Is it the actual act of leaving that is too expensive? If you wanna live in Norway as an American, you probably need a residency permit. And for that, you probably need a valid reason to stay, such as job, studies, etc. It could be difficult or even expensive to actually get a job in Norway if you live in the US (interviews etc), and I don't think studies are free for foreigners. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

Atralis 07/20/17 5:52:59 AM #58:	1. I doubt that Norwegian Americans are doing much worse than Norwegians in Norway income wise. 2. Literally all of the difference in per capita income between the us and Norway can be accounted for with oil exports. It is 20% of their gdp. 3. I live in Colorado which is doing just fine and is a better place to be as a software dev than Norway even if I was fluent in Norwegian. <cite>Atralis posted [p:883254835] in Americans,...
