It is not expensive to leave the U.S. Many of the costs people crash out about are just imaginary. Anytime you are saying you HAVE to do something in the moving abroad process, you should take a step back. You absolutely don’t have to do it that way. My family of 4 left the U.S. with 8 suitcases and a one way plane ticket to a country we had never been to. You can leave the U.S. today and be living abroad by tonight if you actually wanted to. Stop creating fake barriers between your dreams and making them happen. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights

who convinced you that leaving the U.S. was expensive? Was it an influencer? Was it your uncle who's never left the city that he was born? Was it yourself because you are scared of what's going to happen once you leave? It doesn't matter who tried to convince you. I am here to tell you you absolutely do not need to be rich to leave the U.S. My family of four left the United States five years ago with less than $3,000 in our bank account. We didn't know what we were going to do. We didn't realize that it was going to be a forever plan. And since then, now we've lived on three different continents. Now, would I tell you that somebody with no money should go move to Tokyo, Japan, where we live for two and a half years? Absolutely not. That is the most expensive city to live on the entire planet. And I do not advise anyone who is flat broke to be searching for places in Tokyo. But are there places in this world where you can move if you are on a shoestring budget? Absolutely. And that's the key. You can't be choosing the most expensive locations. If you're telling me you're broke, you're not moving to Denmark. You're not moving to Switzerland. You're not moving to most western European countries. But that does not mean you aren't allowed to leave the U.S. There are many options. And it's about adjusting your expectations with your reality. In order to leave the United States, you need to have enough money to get your birth certificate and your passport. If you have those things and some airline miles from a credit card, you could leave the United States for good. You don't need to have a ton of money in your bank account. You need to be able to get on a plane and physically leave the country. Do not add in a bunch of extra costs. Thinking to yourself, "I need a U-haul. I need to buy a storage unit. I need first and last months rent. I need to add in all these other expenses that you're imagining. You don't need to do those things. End your lease and leave the country." It might sound harsh, but all the money excuses that have ever been thrown at me since I've been talking about moving abroad have all been utter bullshit. You either need to cut your expenses, increase your income, or stop making up expenses that do not exist. You are able to leave the country just not to those super expensive ass ones. Choose some more cheaper and there are plenty of options. A huge problem that I see from people who are thinking about moving abroad but have convinced themselves they can't is that they can't distinguish between reality and Instagram highlight reals. Any option that gets you out of the United States will be safer, calmer, freer. All of the good things that you want from your life can happen abroad. It might just not look like those Instagram stories. And that's okay.
