Worth it to move. People are always surprised at the 'low pay' when you you move overseas but don't ever take into account how much of your paycheck goes to everyone else but you first (in the US), and relative cost of living.
IMHO money/pay outside the US has more value, in the US it's just a revolving door of debt.
Yeah, my European relatives earn less than us, but they are always traveling to other countries and going on local trips, while we are just getting by week to week
