I can tell you from experience that no developer I have ever met in my career want to move to the US. Sorry to burst your bubble. And it's not even a question of money for most of them.

That's not a typical European middle class citizen. Typical European middle class citizen already bought a house within that timeframe.

Not sure where you're retiring but it's not going to be Europe because you would be way, way off money wise since you don't own anything.
