I came to US for money
But, the reason I am staying here is
a) Lifestyle/Standard of Living:- It's more comfortable here
b) Work environment: Work environment is structured better than how it was when I was in India
c) People: I hate to say this, but overall, everyday, I get more respect as a person than I ever did in Bombay. There is less racism in US
d) Goverment: Goverment(s) in US are more transparent and accountable
e) Money: People who convert dollars to rupees and compare their salaries are just fooling themselves. You have to compare salaries, living cost and rate of inflation. The yardstick that I use to measure how rich I am is not based on my yearly income. My yardstick measures how soon I can retire while mainitaining my standard of living.
f) Myself: I am used to expressing myself in a way that is effective in US. I will have to retrain myself if I have to go back.

I agree with all of your points but will still prefer & love to "live" in India than in US or in any other country.
Short trip, may be a year or two stay is fine in other country. But permanent one .. ummmm for me

I would never live anywhere but in the US. I have visited 10 other countries so far and it only made me feel more strongly about living in the US.
