Technically your money would be worth about 50% more than it is over there, which can be a rather substantial number. I recall that prices in pounds over in England were about the same as prices in dollars are for the same basic good or service as well, so it may indeed work, depending on how the exchange rate is at the time.
There's this concept known as the exchange rate. Your pounds will turn into more dollars. But it's a ratio. Those dollars will buy you as much in the US as the pounds would have in the UK. For the most part anyway. Keep track of another concept known as "the cost of living". That'll factor in too.

Move to Canada.
Dude, by the time you're old Great Britain will have been sucked into that lame currency that they call the Euro, which sucks compared to Pound Sterling, damn Yurop!
Anyway, why the hell would you want to live in America? If you want loads of money move to somewhere in Africa, Eastern Europe or Asia. If you had £2 people would think you are a millionaire.
Move to mexico instead. Then you'll be a PESOAIRE.
People used to talk about moving to Mexico all the time years ago, but that's died off. I wonder why.
They realized being rich in mexico doesn't really matter 'cause it still sucks
Living in the United States isn't as easy as some might think.
If you're going to move to an urban area like San Francisco or New York, you could be making 100,000 a year and still barely scraping by. Same goes with many of the good suburbs.. they're just as expensive or MORE expensive. Then again, if you want to live someplace cheap and work there as well, you won't be making much and you'll be living in a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] ghetto full of illegal aliens and nothing good to do for miles around. Even some of the urban "ghettos" are expensive to live in simply by location...
Er, my point is... all the "good" places in the U.S. are likely a lot more expensive to live in than you would think. If your plan is to move here to save money... try L.A. for a year and you'll be back in the UK by day 366.

Come to Australia. Our dollar isn’t worth anything, and we’re all racist idiots that can be taken advantage of easily. It's win-win.
