go back home before you need any of the social and health care stuff you paid into.

Does the US allow duel citizenship in both counties? Does the other!

What exit taxes exist in the US if you cannot maintain citizenship in both?

Yeah, assuming you don't marry in the US, and don't have kids. But surely, you can think about it in your home country after working 20 of the best years of your life.
