Of course, it is feasible, but leaving the country I have grown up in is even scarier than leaving a job that I've relied on. I've only traveled out of the USA once and it was on a cruise to the Bahamas. I don't count on going to Puerto Rico for a few weeks.
I have dreamed of traveling the world and experiencing new places, but jumping shit and moving somewhere that I've never even been and being impossibly far from my family sounds a bit less than ideal.
You make an excellent point about drastically lower costs of living. I was obsessed with Thailand at one point. I even started following @laddawan just to see what rentals were like over there. The prices are absurdly low and you get to be in such a beautiful place. So yes I have definitely fantasized about something like that before, but am not sure if now is the time for me.
How easy is it to continue to live over there? Did you just get citizenship? Or what?
Also has USA tried to haunt you with taxes? Or are you detached from this place altogether?
I thought citizenship was pretty hard to achieve but wasn't sure what you had done.
$1,000/year isn't much when you factor in just how much you are saving by being there.
Thank you for the explantion. I know this is really only something I could learn from somebody who has actually lived through the process.
Here is to getting back out there and seeing/experiencing some more new things. For you, me, and everyone else who has been held back by all of this.
