Some people see stock and housing price increases as wealth accumulation.
Others see it for what is really is:
Inflation...
All things in this world have a value.
The value of property and the rights to owning part of the companies that make up the mightiest country in human civilization...during a time period where humanity is on the forefront of technology and innovation...
Countries like Australia, Netherlands, Germany, and New Zealand destroy America's butt in almost every category known to main.
Comparing all English speaking countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, America), America only beats UK and Canada.
Conclusion: America is not the best country to live on planet earth, that would be Australia (I excluded non-English speaking countries like Norway and Sweden because we all know they're small homogenous countries)

Your survey means nothing to me or anyone else.
Tell me what countries on your list offer the multi-generational protection that comes along with the might of the United States?
All tiny nobodies on the world scene.
The WORLD revolves around the United States circa 2020.
As we delve further into our digital existence as humans — there is NO other place I want to establish roots for myself, children and future generations.

Yes... Everyone likes inflation when it's in the stock market because it makes them feel rich. No one likes inflation when it's in the supermarket because it makes them feel poor. At some point though, all this massive inflation will move into the supermarket with disastrous consequences....
Very few Americans actually give up their citizenship and move to those countries permanently, even though they are some of the top countries economically.
You have to wonder why that is.
Because we have ties here, mostly. It takes a certain kind of person to move somewhere away from all they know, even if what they know isn't good.
A survey like that means nothing. The peak of human existence in modern times is living a middle class lifestyle in America. The world is jealous.
Furthermore, for actual long term security which includes military (and possibly gun ownership rights) — NONE of the countries listed make the cut. I’m personally looking for 150+ year multi-generational security through wars, pandemics...everything.
Our middle class has been declining for years. Why would anyone be jealous of us, outside of third world countries? We Dom't have as good a standard of living as most first world countries.
I don't feel secure here, our society and civilization is crumbling here. Most of the first world feels pity for us, not jealousy.

They don't because it's nice to keep US passport as an insurance policy. So you are right they don't give it up but they don't actually live here either. I know plenty of people who carries multiple passports that come here and go abroad during the year.
US isn't the best place to live anymore which is why many muslim migrants rather be in the EU than come here. If you go to hospital in EU, you actually get care. If you go to hospitals here, you get stuck filling out paperwork and you'll die waiting.
I know many Chinese business folks who packed up and went back because US business regulations kills small businesses and allowed big businesses to reap those regulations.
Our property is a hot commodity. Our stock market won’t slow for any force of nature.
My conclusion:
There is simply no better place on earth to live than the United States of America in 2020. There has never been anywhere better to live as far as having access to so much with such a high degree of upward mobility for even people with no skill following simple practical financial advice.
The US empire is just getting started.
Iceland.
Switzerland.
Just 2 I can think of at hand.
Oh, dem oil Arab countries...
