I love America so much that I was heartbroken when I moved out! What a beautiful place with so many opportunities and wonderful people yet the past 10 years were so difficult! From taxes to dealing with hateful people to the very low quality education and healthcare! I’m still heartbroken and I wish things change for the better.

When I retired in Jan 2020, I went to Asia for two months (intended to stay for several more to do humanitarian work, etc., but Covid intervened). When I came back, I was interrogated about why I went to Asia for two months. They went through my bags, my phone photos (assuming I was a pervert) and tested a souvenir for cocaine powder.... Seemed the agent was determined to find something. All on assumption or a hunch based on that fact that I was single and went for an extended period of time. No criminal record, I have Global Entry (FBI background check required).... appalling. I am going for second citizenship in Lithuania under Citizenship Restoration program. Maybe additional citizenships. Come back to see family and friends, admin. stuff. Have not spent more than 3 months per year in the USA since 2021. Life is good.

It's worth it to swallow your pride and just let them waste their time going through all your stuff and finding nothing, and badgering you with endless questions. It's a 15 to 30 min inconvenience and hassle versus not cooperating and being detained for hours, days, could be weeks if they decide they don't like you. Then you have to pay legal fees, buy new plane tickets home, probably get in contact with an embassy. Not worth it.

The US is a sick country. Its stressful to live here due to toxic politics, high inflation, high crime, high taxes, crumbling infrastructures, traffic, road rage, joblessness, health staff shortage, high cost of gas, high cost of electricity, plenty of scammers in everything, corrupt governmental agencies, trashy and lying news media, etc. etc. In a lot of parameters, America is worse than many third world countries or countries in the Middle East. I voted and participated in the electoral process in the hope that things might change for the better but pragmatically, I think America is beyond saving, its not worth saving. If I am younger and have some money, I would leave in a heartbeat and not come back.

The toxicity in the US is high. Fortunately a couple potus terms ago I disengaged in conversations with family and friends about politics, it was a great choice. Parents both passed on since then, so glad we stayed away from that for most part. My fear about the US is that so many folks are fired up about things and are so uninformed or misinformed. No one reads anything. So the education level is plummeting in the masses and working classes, and the passion about things is rising. I just read George Washington's farewell speech 9/17/1796 about 20 paragraphs in, he talks about not getting too caught up in the spirit of party, this party vs that party, you/me, them/us, etc....even warns against getting too regional in hardline group think so to speak. He goes into US relations to world as well. Of course basically what he warned about happened years later in the civil war. And today his words are playing out in real life, it is uncanny, he talks about a party spirit dominating too much over another, leading to misery of mind that then "gradually inclines the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual......." Anyway, I read these forefathers writings, predicting of dangers, and you see the dangers here. I don't think we are totally done yet, but it took a 250 yrs or so to get here, not sure if there is any way to get smart again. I think US is still productive, innovative, and has superb university offerings and training, but I think the working class (my early background) is fodder for the cannons of division and political power seekers. And I suppose there is a limit to how much one can live with that before thinking about options.

There are many places in the US where you don't have much worry about violence. They are out in the suburbs or in rural areas. The media plays up this side of violence, but it is not the whole picture. This may change, and likely could due to economic collapse, but that has not happened yet. If economic collapse hits the US, the rest of the world could also be in one. There are many reasons to leave the US, but this is not a great one. Many countries have dangerous areas or could have regime changes or wars break out. As times get hard in a country, their citizens may not be happy about non-native citizens migrating to their country--likely buying up the choice property. I have read that citizens in Portugal and New Zealand are now questioning property purchases by non-native citizens. I think you are better off keeping dual citizenship if you can. In case of world wide war, the US is geographically more isolated. If you have war in Europe or in the Asian rim countries, you are much closer to conflict. So the idea of safety is more nuanced.

Americans live in a world of video entertainment, look at the recent elections, they appear more like a traveling music show, than a tour of political ideas and Americans are taught to fear anything foreign. The American story is a hero story motivated by a fear of the other. The real quality of life in the USA is dropping and the USA is isolating Americans for a virtual world.

I was born to a British expat in the US, and haven't been there since 2004. I've been using a British passport to live in Germany, and haven't missed the US at all. It's much safer in Europe and much easier to get around. Plus, you don't have to worry about winding up homeless due to a sudden medical emergency. Besides being one of only two countries in the world that has citizenship based tax laws, the US has also tried to make it difficult for people with US connections to have a bank account and investment accounts abroad. This doesn't only apply to US citizens. Even people who have held a green card within the past three years are considered US tax residents, regardless of where they are in the world. As I'm worried that I won't be able to open a bank account if I move to a new country, I'd like to renounce my US citizenship. That costs over $2,000. There is some talk that the fee will be reduced to $450 soon, but there's no word as to when it's going into effect. When I contacted the US consulate in Frankfurt about getting a renunciation appointment, I got an email back warning me about the grave consequences of losing my US citizenship without any specific mention of what they would be. If US citizenship is so valuable, it's odd that it costs so much to get rid of it.

The U.S. is an insane asylum. If I had the means, I’d move somewhere where there was a saner, more rational society. It’s just understanding your self worth. If I had means, I’d had been gone a LONG time ago

Yes it’s an asylum because you’re crazy enough to think you can’t leave. Work everyday and eat salads then take $5000 south of the border. That’s like $100k in most those countries and you can start a new life…

I was studying a foreign language, getting ready to leave. I talked about it proudly. I never hid anything on my phone or internet activity. I was at the point that I needed to make very serious plans and pack up. Suddenly a company I had worked for a number of years ago reported to the IRS that they paid me 250k , which I was never paid and now I owe 43k in taxes. I told the IRS to show me the transactions from this company to my account and find that money and I would gladly pay half of it to taxes, because half would be more than enough to leave. No game. I literally was told that I pay or can commit suicide but I'm not going anywhere. Still here.

I’ve lived in Japan for almost 1 year and 3 months now and going. I like it here and don’t plan to move back to the United States. After I get permanent residency I am considering going after Australian citizenship so I can country hop in the future and pick the climate I want to live and work in seasonally. Also working on citizenship by descent in Italy. Maybe I’ll consider Argentina in the long-term as well since citizenship only takes two years there.

It's funny how the mainstream media doesn't cover this guy. Or the thousands of people commenting about escaping the US/west. I left the US and will MAYBE only go back one more time to visit friends and family that I miss. If I ever step foot in the US again it will definitely be my last. Living like a king in South America now and glad to be watching the the fires of the US political and social structures from afar instead of being in it. I moved to South America, bought a car in full within 2 months, and just closed a deal on my first house which most of my generation cant even begin to imagine doing in the US. My wife can be a stay at home mother when we have kids and I can support us and our large new house with my single income. Not to mention for the first time ever in my life I've had more than $100 in my savings account. Up to $13,000 now (all within about 7 months) and also have extra money to put into a retirement account and other investments. My life has completely changed since I left the US. We joke about it and my family calls me an "american refugee" but the truth is that more and more people are wanting to escape the USA and are finding it difficult to because of finances, visa/residency challenges, etc. Keep doing what you do Andrew. Giving people freedom means getting people OUT of the United States.

I left the US decades ago and have zero interest in ever returning. Though I had been back on holiday once and business twice and on all occasions couldn't leave fast enough. TSA was a nightmare because you felt like they wouldn't let you leave and they looked at you as if you were a criminal. I didn't breath a sigh of relief until the mains touched down in Hong Kong, I was back home in Asia. The American dream is just that, a dream and you have to be asleep to believe it.
