"I have no idea what you mean by reducing cost of living"
imagine you have to pay $800 in rent.
that $800 is your cost of living.
imagine that next month you move to a different house that costs $400 in rent.
you move there and now pay $400 per month.
that is a reduced cost of living.
I’ve been traveling longer and I travel for a living, not that any of that is relevant considering the differences between the visa and passport are freely available online, yet you handwave that away. You conveniently sidestep travel costs. Maybe they’re easy for you. That’s not the case for many. I can’t believe you skipped past that along with living expenses. There are serious limitations to who can rent/own in some countries, local banks are usually required, asset transfers abroad are limited by the US along with limitations by the destination countries on how much money a foreigner is allowed to hold in an account. Maybe you’re EU where relocation is relatively simple or some other country where CoL is cheap, I can state for a fact that there are plenty of hurdles to relocating from the US to many countries. We are actively exploring it and it is absolutely not as simple as hopping on a plane, renting a flat, and taking in the local cuisine at the cafe on the corner.
"I’ve been traveling longer"
you've had to look up the difference between passports and visas. you are not a traveler.
I didn’t post the differences between passport and visa for your benefit. I posted it to encourage others to look for themselves. Differences you haven’t explained yet? Why the fuck are you wasting my time when in three separate posts you choose to “nuh uh bro” me and not explain shit. Useless.
I don’t know what to do with your ridiculous views. The facts surrounding immigration and employment in desirable countries is freely available and plainly place plenty of restrictions and barriers to meaningful long-term residency. It’s designed to be hard.
You keep posting your personal views with zero references.
But mostly, If immigration, residency, and employment in foreign countries was cheap and easy like you say everyone would fucking be doing it all the time, not just desperate boat people with nothing to lose.
I’m done with you.
"But mostly, If immigration, residency, and employment in foreign countries was cheap and easy like you say..."
didn't say that.
if you need help, ask.
