If leaving the country is your dream then you should be taking aligned actions. But, what I hear over and over again is: “Find me a job, then I’ll move” “I’ll go if you’re paying for it” “You gotta convince my ex to let me go” “Once you find a cheaper way to bring my dog then I can go” The excuses are constant. Really? You are going to scroll on TikTok instead of finding solutions to these problems? This is a lack of tenacity that makes me think you don’t actually want to leave the country. 🆘🇺🇸 #TikTokEncyclopediaContest #creatorsearchinsights

One of the most disheartening things I see in my comment section are people that have just absolutely given up control of their lives The most common way this shows up is that people claim they want to move abroad But they only can if somebody else does the hard part They'll say I would move abroad, but you need to find me a job first or I would move abroad But you need to get my ex-husband to agree first or I would move abroad But you need to figure out how I can get my dog first. Oh, oh you want me to figure that out I need to figure out how to get you a job and convince your ex-husband and get your dog over there And this is what I call the outsourced my dream syndrome You claim you have this dream you claim you want to move abroad and Yet instead of being willing to do the hard part in order to make that dream come true You literally put that responsibility on someone else and say here. You handle the hard part Otherwise, I'm not going to live my dream. You're basically living your life waiting for motivation by miracle You've externalized your own agency over your own life and the big decisions over somebody else doing something for you You've made your happiness contingent on them doing that thing for you Otherwise, you're just waiting and you're waiting is conditioned on Somebody else's behavior instead of your own So what I say to those people who have outsourced their dreams is that if you actually wanted it You would dig in and be eager to solve the hard stuff Instead of pretending it's someone else's responsibility to do that for you If you don't know me yet, I'm Veronica and I've done a lot of hard stuff in order to move abroad I became a minimalist. I started letting strangers sleep in my bed by doing Airbnb in my own home part time I filled out endless paperwork for my family afford to be able to live on three different continents I convinced my parents to come live with us in Japan for eight months and did all of their paperwork I've written hundreds of blogs and created online content in order to make remote income I didn't outsource my dreams and neither should you if you are ready to make a change and actually dig in to where can you move join my 2026 global life accelerator where we will have 60 days of group coaching where you can figure out How are you going to do each of these steps everything from remote income to getting health insurance Qualifying for visas picking up schools for your kids abroad all of the steps are going to be in weekly sessions For 60 days right now it's on early bird pricing so make sure you click on the link in my bio and snag your spot before those sell out We're going to be starting January 1st to give you a whole new life where you are in control and nobody else

You can move abroad on SSDI. You cannot move abroad on SSI. Know the difference. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance. You earned it through working. It follows you to other countries and counts as passive income for visa applications. SSI is Supplemental Security Income. It's need-based and requires you to live in the US. Leave for 30+ days and your payments stop. If you're on SSDI, you're not stuck in America. Your benefits will continue in most countries, and passive income visa programs accept SSDI as qualifying income. The average SSDI payment is enough to meet income requirements in multiple countries. You just need to know which ones and how to apply. Link in bio for consultations on moving abroad with disability income. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights
Before you move abroad with kids, everyone tells you about the logistics. Visa requirements. School enrollment. Housing. Language barriers. But nobody tells you about the emotional complexity. These aren't deal-breakers. But they're real nomad family struggles. And if you're not prepared for them, they'll catch you off guard in month three when everything feels hard and you start questioning if you made a mistake. You didn't make a mistake. You're just experiencing the parts nobody warned you about. Moving abroad with kids isn't just a logistical challenge. It's an emotional transformation for your entire family. The families who thrive are the ones who expect that transformation instead of being blindsided by it. Link in bio if you want help preparing for the reality of moving abroad with kids, not just the Instagram version. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights
France or Thailand? Both are easy visa paths for Americans. But they're completely different lives. France gives you: European culture, proximity to other countries, four seasons, wine country, healthcare that's rated among the best in the world, access to the Schengen zone. Thailand gives you: Tropical beaches, lower cost of living, warm weather year-round, expat-friendly infrastructure, amazing food, island life. Neither is better. They're just different. The question isn't "Which country is best?" It's "What do I actually want from my life abroad?" Do you prioritize travel access or beach living? Cold winters or endless summer? European systems or Southeast Asian ease? Most people can't answer that question because they've never actually thought about what THEY want. They're just chasing what looks good on Instagram. Stop asking which country is better. Start asking which life you actually want to live. Then pick that one and go.

Replying to @thats_close_enough Americans will spend $200 on a bulletproof backpack for their 8-year-old and call that normal. Not alarming. Not dystopian. Just... normal. "Better safe than sorry." "Every little bit helps." "At least I'm doing something." You know what else you could do? Move to a country where bulletproof backpacks don't exist because they're not needed. My kids go to school in Portugal with regular backpacks. Because the threat they're designed to protect against doesn't exist here. Not because Portugal has better security. Because Portugal doesn't have a mass shooting problem. The fact that an entire industry exists to profit off your fear should tell you everything about how broken the system is. But instead of leaving the system, you're buying products to survive within it. That's not protection. That's acceptance. Link in bio when you're ready to stop accepting this as normal. 🆘🇺🇸
