    Europe has no money.

      And yet, more USians move to my "poor" country than the other way around. Make of that what you will.

        That well-paid Americans like to WFH on Malaga beaches is not a testament to the Spanish economy, but to its weather and (more importantly) low cost of living.

        In any case, don&#x27;t be too sure about your claim. According to &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ourworldindata.org&#x2F;where-do-migrants-live-and-where-were-they-born?migrationCountry=Spain" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ourworldindata.org&#x2F;where-do-migrants-live-and-where-...&gt;, 170K Spanish-born live in the US. By contrast, 69K US-born live in Spain &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ourworldindata.org&#x2F;where-do-migrants-live-and-where-were-they-born?migrationCountry=United+States" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ourworldindata.org&#x2F;where-do-migrants-live-and-where-...&gt;. Given that the US (341 million) has 7.25 times Spain&#x27;s population (47 million), this means that a Spaniard is 17-18 times more likely to move to the US, than an American is to move to Spain.
