For some people, the new American Dream is NOT to live there. Up to 9 million US citizens are estimated to be living abroad, but the true number may be much higher. Where are Americans moving? Everywhere - but especially to Europe. The number of US citizens living in European countries has more than doubled in the past year. I explain why in this video, along with the real impacts of so many Americans in Europe, and what I predict will happen next.
