Replying to @fluffynkind Local jobs pay local rates. And local rates - everywhere - are getting crushed by inflation. It's not a US-specific problem. It's a global problem. Wages aren't keeping up with costs in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, anywhere. So if your plan is "move abroad and get a job there," you're just signing up to be broke in a different language. The actual strategy is: create income that's NOT tied to the local labor market. Remote work for international companies. Consulting. Freelancing. Online business. Passive income. Income that doesn't care where you live because you're not competing in the local job market. That's how you move abroad and actually afford to LIVE, not just survive in a prettier location. Link in bio when you're ready to stop trading one broken system for another and start building income that actually works anywhere. 🆘🇺🇸

There's a lot of confusion about how you go about moving abroad in terms of what to do with your income. This person is wondering how do they make money if they move abroad? And here's what I want people to understand, is that there is a cost of living crisis everywhere in the world right now. The feeling that you're having in the United States were the amount of money that you get paid, not being able to keep up with the bills, that's happening all over the place. So if someone in another country, their local wage is let's say 300 US dollars per month, they used to be able to live off of that amount of money, but no longer can they do that. So everywhere that you would try to go and get a local job, you would feel that pinch also. You would feel like I'm getting paid, but I'm not getting paid enough to make all my bills at the end of the month. So this is the problem and that is why you have to be earning US dollars and bringing it into the new country because US salaries, even at the low end, are often at the extreme high end of other countries that you might live in. You might choose to go live in a country where the average salary of that place is equivalent to 750 US dollars or 1200 US dollars. And so therefore, if you're earning even just 3000 US dollars at remote income or through some sort of freelancing work that you created earning the US dollars and you bring that somewhere else where they get paid significantly less, that's how you have a comfortable lifestyle. That's how you free up money in your budget every month is by having significantly more than what the local population is earning. So the idea that you want to go somewhere and get a job there that is not going to solve the problems that you think it will solve because yes, you will be out of the United States, but you will also be feeling the cost of living crisis that that country is feeling if you're getting paid the same kind of wages that they're getting paid because they are suffering also in terms of being able to afford everything each month. I hope that makes sense and that's why I'm such a big advocate for creating remote income and creating passive income for yourself. If you need help creating remote and passive income, my group coaching program that launches in January is going to spend the first two weeks of our two month time period on creating that kind of income because I know that's a huge part of being able to move abroad is having that remote and passive income. So the link to join that group is in my bio and it will be launching in a couple of weeks so get on that and I hope to see you in there.

If picking a new country was as easy as comparing crime statistics and educational outcomes, than obviously that country would be overrun with expats. The best countries to move to are not one size fits all. Before you get your hopes up about any particular country, I suggest you take a step back. Determine your visa eligibility first. Some countries are trying to attract retirees. Other countries are welcoming digital nomads. And there are countries only looking for wealthy expats. Your income type and amount will determine what countries will take you. Schedule your exit plan call if you’re ready to stop daydreaming and start packing. #creatorsearchinsights

There are a lot of people who love the idea of moving abroad. There are fewer people who are actually ready to make it happen. If you have been stuck researching how to move abroad from the US, how to leave America, where to live overseas, or how to move abroad with kids, but you still do not have a plan, this page is for you. A lot of smart people get trapped in analysis paralysis. They keep consuming more content because it feels productive. But more information does not always create movement. Sometimes it just creates more confusion. You do not need fifty more tabs open. You need the right order of steps. You need a strategy that fits your life. You need someone who understands how to move from vague dream to actual plan. I help Americans who are tired of researching moving abroad and ready to start taking action. Follow if you want practical guidance, realistic next steps, and a clear path toward living abroad. 🆘🇺🇸
The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? 🆘🇺🇸
