They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

          Spend several hundred to move and get set up, cut your yearly expenses by tens of thousands of dollars.

          It’s not a tricky equation.

              No you won’t. It’s much cheaper to travel than you are pretending.

              My numbers are from experience and current ticket prices.

              It’s under $300 right now to fly to most countries in South America or Europe, the Bahamas, under $500 to fly anywhere in Asia and this is the most expensive time of the year because of the lunar New Year, my ticket last month was 270 usd from new York to Hong Kong.

                  Haha, no I’m definitely not.

                  Someone claimed specifically that it cost tens of thousands of dollars to travel to another country after I claimed these exact prices.

                Do me a solid. Just go get on a plane to any one of those places. Just step off the plane and just live there. No visas or any other nonsense. You’re the smart one and know better. Only 300 bucks to fly! These guys are just dumb.

                Go grab a job and just live there.

                Have fun, smart guy!

                  Have done. Yes, that’s correct, no other nonsense. It’s why I encourage others unhappy with their financial lot in the states to do the same, because it’s so simple to change one’s life.

                  As a note, visas are not some unobtainable holy grail. You fill out a,few pages of an application, pay 30-60 bucks and you can stay in the country you choose for extended periods , often years rather than months.

                  It takes twenty minutes to fill out most visa applications, it’s not the complicated, herculean talk you’re making it out to be.
