I'm not on a tight budget either (trying to understand how the NHR 2.0 will or won't affect me is a big unknown, but at least healthcare and living expenses should drop significantly compared to Northern California). But I am very concerned about the, IMO recently greatly increased chance of a significantly weakened UDS, and much more difficulty in accessing them in the near future. Living in the EU and keeping everything I own in US-controlled investments feels like an increasingly unjustifiable risk, so putting say 20% of assets into EU institutions and assets feels like a good backup.

Your point about property as a hedge is well-taken, but it would be a couple of years before I could be ready for that. Right now I'm just working on finding a lease for the upcoming visa application.
