It’s a few hundred dollars to get to Asia, less to Europe, and usually less than $100 to fly from country to country after that for 3 to 6 months at a time, visa free or filling out a ten minute e-visa application.
stack that up against $1,600 a month for an apartment in the states, plus insurance and car payments and all that bullshit, traveling is the vastly cheaper option.
do not evade taxes, get educated.
If you live outside of the US for 330 or more days out of the year, you qualify for the FEIE, Foreign earned income exclusion.
you fill out one more IRS tax form at the same time as all your other tax forms, and you don’t pay up to $120,000 in US income tax.
That’s the US tax code and is in no way tax evasion.
My bad didn’t realize how easy it is for anyone to have a few hundred laying around then fly to a new country every couple of months. It’s hard enough to move across a state let alone the planet. What visas do you expect to be able to acquire with such frequency? Work visas? Do you need to find a new job in a new country every few months? Pay double taxes for the first year? Learn 10 languages to find work? Have no friends family or belongings? Or instead of working should people be saving up all the money required to do this while paying all those US costs you’re saying are so high? How does a work visa work if you go the savings route? How do you find housing every few months? Blindly apply to places and hope you don’t stumble into a slumlord situation? Only monthly agreements? Where are you finding plane tickets from the US to Europe or Asia so cheap (this one is an actual question I want to travel and need to know)? If this plan works for you honestly that’s amazing I’m happy for you live your best life. But honestly who exactly do you think a majority of people are that they can just stand up one day and fuck off to the other side of the planet like they’re picking out new clothes?

You’re accusing beautiful countries with unique, fascinating cultures like Japan, France, Laos, Australia, England and 100 other countries of not being worth traveling to.
It’s easy to get to these countries, with or without a Visa.
every place in Western Europe is one visa-free plane ticket away.
other great countries are a connecting flight or train ride.
You can’t really be calling people ignorant while being so obviously clueless.
You cant just immigrate to another country at the drop of a hat. There’s a process, and a lot of times stringent requirements particularly for Western European countries if you aren’t already living in the EU.
“You definitely don’t just fill out an online form to move to my country permanently.”
wherever you heard that, you’re misunderstanding how travel works again.
If you want to move to one country and never move again, you usually have to become a permanent resident, which is slightly different than a visa process, but ultimately similar with longer waiting periods.
get out and stop paying taxes that finance policies you don’t support.
there’s plenty of other more affordable, beautiful places to live with all the modern amenities, plus the social services lacking in the US.
Getting to those countries is not exactly cheap or easy especially if the IRS is after you for tax evasion

Countries that are worth moving to are typically quite choosy about who they let in.

a visa takes 15 minutes if you need one.
Tourist visa, sure. The process to actually relocate somewhere is a whole different ballgame.
same process.
buy a ticket, hop over.
or buy a ticket, fill out a visa form, hop over.
whatever the type of Visa is, you check the requirements, fill out a(usually online) form, submit it and receive your Visa.
Dude, immigration is not as easy as you think it is.
It’s incredible just how detached from reality they are.
everything I’ve said is backed up with incontrovertible evidence.
You’re modeling fashionably ignorant cynicism because you don’t understand how the big, wide world works.

It’s genuinely amazing how far out of touch you are, I don’t even know where to start.
You definitely don’t just fill out an online form to move to my country permanently.

you sure don’t.
