Not if you were smart and saved your money.

New Zealand is not cheap - better pick another. Maybe India is taking all of their programmers back ?

Better hope you don't become a victim of cancer or a frivolous lawsuit. There's a greater chance of your wealth disappearing overnight in America.

New Zealand and Japan have higher costs of living than the US and are not easy to emmigrate to. You are better resettling in lower cost areas in the US.

Lots of Americans retiring to central America - Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize - for the lower cost of living.

Trust me, when mass emigration occurs, American economy will dramatically go down the crapper and you will probably suffer.

The self sufficient will do just fine. Those who have no problem subjecting themselves to a life of honest work will do just fine. Those who choose to contribute instead of sitting on their arse and expecting a handout will do just fine. Those who are willing to work for the things they want, will do just fine. Exactly the way things should be.

Mass emigration would mean Americans trying to enter and live in other countries illegally.
