Getting married and moving there is no problem whatsoever so long as you don't have a criminal record that would prevent you from entering the US otherwise. Working there is another matter and will cost mony and take time, even if you are married to a US citizen.
To the OP, yes I would consider it. Six months ago I would have said yes in a heartbeat but things have changed slightly and I'm stuck here for at least another year or two.
Material possessions don't mean as much to me as I thought they might, and some even less in the grand scheme of things. I'm moving and parting with some stuff I've had for twenty years or more, so getting rid of the rest wouldn't be as big a deal as it once might have been.
I don't think people's morals have changed much overall and I don't believe everyone is out for themselves alone. I'm out for myself but if I was with someone, I'd be out for them just as much or more than for myself.
Maybe people are more afraid to try new things, take chances or simply afraid of change. Things change even if you don't like it and why not steer them into a positive direction if you can. Each day we all get older and who knows what tomorrow will bring.
You might end up giving up something in taking a chance but who knows what you might miss if you don't.
