Not true unless you set up PERMANENT residence and never come back. You'll owe state tax.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81075714



^^^^ see the mindset? You MUST obey laws, it's ingrained
into most Americans. Mexicans wouldn't even care, they
ignore it.

You have to start thinking like that if you leave the US.

exactly.

what's the US gonna do, send an auditor to Peru?

send the IRS police to Peru?

They'll file a complaint with Peru, and if you've
built the relationships, Peru will keep losing it.

Re: Pretty much made up my mind to leave the USA
So, I think they call them globalists for a reason. There is no escape only running from one place to another. Eventually you will grow tired and settle. Why not just settle know and just do the next thing that feels right.

If/when it hits the fan we will need people who are strong inside and out to bring sanity back to be a rock for others. So if your a coward then you should go. Wouldn't your life mean more trying to help what's around you then to run from fate?

Funny how people love Hero movies, but when asked to be one and then realize how scary it really is, they want to run...lol

In case you're wondering, people here are not very fond of you guys. Only treat them with some respect as long as they have some money to give away. The moment you are broken and poor like us, you automatically become worse than us. Since you said yourself you don't own anything, better not even try.
 Quoting: MaybeTrollingU


This is true ^ OP. Better re-think your plan. Very dangerous idea right now. If you are looking for ocean joy, try the Florida keys, it's like a whole different country.

I've traveled the world and although you may make a couple of real friends in other countries, in general the Yanks are pretty much despised except for their money.

This world is already pretty dangerous, people disappear every day of the week. Wait until the now inescapable famine is in full force and the new pandemic they have planned is released on us. Then add some economic catastrophe and wrap it all up with a pretty pink bow. You'll be wishing you were fishing on the Suwannee River.

Clearly AC has never been anywhere else.

I'm sitting on my balcony enjoying the springlike weather that's about the same every day, no need for heat or A/C, gas, electric, water and sewer are ~$35/mo, cable, phone and internet ~$28/month for double the speed in the US so it works out to about 1/8 the price. Good full coverage health insurance with the best company is under $50/month and as head of the houshold covers my wife and daughter at no additional expense.

Is it perfect? No, nothing is, but it's a damn nice change and I can't really think of anything I'd change. I certainly can't imagine downgrading and moving back to the US.

For now. What when Columbia collapses into revolution again? Flee back to the U.S.?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81075714


That's not going to happen but you need to understand some of the history of Colombia, who funded that in parts of the country and why. I didn't flee to Colombia anyway, I moved here, I'm a legal immigrant, it's my home now so I won't be "fleeing" anywhere.
If I had a dollar for every time I got suspicious...

Op the USA is a cesspool yes but it is a high class cesspool. I work overseas and let me tell you you want stand a chance overseas. you will be ripped off and beaten in matter of minutes where ever your thinking of going. Oh yea most countries have real border control unlike america. They dont hand out visas.

Wait to the first time you get sick and need a hospital you will suffer a painful flight home.

You retards scream this shit but have no idea how great you have it here. SO STFU and deal with it. If you go overseas you probably coming back in a body bag. FYI most of the world hates americans these days yes that means you OP no matter your politics you are a american and they hate that!!!

The best medical care I've ever received was in Mexico City and Thailand.

In fact, I've flown several times to MXC from the 'medical hub' of Houston for better medical care, and including flight and hotel, it was less expensive than in the US.

I've had the great fortune of lots of international travel for long periods of time. You are full of shit...or you are chosing the wrong countries and don't know how to conduct yourself while there.

Re: Pretty much made up my mind to leave the USA
The US lies about everything and 90% of the people believe the lies. I am tired of being sprayed like a cockroach with chemtrails. The official position is that this a conspiracy theory. It's not. Today the chemtrail planes covered the blue sky in Florida. This never happened in Saudi Arabia, and yet the temperature never reached the point where it was too hot to work. Why are they poisoning Americans with chemtrails, fluoride, vaccines, hospital protocols, lockdowns, and everything else under the sun. I would like to live free of chemtrails for one. They are not cooling the planet. If the temperature gets too high in Florida, it normally starts to rain. But the chemtrails dessicate the clouds and heat up the surface. Scientists are retarded, as you well know. Because they work for the government which is absolutely insane. This Biden POS was placed in office to bring about the collapse and everyone who was let into the Capitol to protest the stolen election was arrested. The entire Congress and Supreme Court needs to be arrested. You are very wrong if you think you have done anything to stop this government. You have done nothing. So you better run while you can. Get out by any means. You pay nothing to the US government working overseas.

Indeed. My grandfather who fought in WWI would be packing his bags, too, given these circumstances. We didn't defend the Republic; 'representative' politicians sold out; gov captured and commie-totalitarian-globalists took over. This won't change.

It's curious, though, that so many people in this thread are quite invested in selling the "it's the best place in the world" narrative. Why are they so invested in what others do?

Re: Pretty much made up my mind to leave the USA
OP, Went on a blind date, long before the pandemic, with an ex-pat who'd left Vegas for Costa Rica.

Yes he still returned annually to Vegas to briefly visit with his family and old friends.

So I asked him his very honest opinion of life abroad. Keep in mind he retired in his early 40's and is child-free, single, loves the beach & mountains. Yes he learned Spanish.

1) Locals view Westerners as rich, petty theft is rampant and local LE are lackadaisical.

2) If you're not Catholic & didn't grow up in Costa Rica you will always be viewed as an outsider. You can't own a business unless you marry a local. Not being Catholic he spent Sundays at the local Italian restaurant with the other ex-pats. (Owner married a young local girl.)

3) Bugs are a HORRIFIC problem and are EVERYWHERE especially during the rainy season. Think HUGE bugs in the toilet, in the bathroom, in the kitchen. NOTHING gets rid of them.

4) Anything that's not locally grown/made is very expensive. He arranged for family members to buy products from Amazon and then to ship it to him to save money. Took forever to get simple needed goods.


Yes he still loved living in Costa Rica and got used to all of the downfalls. Still be forewarned.

Similar situation here, but I went to an isolated area and made an effort to assimilate. I'll never go back. The beaucracy in this country is insane, but the way of life is worth it.

An earlier poster mentioned high property prices in Europe, this may be true in Northern Europe, but if you can deal with it, look to places a long way from the cities. Your 300k will buy you a farm if you shop smart.

Look at some of the Greek islands, good climate, relaxed living and great food, if that's your thing. Many expats everywhere too.

Somewhere in South America overlooking the ocean. I can still make money as long as I have an internet connection.

There are some good expat youtube channels

It's become an embarrassment to live in a country where
many of our major streets are lined with tents that people live in but all of the headlines are about when hotels are gonna open in space.
