Lower tier Chinese cities are the budget king if all you care about is quality of life and cost. If you want pussy and weed and you're willing to slum it India is an even cheaper option but you will be making heavy compromises in your standard of living

>>2888729
Thanks but no thanks, China is blocked by all metrics with work. India is india.

SEA has enough countries to cycle through on visas, and I kind of like the slight culture changes. I just expected more from all the hype Thailand seems to get from everyone I know and people online. I never realized how much of a fucking steal HCMC was...

I'm sure vietnam is good but that's in the process of being enshittified like thailand. indonesia seems ok. malaysia sucks, thailand sucks, laos sucks, cambodia sucks, philippines is basically india but double the price. would rather cycle taiwan/japan/korea or something

>>2888740
Anon getting a Chinese visa other than the 144hr free one is not viable while here in SEA. I also have google-fi as my provider and yeah it works, but I'd rather not deal with the BS once my Data gets turned off after 90 days and have to deal with my self hosted VPN/VPS that can go down at any time. Due to whatever.

India, I don't care how much it is defended not doing it, especially with the cheapo flights being cancelled and the extreme temps+typhoons they get. We have offices there and when typhoons hit we have to basically play guess if they flood or not.

IDK where you plan to live, but 500 in taxes per month is for a mansion. Like your yearly tax might be ~1200-3000, assuming you apply for all the benefits and assess it for taxes. You'd have to be something really spicy there. Picrel, europoors would kill for these tax rates

A $150,000 home will require many thousands of dollars in repairs over the course of a few years of ownership. You'll also want to get a dog or two or three, because it's very lonely in the American countryside. Neighbors are kind, but they keep their distance and don't come wandering onto your property for a visit.

Also be aware that living in the countryside will leave you completely dependent on a car. As in, you will need two cars so that way if one breaks down, you can use the other while you are fixing the first one.

Dirt cheap life in America isn't really dirt cheap unless you're a rentcuck who scored a good deal within walking distance of a grocery store. Then you're set. Buying and owning anything has become a lot more expensive. Owning the shittiest shitbox for three years (sleeping in it for extended periods of time, and also driving it everywhere from Oaxaca to Maine) cost me about $500 per month over the period of ownership. American monthly expenses sub $1000 per month are disingenuous because they do not reflect the cost of major purchases like a car, an insurance plan for that car, a new phone or laptop, a plane ticket, or a car repair. Of course you can buy nothing, and let everything in your life fray into rags while trusting others to provide you a place to sleep. For years I couldn't abide the thought of not having my own place to sleep, even if it was a car.
>>2888866
Yes, but rent all over the world.
>>2888867
Most childhood homes in America have been sold for money by the family. That's all anyone who gets a house sees it as: an investment that you live in.

BTW why do you need to live with your parents? You're a free adult, you can live as a rentoid with somebody else's parents instead. Airbnb has opportunities to get your foot in the door of a pleasant shared house if you want to do that kind of thing.

>>2888864
Disgusting in winter. Damp and gray skies and polluted. Even in April, northern Taiwan was awful. Some of the worst weather of any place I've visited. The same bad conditions exist all the way down to Hanoi. You have to go to the protected side of the mountains (i.e. Southeast Asia and Vietnam below Da Nang) to get lovely winter weather. I'm talking 27 C and sunshine every day in winter. Not 10 C and raining for the tenth time this week.

That's not what they are charging for a place that meets your Western living specifications.
>just to be tethered to a home
Yeah, don't buy a home if you don't want to live in it lol. Makes no sense at all.

One way to get a house would be to vulturemaxx...care for an elderly homeowner who doesn't want to go to a nursing home, and get the house bestowed to you. Vultures don't kill...they must trust you not to give them the pillow treatment. Imagine living in that atmosphere for years, smelling the rot of a decaying body, dealing with the daily diarrhea wiping, all in hopes of getting a place to live.

if you owned a house and lived in it, your budget would be about the same. house gives you an asset that might appreciate, but if you ever want to travel you'll be paying two expenses at once. (the car/insurance/hoa/property tax/maintenance on your house on top of normal $800 budget)

Yes anon generally Zillow will do -- for no HOA that was just one example to show houses in the 150-180k range exist.
>if you owned a house and lived in it, your budget would be about the same.
Yes anon I know, however I still need to do things like a down payment, insurance, etc. I am living overseas to help build and emergency fund + housing down payment where I want to do either full or 50% depending. I got my investments and retirement finally back on track and paid off all meaningful debt (I don't count my monthly paid off CC). I make about ~90k/yr and would like to sock away ~48k/yr minimum. Which is more or less doable as I split my paycheck into a chime account and brick style bank. 2k/mo to Chime and the rest in savings.

You can go to city-data and then refine your search to whatever Rhode Island white tier libshit city possible. You fail to understand I am pointing out houses in bigger cities exist within the price range, yes you're going to need to fine tune it.

The problem people are picking out is that you and others make this point and literally every single time a specific example is provided its in a black hood. Comparatively affordable housing DOES exist as you describe but its almost always 350k-500k. <300k is almost guaranteed ethnic hood

Crime heatmaps are notoriously shit, anyone who's done apartment shopping or moved for work realizes these are built for Facebook mom's and Karen's. The place I lived back home was safe as could be, but crimegrade would rate it F because a few bars near the corner of the map they made had some bar fights, DUI, property theft/dine n dash, etc. These basically suck because the metrics are all web crawled BS with not validation or follow up, just reports.

Especially since you have overall crime selected, go look at the Dakota's or Wyoming. Random nothing burger Farm counties have D and F tier for absurd reasons.

Crimemaps operate over whatever reports are available on the web. Picrel, your international airports will be worse than the hoods of the USA because nothingburgers happen but the citations and filings happening at airports are classified more serious.

There are a lot of things that can fuck it up, AZ use to have a 0 tolerance .00 driving requirement where other states had .08 so the metric was fucked

>>2889214
dude your website is shit, again go hover over any major airport it will be blood red as one of the worst places to be. Oh wait it isn't.

The Crime Maps also don't take into affect what quantifies as a violation. In DFW stealing something over 100 dollars might land you in Jail. LA? Uhhh citation maybe if the cops show up to Tyrone stealing a PS5. There is no consistent standard as to what's actually at play because how state and local laws vary as to what qualifies as what.

If you're buying a house go live in the area for a bit, check out how things are at the church, talk to some locals at the bar, drive around take a few weeks to live there, etc.

Bars, and moreso colleges, absolutely destroy these types of sites because the crime might happen within a city or two block but the whole zipcode and surrounding gets affected.

The lack of enforcement some democrat states do also make these meaningless. Walking around in a see through thong covered in dildos might get your ass beat in TX and charged with some crimes, whereas LA you get people clapping hoping to be vindicated.

Again,
1) the map in question is in the middle of Dallas, TX - NOT an airport and NOT buttfuck nowhere, so your handwaving obviously holds less weight
2) the price tag of the house alone in/near a major metro area tells me what the crime maps page is going to look like before I read it, and allows me to conclude that the red coded map is more signal than noise compared to how it might be in [random place, NE]

>>2889220
How are you this dense?
The metrics the site use are fucked, meaning the data is fucked, meaning it can't be trusted as anything viable. Again, the map is meaningless because some states simply don't enforce the law where crime happens. The site also doesn't state how far back it's records go or when they pruge data, it even admits it's a guess

> the price tag of the house alone in/near a major metro area tells me what the crime maps page is going to look like before I read it,
This is like the debt fag who thinks a 10-12k used car to get to and form their job is le bad because "well the price..." so they go buy new 50k car to only wonder why they are poor. The house was built in 1962, it probably needs a bit of TLC but nothing breaking. Not everything is coastfag pricing

If a airline ticket is cheap does that mean it will be shit and the plane will crash because "took one look at the price! I just know!".
>allows me to conclude that the red coded map is more signal than noise compared to how it might be in [random place, NE]

No one is making the argument that low price = bad across all objects that have a price. It is however a totally reasonable heuristic in 2026 to say, houses <200k in major metro areas with no obvious, visible defects are almost certainly in bad neighborhoods.

I'm not saying that crime doesn't happen out in the farm country. It does, but very sporadically. A bunch of drunk hillbillies were thinking of rape when they pulled up to my SUV which was parked in a spot on the edge of a cornfield in literal bumfuck nowhere Missouri. An ex-con recently out of prison in Lincoln, Nebraska was sleeping on the roof, on his way to St. Louis for a Greyhound to Chicago. He was evidently a white bottom in prison, because he had learned to be timid and keep his voice low when dealing with other men. Hillbilly dude was leaning into the car like he was going to open the door, and I asked him to please take his head out of the window. You should've seen him jump back. Later on I basically said
>I'd really have hated to shoot you bro, you seem drunk but otherwise decent people
It was 2 AM on a Sunday morning btw. I had a 12 gauge shotgun laying next to my bed. At first we thought they were the landowners, but they said they knew the landowner and he wouldn't mind us spending the night in that spot. I told them I couldn't sleep in the noise and lights of a highway rest area. I needed darkness and quiet. That seemed to set off his rape instincts. He kept asking if I had oxy or pills or weed too.

Travel is shite in general. Everytime I've went to a hostel the curtains are closed and some freaks have sealed themselves inside their bed by putting up fabric to hide. Then you go outside and realise that just like back home this place also has Assholes.

Travel is only good if your filthy rich and can stay at luxury 5 star resorts and get taxis everywhere and go to the best restaurants. Also known as, being rich makes everything better.

>house talk on /trv/
Most anons here haven't ever lived outside their parents(no college dorm doesn't count) much less purchased a car right. You'll never have a discussion here about it because
1) half the board is European/Aussie where housing prices are fucked generationally and only meant for mid east migrants.
2) half the board is /pol/ brained and anything outside of a gated community or house in Maine is shit.

I've met up with expats before where I brought up the thought of buying a house in a few years. None of them have the mental fortitude to understand the equity value or change of life. Also for whatever reason buying in the USA, the place with lowest taxes, highest safety net, and lowest overall burden is 'le bad' because LOOK AT nearly* FREE SHACK IN X COUNTRY ANON!

It's a losing battle because most people here think they are forever young because some SEA slag will call them cute for 20 USD. Not realizing when 90% of then are forced to return home and find some living it's going to be fucked.

>>2889982
I'm not holding your bags boomer. World
population is declining and your ponzi scheme is running out of immigrants

>>2889983
Housing isn't the ponzi scheme, social security is. So what do you intend to do at 60-70? Pay a landlord 700-1000 a month for a studio as inflation is that bad, rather than just paying 50-175 a month in taxes for a house?

>>2889985
Your life is backwards. You are wasting your youth slaving for something that will never come. You will probably die in your 50s from being overworked goycattle. I have enough money right now to own a house in rural europe and I will buy it and sit it in when my dick stops working. Get your T levels checked if all you want to do is stay home and knit scarves instead of going outside and getting girls

>>2889982
There are places in the US where the math makes sense on home purchase for houses that are *BOTH PRAGMATIC AND DESIRABLE*. But of course anons will get a (deserved) kneejerk reaction against buying when they do the boomer "see this house in the hood is 102k, what are you lazy!?" bit that everyone's heard a million times already.

>>2888716
Yet another american expat realizes that the US wasn't so bad after all, many such cases

Anon I'm living in Asia and throwing 3k/mo into savings with 2k for fun money. It's more than enough, 800/mo would be hard. I live in Asia for 6-8ish months, europe for ~2, and see home for another ~2; maybe git good

Statistically yes, you will live to see your older years unless you intentionally do adverse things to shorten your life span.

>You will probably die in your 50s from being overworked goycattle.
I can actually retire when I am 50 even with kids because I work remote, went into this in my 20's and have a good nest egg saved. You just suck at finances.


>>2889996
See >>2889198
That one looks fine but will be gone in 6-12 months, you're going to easily buy a home in the 120-150k range for the forceable future as post covid forclosures sell for cash up front.

>>2890015
I think it's more OP being worded in a way to have an exit plan, and 99% of anons here going NO NO I AM STILL YOUNG SEE 37 Year old looks 17!!!!

>>2890015
The US is a fine country to be in and I increasingly miss it. Though I think it's also the ideal of having a home since I never had one.
It's mostly just the people that are so often miserable and drive you out thinking there has to be better. If so many Americans weren't so vile I would have bought a place to live many years ago and have a stable career. Instead I'm wandering around the world and will be wandering back into America in a while to scope and hope for a place to live that isn't just ripe with mental case malicious freaks.
I've already been down this road before though so I know to write off most of the country and not bother with it again, but I have a small list of places I want to check out as a last hope effort of having a place to maybe call home and only travel for targeted reasons rather than wander around and looking.

>>2890022
I retired at 28 and you're still working for no reason because you suck at finance and budgeting. Maybe you're doing good for your IQ bracket but not compared to the higher end

>I retired at 28 and you're still working for no reason because you suck at finance and budgeting.
Great, glad for you man I didn't strike the bitcoin lotto or whatever. Personally I just enjoy working my job, lot of freedom in it to direct how projects go. If I retired at 28, I couldn't see that turning out for better other than me getting bored and spending money on tech.

If you retired at 28, this thread should basically be irrelevant to you. Glad you're financially secure for the next 50-60 years! Cheers

>>2889847
You don't need to be rich, but you definitely need a certain threshold of spending money to have a good travel experience no matter where you go. Hostels should never be a matter of "that's all I can afford". At that point you are in fact too poor to travel.

>>2890027
For me the biggest downside of travel is eating at restaurants. Even when I pick and choose, I still end up eating so many shitty meals. The logistics of moving around the map become less stressful with experience. You make a list places that you can go to, then you select for those in an onward direction that have lodging available.

>>2890022

Why not work remotely

>>2890214
Yeah just walk up to the remote jobs tree and pick one

>>2890224
I mean yeah? Get some IT certs to throw on the resume, added to your work history, and indeed floods you with offers. Started working at 18 out of High School because I figured college was gay. 10 years exp at 28 and 6 fig offers is like breathing.

>>2890226
6 fig is peasant cope. Jobs worth doing start at 250k min and the good ones are 300-400k. That pay and full remote is not like breathing.

>>2890214
I do work remote. I live overseas and save more than I would living in Omaha with 10x the QoL in the meantime. Also even if you stay in the US IMO Omaha makes even less sense working remotely. I'd be happy to move there if my economic productivity was tied to the location but you are giving up QoL for very marginal if any savings compared to eg St Louis.

>>2890235
> St Louis.
Here we go again. Nigger loving faggit.

>>2890234
400k is peasant cope. Jobs worth doing start at 600-700k.

>>2890236
Im not the guy telling you to live in nig hoods. And I certainly wouldn't in St Louis. But STL County living + occasional urban forays would imo be a better lifestyle and not meaningfully more expensive than Omaha. But you're welcome to swap STL with any cheap, large-ish midwest city of your choosing

>>2890238

>>2890239
I have never said where I live or what I pay for housing anywhere in this thread, so no

>>2890306
I had two of those jobs and just showed up for meetings (from the beach of course) to maintain appearances.

Yeah, man, totally. I had some friends who bought a house in White Center (Seattle neighborhood) because they were totally going to gentrify it and make a fortune by buying a cheap house in the middle of niggerville. They were just fine. Of course, the neighbor to the rear of their house was a drug dealer, and when the neighbor to the south of their house went over there to buy drugs, the drug dealer got pissed off at her and blew her head off with a shotgun, but those crime maps are totally bullshit. I mean, who doesn't have neighbors like those? Whitoids living in sterile suburbia? Who the fuck even lives in suburbia?

A little bit. I find the cost about the same or a little less in Thailand in short term accomodations. The situation though be

>no life

>groceries

Almost irrelevant. I've dealt with some bureaucracy in Thailand and they'll speak English if needed. If not, Google translate can suffice for the basics needed.
>deal with locals for anything more than buying groceries
I study the language a bit and could at least read slowly. Almost anyone that would be willing to communicate with me though could handle some English though.
>wonder if nomads feel like they're in a completely foreign place
Yeah definitely. And that's a positive.
>if they had this feeling in their home country too.

Nope, that looks like a development full of nuevos americanos, i.e. Hispanics. Boomers live in 3000 square foot houses, not those little old places. Single family homes are not designed for solo living (which is an unnatural product of modern globohomo BTW, humans have always been tribal and lived in groups).
>>2891282
What does it matter who your neighbors are? Unless they are completely obnoxious noisy fuckers or else nosy fuckers, their existence is totally irrelevant to yours when you live in an American suburb.
>>2891269
$600 per month for rent leaves you $20 per day for everything else. Yeah, you're going to have to say "no" to everything, except maybe smoking weed. In states where it is legal and cheap, you can get high for $1 per day easily and forget about everything else.
>>2891259
It's really not as expensive as some of you think it is, provided you spent your whole life building the middle-class life you want to live in America instead of just renting any old place, taking any old job and then doing the commuter shuffle every day.

>>2891301

Hollywood paints it as nothing but farmers, racists who do methlabs in the barn, white Christian communities, nothing but corn and country; and above all else low paying jobs.

Realistically most people I know who didn't move to some frozen hell like Fargo or nowhereville Arkansas like it. However there are a few points that irk a lot of coasties:
-No mountains that are 4-6 hrs away for ski'ing, some people dread rolling hills only
-No beaches, waterparks and freshwater lakes only
-Less major flight hubs compared to port cities(mainly for international)
-Need a car for things and the average <30 american can not fathom buying anything not brand new. 10K A->B car? bfft
-Despite having normal bus systems with far less tolerance for liberal hell hole fuck ups, "NO HEKKIN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!1"
-Bars and communities are more homey, if you're a transplant you gotta leave your "IM FROM LA/NYC/PLACE AND BOY YOU GUYS DO IT DIFFERENT WHY DON'T YOU JUST..." at the door and share hobbies like a non tard.
-Seasons are more brutal than coastal states that often get the buffer of the ocean to help keept more moderate overall (inb4 from boston and we get snow!)
-women are fat pigs, many more do marry earlier but tons out there at normal everyday places to find good ones at (especially if you're a nerd)


Biggest sore thumb is the jobs aren't Silicon Valley 250k starting, but I moved to the midwest make 90k work fully remote now, far more job security, life is far less stressful. Traffic is far less an issue compared to coastal choke points, bars and restaurants don't feel like a rush to get me out the door for next person, dollar goes much farther, taxes are lower along with rent and fun events(most being free/nearly free compared to Coastal cities). Probably the final issue is if you are someone who tells tall tales you're going to be remembered as that unlike a city where EVERYONE try's to see how much they can get away with.

>>2894481
It has tons, what are you talking about? Companies are moving to the midwest in droves.

>>2895053
70k/y in midwest is and was fine. Personally I make 97k, that's about 30-35k over the median HOUSEHOLD income, of which I am single income.

lots of those 250k/yr jobs back on worst coast had/have issues, most people I know
-always being looked at by some HR karen for things (even during biden) no bullshit they'them stuff
-most people I know work close to the C level bosses and could talk them without their head being chopped off
-no worrying about "shit did I clock in before 7:59AM?, oh man 1hr lunch is cutting it close with that traffic time for a 18.99+tip food truck burrito at work
-holidays, specifically thxgiving/christmas are given much much more time off and leniency with company just being off for extended days
-I can take my vacations without having to beg and grovel on my knees for it like on the west
-houses don't get insane tax rates or fee's no fucking HOA karens
-overall cost of living makes anything over 70k feel like 150k

Most importantly my pay is my actual pay, no bullshit of 250k*** : 150k base pay, supplemented by: stocks no selling until you leave the company :) , free GAYWADS 24/7 gym 2000 dollar value!, FREE summer retreats to resorts please work with HR to schedule time to random_snow_town first! Taxes and Fees apply, 2 weeks off per year, company cell phone plan a 599 value!!!, LGBTQAI+ surgery forgiveness!

Worked for S&P 500/Fortune 100 style places and ones on it, all the same bullshit. When I take time off by boss leaves me the fuck alone, I asked if I could work abroad for a tad and just got "damn sounds cool anon you'll be online for the normal 9-5 right? Okay sure do it."

Owning a car gets you places unlike on the west coast, where you just get bottlenecked for 4 hours just to get out of the "hussle n hekkin bustle" of the city limits.

Oh and not having my city shut down every time some brown person cries on CNN, fent zombies turning into squatters, mega homeless problems creeping in everywhere, or other BS. Is worth it. If/when they manage to fix that without being forced to white flight again pushing you farther from work; I might look back at those cities.


For all the BS the midwest gets for fent/meth, most people do it in a very restricted area(unless you're in austin then lol).

Anon, most people here probably make the median household income lmao. That means 2 people.

Even if you only did 70k you're on the better half of most states in the midwest, easy to afford a home with that.

>>2895167
Yeah, adjust for inflation. You're bragging about roughly 75k pre Covid which was entry level at that time for a variety of skilled white collar professions.

Outside of like NYC and the Bay, the cost of living differential isn't that high. You're downwardly mobile, and proud of it because some retard with a podcast told you this owned the libs.

>You're bragging about roughly 75k pre Covid which was entry level at that time for a variety of skilled white collar professions.
Anon, if I wanted to I could change jobs yesterday get back into working for big names making 75k base with project bonuses and billed hours of 10-15k/mo. Seriously not that hard if you're willing to travel with work, bow down to an resller/VAR or MSP.

Problems are what I listed, I'll take 97k living in the midwest where I am just able to fuck off a few months a year to asia+live like a king. I just don't care to do the Hekkin daily stand ups, clock in clock out to the minute, HR stacy's, my job each fiscal year being questioned because H1B's or AI could replace me, dealing with every goy messaging possible, etc etc.

Just because you have big number on paper doesn't mean you're better, I know GS-12 and 14 people with tons of money+freebies but are dumb as brick laptop replacement techs.

>Outside of like NYC and the Bay, the cost of living differential isn't that high.
Yeah I too recall where I can get a 4BR 1288 sq ft place for ~1600/mo in those places, with a pool free parking community center and fitness center. 1br is still cheaper outside those places unless you are doing that share house style 3rd world shit or actually making section 8 income.
Only turdworlders and people who never lived on their own bring up LA/SF/NYC and go "it's practically the same".

Get back to me when you try to commute through them for work or better, want to go out after brownoid got arrested and protests are a block over. I have it sucks

Cheapest apartment I could find on apartments.com that isn't "studio" aka 1 bed with shared kitchen/living area and also being a real apartment complex not some rando's upper room in a duplex. Eyballing that it looks like ~200-275 sq ft, all for 1400 for THAT. What a steal! also don't factor in the much much higher tax/utilities.

You have a lot of chutzpah. But the reality is, you'd be pretty retarded to move from Austin or Sacramento to Indianapolis. Once you get out of the VHCOL metros, this whole "move to the Midwest because le cheap" becomes a far worse option, since you can't really arbitrage like some VHCOL worker doing it remote (who's now getting paid like a native Braxton).

>>2895239
Anon if you are happy living in a megacity sure, stay there believe me no one cares or shoud care where others live. Hell, I miss some of the things the coastal cities had to offer and have no real replacement for it while in the midwest. However, drop in the bucket compared to the overall net gains. The posts basically start from someone asking for the rundown of living in the midwest+bad rep.

>this whole "move to the Midwest because le cheap" becomes a far worse option
You understand the whole point of the conversation with the anon was to show that 70k is living well in the midwest which it is, not that you SHOULD move there. Follow the replies for context next time there anon.

Anon if this is "bad" what is good? Paying ever increasing rent till you are unable to pay when you are old? Don't Americans get like some infinite money when they turn old or something? Imagine telling this to someone who's only home that has 2br is >300,000 AUD and you're turning your nose up because something is cheaper in thailand.

FUCK RIGHT OFF

Looks like a boring chink suburb. It will just be you driving from your house to your job alone and having no friends. But at least you will have time to come on 4chan and copepost.

No it doesn't. Prices are ridiculous everywhere. As usual a dumb American is reacting to a situation from 15 years ago.

>>2895712
Are you actually stupid? No shit people aren't socializing to get fucking in the suburbs this is like complaining and apartment sucks because it doesn't have a bar on floor 1 along with a coffee shop for women to meet.

You go to the burbs to live, but you still go out to your hobbies like concerts, shows, events, etc around the bigger city. Dallas is fucking HUGE, if you have problems dating there, you are the problem not the scene.

>>2895852

you met your cow wife at a tim mcgraw concert or some shit, boomer? that's real cute but no thanks

You know an event can be like a 5k thing for charity right? Or Tough Mudder, or a Fall festival event, or even a fucking anime convention of all things. There are freebees anyone can get laid at like St. Patricks day bar crawl or Cinco De Mayo fest or fucking valentines day single events if you're desperate.

You must be one of those NPC that if it's not just doing a business transaction for a woman to touch you, then you're clueless on how to engage people.

Anon, scripted events are like speed dating, trivia nights at some bar like BWW or Chilis, or ladies night. How the fuck is a charity 5k event scripted? Because there is a finish line? 99% of the people there just walk and talk you shut in

>>2895873

They are very stupid and lazy.

Did you know that America also has "food banks" where you actually get groceries for free regardless of your income or status? You just drive up and pick up whatever you want, people post food bank hauls on youtube - you essentially get any supermarket goods they have, and you can cook with it instead of leaving half of your paycheck at the supermarket like in the EU. And the food banks in the EU don't give you shit unless you are certified 0 income 0 possessions 0 real estate poor person who has to report to the job center every week/month and has everything officially stamped and isn't allowed to earn any money.

>>2895223
What exact job allows you to just fuck off out of the country for a few months randomly?

>>2895925
Don't forget if you play your cards right and limit yourself to 25,000 USD/yr you can get 0 federal income and a slew of other tax benefits+gibs.

>>2895928
Plenty of remote IT jobs do, where I work I can spend all the time out of the country so long as I have a US address and keep my certificates up to date. I usually do 6ish months abroad, 6 months in the USA. My last coworker would just go live in Serbia for a while with his wife just having to work 4PM->12AM his timezone. Long as work is done and projects are met, at least my boss doesn't give a fuck.

We do have a policy of you can't use "my travels caused my delays" though and never tell HR karens that still go into our old office complex about it.

>>2895925
You're a disgusting Indian. Only a jeet would go to a food bank if they weren't in desperate need for it.

>>2895928

It's entirely possible to "retire" early if you play your cards right and don't get into a debt spiral.

>>2895987
"· The National Average Bill: Around $3,000 to $4,400 annually. Estimates vary from $2,937 (median) to $4,427 (average for a single-family home).
· The Effective Tax Rate: The national average is about 0.89% of a home's assessed value.

State-by-State Extremes

The difference between the cheapest and most expensive states is massive, often more than 10x.

· Highest Tax Bills (Often Northeast): Driven by high home values and local services. New Jersey leads with median bills of **6,542) and Connecticut (~$6,573).
· Lowest Tax Bills (Often South): West Virginia (~890) have the lowest median bills."
Your plan is solid, but it's a boring retirement. $3k in property tax is $250 a month. There are dozens of countries in the world you can live in for less than $250 a month in rent. That's a more interesting retirement plan to me than rotting next to a fent farm in west virginia
