Having lived in a South American country for the last couple of years has shown me just how unhappy Americans really are. Road rage, social media insults, distrust of each other, theft, indifference all show this.
Moonspots , you hit the spot , nailed it on the head , I often dwell on the same B.S. and question why are Americans carrying all this anger , and it's dangerousouly contagious.... No tolerance for one another , human happiness and value is depreciating rampant in the West.... The issue at hand lies in the constitution , laws , and government....
I retired to Portugal 3 years ago at 48. Even as a self employed medical professional with a 1% income, I realized I'd have to basically work forever just to keep a home and a normal lifestyle. The American dream means being a slave for life. No thanks.
American-born Chinese here, left after graduation best decision of my life. The US is only remotely comfortable for the upper 10%, everyone else is plucked......
Not even the 10%. More the upper 5% can be comfortable now. I know plenty of people ( such as my myself) that have great jobs and earn at least a 6 figure salary that are still struggling! End stage Capitalism is only designed to support the 1%
There is an abundance of intelligent people who are now living in cars, tents, hotels, rooms, hostels, etc. fully willing, capable, knowledgeable, skilled, gifted, that desire to go where they shall live their best life. An incredible stance, Andrew. May others follow your lead.
I am so bored. Taught globally English from 2008 to now. In 2023 built a house on the beach, Vietnam, nha trang. Built, paid in saved cash. No property taxes, trash and street cleaners daily, no tipping in Vietnam. Over 100k saved. Life is to easy. If you struggle, look nationally or internationally for resources and opportunities.
The comparison between homelessness in the US and Dubai is absurd. In the absolute monarchy of the United Arab Emirates, being unemployed gets you expelled. Human rights breaches and exploitation of construction workers are commonplace in Dubai's shadowy underbelly.
@@spike983 Please explain the following: 1. Getting expelled for being unemployed that only applies to foreigners? or to citizens too? 2. What if somebody is temporarily unemployed but looking for a job? No help? They expel the person after how long of being unemployed? 3. Human rights breaches exploitations seem to occur less than before, when they do occur usually happens against non-Arabs and non-whites, such as towards African blacks and Indians and dark Asians, so it's no issue if you are white or Arab, especially if you are white, they treat whites even better than they treat some Arabs. 4. UAE it's not an absolute monarchy, each Emirate has a different faction, and they have some kind of local elections for municipalities etc.

I left the US in 2009, moved to a small country in Asia, saved a lot more money, and reduced my stress dramatically! Unfortunately many Americans still think they are the "freest/best" country in the world, and everything wrong with their lives is China's fault. Very scary amount of unfounded hatred, based on extreme ignorance...
US Americans say that for cognitive comfort. Most US Americans can't come to terms with the fact that the US is falling. Slowly but surely. So to think that elsewhere is better and for the first time in history, they may actually have to leave the US for a better life, is daunting. It's a survival mechanism. Look at some of the comments on here. People are still saying the US is the best. It's a stale old comment.
Same! 2009 I moved to Asia for 6 years. Back in the US now because job prospects there for foreigners was abysmal. At this point, though, I'm sorry I left. I'd rather be an English teacher there making a pittance that buys a good life than making much more money here yet still can't afford to live comfortably.
@@LostintheUS-2030 They get it from the bloviators from the top.

You know a country doesn’t care about seniors when their retirement benefits (Social Security) is subject to taxation. Even in retirement you are nothing more than a revenue resource for a profligate government. That’s why more Americans are moving abroad to retire The will live longer and experience less stress. America is indirectly ending life prematurely for its residents
@@leinster22 hopefully people are aware that if you leave in retirement your money is going to be taxed, the government here will not allow you to leave without taking a cut! Yes, it’s going to get a piece of you one way or another because that’s what America does. Of course they’re ending lives sooner here and yes on purpose. See basics of the job system here as it’s set up to end many careers prior to retirement, being let go when you hit a certain age, being forced to leave earlier due to health concerns in Blue Collar jobs and it happens to many! My dad retired early and had to leave the USA due to poor health, he couldn’t physically continue to work and his social security would have put him in the projects or worse. Poverty is not something that seniors should have to contend with as they age here but many do as the cost of living is out to get you now. Few jobs are actually safe from age discrimination in the USA! If you’re older you’d better pick up new skills, start your own side business while still employed or make sure the industry you’re in doesn’t depend on age to get the job done. God forbid you look, sound, or act older as you age that can be an early nail on the coffin in this country and the end of being able to afford to actually live. Also, living here is expensive but existing here not necessarily as long as you’re aware that certain necessities are going to be out of reach. These necessities are basic human rights in many developed countries but apparently not here!
My Son lost his job last year in November and took 8 months for him to find another job 😢American dream is a nightmare, A lot of People are struggling in this Country.
I am in Russia now, and USD is about 3-4 times more valuable here than in the US. If I could have my American salary here, I would live like a king. Even $31k/year would be high income in Russia and probably in other 50% of the countries.
Sadly 31K isn't even enough to survive in most places of America. That would be considered a starting young adult salary. More and more adult Americans now living with their parents (or parents living with them) to save money when we were used to separate living situations in prior generations. If you aren't living with parents you are living with roommates or a girlfriend or boyfriend on a salary like that, it almost doesn't matter where in the US you live now. Yes inner cities are more expensive but the outer lying rural areas are now climbing in cost as well. A thousand things could trigger this to get worse. We all know it's not sustainable but were like frogs in a boiling pot. I wish our two countries could find a way to make peace. We could really use a strong partner to run and defend Europe in our absence because we simply can't afford grand military interventions like this anymore. It's not good for Russia and it's not for United States. It's sinking the world system.

Make sure to buy a residence, if Milei totally succeeds, RE will skyrocket. If he halfway succeeds, RE will go up a lot, and wages will go down. If he fails, inflation will come roaring back but RE will still go up a lot.
Go for it!! You have the chance because of your on line income. With your budget you can live in any latin American country, having your own place. Regards from México! 😊
The big problem for Argentina is the path the country is taking, the problem will not be the price of things, but the availability, Argentine capital is leaving the country, thousands of businesses will close and there will be shortages of goods, which which will make them more expensive, in one year your 1300 dollars will not be enough to have a good life in Argentina, you will be able to survive but with only the basics. By the way, you are in for a culture shock regarding the number of products you can buy and consume. I recommend that you travel to several countries before settling in one.
lmao americans complaining when it's 10x worse in europe First off you are not invaded by AFRICAN MIGRANTS like we are Ok you have latinos, they are still kinda white and christian and more civlized trust me unemployment is 3% goddam percent, we are at 8 up to 12 in some regions here If you work in STEM or finance it's a no brainer , USA is BETEER You just think the grass is greener but it's ok it's just Nomad Capitalist to paint a darker picture of america so he can sell his consulting sessions You are just freaking out because America has passed its peak and you are not used to having problems Grow some fecking balls
And also made it affordable to everyone. By the way, "corporate greed" exists everywhere, but I have only ever heard serious complaints about American air travel, nowhere else. Irish Ryanair catches flack, but it's basically just memes.
One reason many don't talk about is that the smartest and most skilled from America are leaving because they know where they'll get more value from their money, and as the years go by, the average streets of America will start to look like a dump. The elites are either in the gated communities of America or sipping on an iced drink in some beautiful place abroad
The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?
I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.
A financial advisor could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

USA is a declining superpower... Imagine if another currency emerge that can challenge the US Dollar not talking replacing it as World Reserve Currency but significantly reduce its usage around the world. With almost 40 trillion dollar debt if the USD value go down, the economy would collapse inflation might be as bad as Zimbabwe currency
Lol that's already happening. Did you not hear the statement Putin just made on this very subject? Prior to our recent sanctions, 70% of Russian transactions were in USD. After the sanctions, 20% were in USD. I'm not going to call anyone a coward, but to assist in the fall of a nation, and to think that you will succeed somewhere else when your bad choices have failed you, is NOT a recipe for success. We need to STAND UP.
There is a currency that challenges the inflation ridden, evil, military backed, printed by a private entity and soon to be gone almighty dollar. That's Bitcoin. Yay!

All western countries are suffering. Canada got hit the most and has the worst situation right now. I had to move my business to a red state and saved a lot on taxes But I am open to move again in future.
I live in Massachusetts and less than a year ago it was estimated that for an individual to live comfortably you would need to make around 61K a year. Then, this Spring it then was announced that for a single person to live comfortably here you need to make at least 116K a year and that is the highest number in the country! So, I feel like this makes people feel like the state of things are rather hopeless all of a sudden. Housing prices for rentals and homes have skyrocketed. Corporate greed seems to be much of the cause imo but I don’t see what the solution is? Clearly, people’s incomes don’t double or more during this historic craziness.
Well said, And the problem is not wages. The air lines pay good. 27,000 is a fortune. The problem is greedy landlords that are raising rent into the statosphere. We need to protest this by putting 3 people into a 1 bedroom etc, until they lower it back to 1999 levels

How about taxing the large corporations back to the level we used to tax them and raising the taxes on the ultra rich. Both these entities made their fortunes off the backs of working people here and both these entities do not pay their fair share.
"Greed is good"? Corporate greed (which tends to force short term thinking), has been normalized in the U.S. One of the drawbacks of capitalism is that given enough time, corporations will learn how to game the system quite successfully. The average person does not have the resources or time to become an expert in everything. So the average person pays 6% of the sale price of their house because of realtor monopolies, losing thousands of dollars. Multiply this by almost every area of life from medicine, police, jails, groceries, new cars, home contractors, etc. Government chases the tail of greed trying to instill some balance and becomes over protective. Libertarians think little regulation is best as they fail to see or ignore the sharks circling around them.
I want out. Not because of the higher prices, which are a big problem for sure. I want out because of the insanity that is going on in this country. It is unfixable. Half the country want to have an Authoritarian rule from an insane douche bag, and the other half are complacent in accepting that lobbyists, corporations, and politicians of all parties are just what we have to accept. Costs are up because corporate shareholders want maximum profits. They get maximum profits by increasing profits and reducing expenses. Expenses are employees, their benefit & quality of product/service. They maximize profits by eliminating jobs, cutting corners, and raising prices without justification. The problem is that going to another country is not easy due to residency qualifications etc. If you are not rich or young, they don't want you, even if you are of working age. I am hoping to leave when I retire in 10 years but in the interim, it is almost impossible to find a place to go to. It's a huge risk to sell everything and move in hopes that I can sustain myself until I can collect unemployment and use my 401k without double taxation.
In 2023, the profit-sharing bonus for American Airlines flight attendants was 1.1% of their eligible annual pay. Compared to Singapore Airlines, which awarded its employees, including flight attendants, a bonus equivalent to nearly EIGHT months of salary. Is that not an example of corporate greed from American Airlines? American Airlines made a net income in 2023 of $900M... and its workers were given only 1.1% bonus for record corporate profits?
No such thing as corporate greed. They can't force you to work for them. If what you say is true, every AA employee can go work for SA and get that same bonus. AA then goes bankrupt. So much for the "greed".
@@phirephate Ok. How about the companies here are way more greedy than a lot of overseas companies? Greed is still greed whether or not the workers have the balls to go elsewhere.
We made our gen x boss 25k profit in 1 week alone working construction, he did not give any bonuses or overtime, just overloaded the plate that week. I asked for a raise and was fired. Welcome to real America
@@phirephate I’m not against capitalism, bonuses or C-suite salaries, but it’s clear that unnecessary greed is at play here. Singapore Airlines made a record profit of about $1.62B in 2023 and gave employees bonuses worth nearly eight months of salary. In contrast, American Airlines made $900M and gave only a 1.1% bonus. It’s not about bankrupting companies, but about fair profit-sharing. Employees should be rewarded more fairly when companies do well... Also, ironically, AA is feeding the unions ammunition by doing this so its not even smart from a business strategy point of view.
There are unequivocal downsides of living the US but it is not crumbling apart like Andrew disparaged. I live in Fort Worth Texas and still make a sumptuous living regardless of lingering inflation. The notion that the US isn't hiring anymore is egregious at least in my city.
the middle class is being decimated by leaps and bounds! many of us can't leave, especially with our families. it is no longer financially feasible. our country is run by a mad man bent on destroying it, and he is. he's making it impossible to leave with anything other than the shirt on your back! we are being taxed to death. only the independently wealthy can leave to whatever other places in the world that are stable.

How about you make a video for "normal" people who don't have wealth and don't own businesses? As someone in that position, I find living in States better than in my own country in Europe and where I also have an abusive family which is whyI am not returning and avoid even visiting. If you have no considerable family ties anywhere and you are by yourself in one way or other, I can't see a point of being by myself in Mexico or Malaysia, or Dubai. In those places, on top of a completely new country, it's also a completely different culture. If I don't have family ties, the next best thing for feeling somewhere at home is to have cultural/ heritage roots somewhere. Nobody talks about it. I've been to 50+ countries and also the ones you mention but that last thing I can envision is to compete with natives for jobs in those countries. It's not like I can start a big business producing thousands a month from zero/ survival state.
That is a great offer. I would absolutely love to work for you. I am a US government employee and it is an ethical dilemma working everyday but the paycheck and benefits are good as I am at the top of the Gvot pay scale at management level. I am also an attorney though that is not my job for the govt. I have been watching you for years and bought your book for several friends. You inspired me to get my Mexico residency.
I'm doing a paralegal course right now. I feel like the only jobs that don't pay grocery store wages in law are at the government, as far as paralegalism is concerned. Small firms: senior paralegal (think 15yrs experience prolly), $25 an hr. Benefits provided: healthcare. Not even PTO. Level 3 paralegal with the government 75-100k/yr. Baby attorneys start at 50k at some places, too. Speaking of government employee wages in my state: where I live, I am part of a martial arts dojo. I pay a fair $150 a month to train with various black belts, it's one fee for as many classes you can/ want to attend and you can go shooting all their guns with certified trainer and free ammo. Who mostly goes to this dojo? Government employees. Because people who work in private sector get paid so low, they can't afford an extra of $150. For me it's a struggle to afford it and I keep on to learn what I can from the masters and with the training partners I can train with - before I will eventually move. HA!
As we may hear, you may make a lot but no get rich. Habits away from consumption beyond means mist be strict and indefinite. But inflation, usury, taxes, and contracts tied to these are too insidious, arbitrary and capricious. Insurance can suddenly leap or leave you behind too. Penalties amd control frauds strike out. Pays to have a good decent lawyer, accountant, general contractors, medicos, mechanics, etc, but people aren't necessarily raised to cultivate these relationships or think they get what they pay for... when making "good money", no kids, two incomes... Good people leaves unpleasant work situations in all the above. Many walking archives and decades of talent sidelined or in line at store or passing by during a walk and NO ieas who they are. Many would rather just be left alone. They're done serving the public, the state and their professional realm...with very specific exceptions that are not so easy to put your finger on. Much of the shortage of "workers" is refusal to participate anymore. The public is paying for their neglect of these skilled essential people. They are not pull and replace, not apps to upgrade, not human resources, but human beings.
I run flatbed over the road. I've been out with no time off and no home time this stretch for a year and a week. Im single, no kids.

In a lot of locations we are already there.

Andrew, your 'out of the box' thinking is on full display! This is a very creative idea, and I'm certain you will change some lives for the better. If I were a flight attendant I would take you up on this offer in a heartbeat! Bravo!
If this comes to fruition, and the new hire is comfortable doing a quick video, hearing their success story would be inspiring. Just a thought. Cheers.
No, he wouldn't. AA has 130k employees, so if he worked pro bono and gave away his entire salary, it'd equate to a whopping $77 per employee per year. I know math is hard for you anti-capitalist folks, but do try a bit harder.
One thing CEO pay is not cash. Neither are these type of persons humane, and 10 million to not much really barely middleclass, to give takes a heart which if you have one getting hired is not likely.
According to American Airlines demographics in 2020 there were 27,589 flight attendants. If you wanted to give each one even a 5K annual bonus that would be nearly 138 million dollars.

Here is how I understand it: In a capitalist system you have markets that have prices reacting to supply and demand. These days, we do not have truly open markets because there is collusion on a grand scale aided by technology. It may not be legal to insider trade and price fix, but what if all the computers just happen to make the same decisions? See where this can go?

I need $100,000 right now in order to live comfortably in the state I reside in. I’m in the USA. I need 1/2 of that or less if I moved back to my native country! I’m employed and haven’t been able to afford healthcare nor dental in over 8 years. I lost my job last year the company I was with went out of business after 3 years. This cast me into immediate poverty and I could no longer afford to insure my car nor maintain it. The only reason I’m not “living” in my car is thankfully I don’t live alone. The current America is the new Titanic and get out while you can!
Most people like you who complain are just lazy...don't make enough money? Then learn new skills, network with new people and look for a new job or career.
I remember as a child when the steel mills left the country for Japan. I remember hearing my father say “ how can you compete against countries that pay their population a fraction of our wages and can sell their products back to us for less the price we could make it for…”. It finally has caught up to us and now the rest of the world has moved ahead. All they had to do was educate their workforce which means they would inevitably innovate for themselves at some point. The American people knew how this would turn out long ago but the globalists must have never seen it coming or did they and just didn’t care.
can you name an American steel company that closed a factory and built one in Japan? I can save you some time - there isn't one. what happened is American steel workers kept brow beating their employers for "more money more money more money!!!" when they didn't get it, they went on strike. when they went on strike, companies that bought their steel immediately looked for other sources of steel so their production wasn't stopped. this permanently crippled the steel industry in the USA and it never recovered.
@@connor_flanigan I’m certainly not a fan of the unions. My father was in management at the steel mill he worked at. The mills in Pennsylvania are pretty much gone now and the state has transformed itself into more of an IT hub. Now we’re hearing that AI is going to start replacing IT jobs over time. They’re telling the IT people to take the trades route, they need to fill the positions the baby boomers are vacating. The wages in the trades are great now but once they get an oversupply of labor the wages will begin to fall. I think this is what’s causing a lot of the chaos with the younger generations complaining about work. Why spend all that money on a college education or trades school if the jobs aren’t going to be there or not pay well enough to live. There are no guarantees in life but this is starting to get out of control, here in the US and also the rest of the world.
I have watched foreign news for a few years. My physical body is in the US, and my soul is elsewhere. I don't celebrate American holidays, etc. All you shared on homelessness, the cost of living, and the lack of white-collar jobs is accurate. I have looked into the $2350 citizenship renouncement for a few years. There is nothing that I like here in the US that makes me feel at home. My family loves the US, and I no longer share why I think like I do. I am leaving my career of twelve years by November, my daughter is moving away with her fiancé to Massachusetts, and I am selling my home for $650,000. In short, I will break all my ties here by December 2024. My former employer discharged me under contract; the arbitration date has just passed, and the company lost. They owe me $300,000 in lost wages for two years, and I no longer have that issue to settle. My current residence is in Las Vegas. 🦅👍🏻
Keep your home base, of Las Vegas. This is for no state taxes. Get a private mailbox, for mail delivery. Keep a residential address for USA banking and the Nevada drivers license. Don’t advise any government agencies or financial institutions of your moving. Some don’t care. But many will close your accounts. For Social Security deposits go to your USA banks. If not you must file an annual report to the SSA. (proof of living) Don’t go with regular Medicare at age 65. Pay for a supplement, starting at $165.00 per month. I like Humana, as they pay for emergency care abroad. They do not require your presence in the USA, for example, 6 months in a calendar year. Some will not give international coverage, if your gone for certain lengths of time. Good Luck, and congratulations!
I’m with you! Physical here and currently stuck as wages too low to get me out. I do have a plan but absolutely no help to get there, so it’s going to take time. I will need to leave the US before retiring because I will never be able to stop working here at this rate. Part of the issue is many Americans are too poor to leave anywhere these days. I’m with someone that will leave the country and leave me behind to fend for myself, yet refuses to help me so that I’m able to help myself! Life here is is gutturally sad. I currently also have obligations that won’t allow me to leave yet but I HAVE TO GET OUT!
Your take on it has some merit, but the rampant greed by the management/ceo class and huge increases in their money vs the average workers is a very large component shoudn't be unacknowleged.

My son and fiancé are in Colombia and I just moved in with them. Have a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom in a nice high rise apartment complex of middle class Colombians that’s under $400 a month! Everything is a 1/4 of what it costs in the US! Gas is more but I prefer to pay for ride share rather than drive as traffic is crazy in Cartagena. Once you get used to the humidity life is much better than the hustle and bustle of the US in a rat race to nowhere. I have no intentions of moving back full time to the US. I fly back once a month to work for a couple of weeks and fly back and am trying to get work online so I don’t have to go to the US to work at all. It took me so long to make $100K and with the cost of living and inflation that is hardly even a middle class salary anymore. The US system needs a complete tear down and rebuild to ever recover. It’s a downward spiral. If you can get out I suggest getting out. US is trending downward. Very downward!!
Middle aged Canadian with assets, a house, a good day job with pension and a solid auxiliary job part time after hours. I’m sick of it here. Busting ass no longer yields a quality standard of life.
Get Out! Vacation to start if you’re not experienced, as a traveler. To start, try Phuket Thailand or Malacca Malaysia. I stay in The Philippines much of the year. There is no visa for most people to visit. You get a 30 day stamp on arrival. You can extend, with the visa waiver program, for three years. Before the 3 year time period ends, you exit the country for a day. Upon your return, you reset for another 3 years. There are other visa options, like a retirement visa. Good luck in your travels!
Get out of Canada. You're only a slave to a woke government headed by a man so stupid he doesn't know Russia was a ww2 allie. Don't even have mentioned the monopolistic pricing for the business elites or the shifty weather. Place is only fit for third worlders who see minimum wage jobs as an upgrade to their lives.
BTW, up until recently I used to live in one of those third-world countries. Had some real estate there to rent out - nothing fancy, but decent. Some of my favorite tenants were companies that would rent my properties for their low-paid employees sent on business trips or career training into my city. Manufacturing companies, fast food chains, - never dealt with railways or airline companies personally, but to my understanding, they were doing the same thing for their employees. The country wasn't particularly good, the work culture over there was *#@t, the employees were mostly overworked, underpaid and disrespected. Still, none of them were bums forced to sleep in cars.
I can confirm the US is worse. Every day on my way to work, I see a small family sleeping in their car in center city Philadelphia. I wish I didn’t have to see this, it’s really sad. I’m planning to get out to another country. Been watching your videos for a few months and love the insight and perspective!
I think about finding a better situation than the one I have in Canada every day. My therapist told me to stop watching CZcams videos like this one, but I can't.
To be fair, flight attendants don't work a full 40 hour week. It's fairly easy to get a second job. I worked as a flight attendant and I knew I wouldn't be able to live off just that income when I took the job.
Journeyman tv did an excellent documentary about an Australian man who was jailed in Dubai after the 2008 crisis. He worked for a company that became insolvent and in Dubai there is NO RIGHT TO BANKRUPTCY. He almost died in a Dubai prison and they even had to make the documentary when he was back on Australian soil. Yeah, inflation is bad and the woke government etc but I will never live, visit or recommend to live in a country with no rights.

To all those doubtful Americans; Kl, Saigon, Bangkok, Seoul, and other cities all across Asia are FAR BETTER than those hell-hole US cities like LA, Chicago, San Fran, NYC etc. Quality of life, quality of healthcare (far better and less costly), transportation costs, real estate, low taxes, etc are far superior to those US cities. Get over. The US is no longer the 'best' place to live. My wife can walk down the street with her phone in her back pocket and purse over her shoulder at 11pm in SIngapore or KL and not worry about getting robbed and attacked. Don't need to worry about carjackings or drive-by shootings. Hell, even Phnom Penh is better than Chicago or LA.. I've been in SEA for 25 years and will never return to the US (American here). Life is far better here.
@1:16 They must be only working part-time or some such thing as this, and many other data with similar numbers came up in a 5 second search. "Flight Attendants made a median salary of $63,760 in 2022. The best-paid 25% made $82,410 that year, while the lowest-paid 25% made $47,760." "The estimated total pay for a Flight Attendant is $118,506 per year in the United States area, with an average salary of $106,528 per year. T" (of course that includes the total benefit package) "average Flight Attendant salary in the United States is $86,370 as of June 27, 2024, but the range typically falls between $73,474 and $102,652." Where did those numbers come from that are in yoru video? The lowest base pay, part-time without any bumps? Oh, wait I know why that you have such a low number, "....their union said" The union was cherry picking data and almost certainly using part-timer pay, or lowest entry level base without any bumps, or some other such BS.

I am an American Israeli (And citizen of Puerto Rico). I have worked extensively in the airline industry, with customs, immigrations, high revenue clients and I am in the process of getting my third passport. I speak four languages fluently. I'm the guy that you want. Where do I need to apply?
Just because you hold American passport or living in US won't make you American. American thinking makes you American. Huge difference there.

Ignorance of knowledge😢 and running away won't help you either. Well you will know what I mean later💯
The American dream was real 70 years ago. I live in Mexico City; and the constant influx of foreigners (either expats and migrants) is to be noticed; but the amount of americans in certain areas really puts in display how americans leave the US if they have the chance.
@@SaltyShaman It's actually stated in US immigration law that people entering illegally from the north do not qualify in the same way as people who enter illegally from the southern border. Also, I would rather go somewhere and stay legally. Until then, I am stuck in this communist country ruled by the Liberals and ruined by extremists and domestic terrorists.
I offered to help the homeless, they won’t let me. It’s an entire industry. The homeless industrial complex. Homelessness increases they ask the feds for more money. People are getting rich off the homeless. I WANT OUT
The conversation surrounding inflation and the American dream now being an illusion is not a binary one that can be reduced either to corporate greed or government malfeasance. It is an incestuous relationship of both corporate and government malfeasance and the antagonistic relationship between labor and ownership.
Hi Andrew. Been following your channel for forever. It has been largely your program and advice that I took on myself to 'go where I am treated best', which for me turns out to be Brazil. At this moment I sit in a brand new (actually not even totally finished yet) apartment in an upscale suburb of Rio de Janeiro. I am no flight attendant, I am a (recently) retired software engineer. I might be interested in something like your job offer. I think Brazil should be on more people's radar as one of their options for going to where they are treated best, at least treated a whole lot better. COL, climate, culture, financial infrastructure stability, security, all these aspects of day-to-day life, in most of Brazil, are far superior to those same things in the USA/Canada. Brazil stands alone as the only BRICS country that is a viable option for moving to get treated better than the USA/Canada does: Who would consider moving to Russia, or India, or China, or South Africa? I could be a point person for people considering Brazil as one of their options, simple as that. Thanks for all your input and guidance in getting me to where I am right now!
Careful. I was recently in Brazil for three weeks. On the third week, I had to evacuate after someone kicked in my home door and attacked me. Fortunately, I was armed at the time, but found I was in extreme danger so left that same night. I found Presidente Prudente very accommodating and mostly safe, but Pelotas very very dangerous. I think they were after my IT Equipment, which might have been reported by my house cleaner to the folks trying to break in.
I am Brazilian born and I have British and American passports also. Brazilian consulate is the most difficult to deal with. It is not easy to obtain Brazilian nationality if you weren't born there. Taxes are not good for the clients Andrew caters for. It is also extremely violent and even Cariocas want to leave Rio de Janeiro for the violence. It is a good place for a vacation or a 3 month stay if you take care of security ( unlike Americans you cannot defend yourself with firearms only the criminals have them - it is a very corrupt country in terms of the police also ).
the American dream today is to leave America

You need to have a net value before they let you in. So only rich people allowed.
@@spike983 Please explain the following:
1. Getting expelled for being unemployed that only applies to foreigners? or to citizens too?
2. What if somebody is temporarily unemployed but looking for a job?
No help? They expel the person after how long of being unemployed?
3. Human rights breaches exploitations seem to occur less than before, when they do occur usually happens against non-Arabs and non-whites, such as towards African blacks and Indians and dark Asians, so it's no issue if you are white or Arab, especially if you are white, they treat whites even better than they treat some Arabs.
4. UAE it's not an absolute monarchy, each Emirate has a different faction, and they have some kind of local elections for municipalities etc.
I and my wife own single home family rentals. we have $200,000 left on mortgages. We are now the possibility of maintaining $70,000 annual income by selling and investing in stocks and bonds. How does this work out?
Real estate is a solid investment but demands effort and lacks liquidity compared to stocks and bonds. Long-term market trends should guide decisions.
Sell and invest option is viable, but crucial to consult a trustworthy financialplannner for income projections aligned with your goals.
My CFA ’Monica Mary Strigle ’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
Real estate isn’t as liquid as cash or cash-equivalents, or even stocks and bonds. But I rather the latter. Just as you’re experiencing, real estate can be a lot of work.
Strengthen other assets, consider reputable money market funds or mutual funds for emergency savings. Assess mortgage rates and allocate excess funds strategically.

I left the US in 2009, moved to a small country in Asia, saved a lot more money, and reduced my stress dramatically!
Unfortunately many Americans still think they are the "freest/best" country in the world, and everything wrong with their lives is China's fault. Very scary amount of unfounded hatred, based on extreme ignorance...
US Americans say that for cognitive comfort. Most US Americans can't come to terms with the fact that the US is falling. Slowly but surely.
So to think that elsewhere is better and for the first time in history, they may actually have to leave the US for a better life, is daunting.
It's a survival mechanism. Look at some of the comments on here. People are still saying the US is the best. It's a stale old comment.
Same! 2009 I moved to Asia for 6 years. Back in the US now because job prospects there for foreigners was abysmal. At this point, though, I'm sorry I left. I'd rather be an English teacher there making a pittance that buys a good life than making much more money here yet still can't afford to live comfortably.

You know a country doesn’t care about seniors when their retirement benefits (Social Security) is subject to taxation. Even in retirement you are nothing more than a revenue resource for a profligate government. That’s why more Americans are moving abroad to retire The will live longer and experience less stress. America is indirectly ending life prematurely for its residents
Their benefits get cut off when they want to work!! It’s awful!
Are your retirement contributions tax deductible? If yes, you will be required to pay tax on receiving the benefits.
@@leinster22 hopefully people are aware that if you leave in retirement your money is going to be taxed, the government here will not allow you to leave without taking a cut! Yes, it’s going to get a piece of you one way or another because that’s what America does. Of course they’re ending lives sooner here and yes on purpose. See basics of the job system here as it’s set up to end many careers prior to retirement, being let go when you hit a certain age, being forced to leave earlier due to health concerns in Blue Collar jobs and it happens to many! My dad retired early and had to leave the USA due to poor health, he couldn’t physically continue to work and his social security would have put him in the projects or worse. Poverty is not something that seniors should have to contend with as they age here but many do as the cost of living is out to get you now. Few jobs are actually safe from age discrimination in the USA! If you’re older you’d better pick up new skills, start your own side business while still employed or make sure the industry you’re in doesn’t depend on age to get the job done. God forbid you look, sound, or act older as you age that can be an early nail on the coffin in this country and the end of being able to afford to actually live. Also, living here is expensive but existing here not necessarily as long as you’re aware that certain necessities are going to be out of reach. These necessities are basic human rights in many developed countries but apparently not here!

I am in Russia now, and USD is about 3-4 times more valuable here than in the US. If I could have my American salary here, I would live like a king. Even $31k/year would be high income in Russia and probably in other 50% of the countries.
Sadly 31K isn't even enough to survive in most places of America. That would be considered a starting young adult salary. More and more adult Americans now living with their parents (or parents living with them) to save money when we were used to separate living situations in prior generations. If you aren't living with parents you are living with roommates or a girlfriend or boyfriend on a salary like that, it almost doesn't matter where in the US you live now. Yes inner cities are more expensive but the outer lying rural areas are now climbing in cost as well. A thousand things could trigger this to get worse. We all know it's not sustainable but were like frogs in a boiling pot. I wish our two countries could find a way to make peace.

I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.
A financial advisor could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

Well said, And the problem is not wages. The air lines pay good. 27,000 is a fortune. The problem is greedy landlords that are raising rent into the statosphere. We need to protest this by putting 3 people into a 1 bedroom etc, until they lower it back to 1999 levels

It sure as hell wasn't capitalism that killed Canada . It might be what ressurects it though ....
Canada never had a good country. The roots of Canada were always in to self-destruction. What you see now is experience of what it is like to live with the dead. For Canada, and the US, the zombie apocalypse has arrived, where aa before, the roots of the dead were just growing and ambition was enjoyed for a while. But the countries were always planted in deceptive soil.

Non-traveling healthcare workers are living in their cars in the United States. Housing is outrageous!!!
There is a traveling nurse living in her van in front of my cottage in Seattle.
We share the kitchen/bathroom, she chips in for utilities. She’s trying to pay off her degree then she will look at where to go- maybe another country.
The cheapest place to stay around here is $1000 plus utilities- in a bad area.
Moved from UK to AU and then US. Leaving US far better life in SE Asia 😀
To be fair, Dubai is pretty awful when it comes to slavery and the living conditions of those poor people.
Exactly, I was a bit surprised by that example
I know that you are thinking of others but you cant help everybody
Not the place to be if you are poor but still better than what they're getting in their home countries. That's why they are there.
not dubai fault. they chose to be there. and the living condition and salary are a lot better in dubai than their own country, thats why they dont complain. but really, the condition of the lower tier workers there are a lot better than usa. theres even luxury free food in dubai for the unemploy/poor
To be fair, I was there for 2 months and I saw different...and I didnt have to be afraid of being falsely accused by some bitter mysandrist feminist
Corporations using the government they run as their scapegoat, they need to be held accountable
If You Elected Idiot Then You Should Be Responsible Don't Always Blame Corporate...

"Greed is good"? Corporate greed (which tends to force short term thinking), has been normalized in the U.S. One of the drawbacks of capitalism is that given enough time, corporations will learn how to game the system quite successfully. The average person does not have the resources or time to become an expert in everything. So the average person pays 6% of the sale price of their house because of realtor monopolies, losing thousands of dollars. Multiply this by almost every area of life from medicine, police, jails, groceries, new cars, home contractors, etc. Government chases the tail of greed trying to instill some balance and becomes over protective. Libertarians think little regulation is best as they fail to see or ignore the sharks circling around them.
I want out. Not because of the higher prices, which are a big problem for sure. I want out because of the insanity that is going on in this country. It is unfixable. Half the country want to have an Authoritarian rule from an insane douche bag, and the other half are complacent in accepting that lobbyists, corporations, and politicians of all parties are just what we have to accept. Costs are up because corporate shareholders want maximum profits. They get maximum profits by increasing profits and reducing expenses. Expenses are employees, their benefit & quality of product/service. They maximize profits by eliminating jobs, cutting corners, and raising prices without justification. The problem is that going to another country is not easy due to residency qualifications etc. If you are not rich or young, they don't want you, even if you are of working age. I am hoping to leave when I retire in 10 years but in the interim, it is almost impossible to find a place to go to. It's a huge risk to sell everything and move in hopes that I can sustain myself until I can collect unemployment and use my 401k without double taxation.
The entire world is I. Trouble if you follow biblical teachings. You can’t run from insanity.

In 2023, the profit-sharing bonus for American Airlines flight attendants was 1.1% of their eligible annual pay. Compared to Singapore Airlines, which awarded its employees, including flight attendants, a bonus equivalent to nearly EIGHT months of salary. Is that not an example of corporate greed from American Airlines?
American Airlines made a net income in 2023 of $900M... and its workers were given only 1.1% bonus for record corporate profits?
No such thing as corporate greed. They can't force you to work for them. If what you say is true, every AA employee can go work for SA and get that same bonus. AA then goes bankrupt. So much for the "greed".
@@phirephate Ok. How about the companies here are way more greedy than a lot of overseas companies? Greed is still greed whether or not the workers have the balls to go elsewhere.
We made our gen x boss 25k profit in 1 week alone working construction, he did not give any bonuses or overtime, just overloaded the plate that week. I asked for a raise and was fired. Welcome to real America
Disgusting
@@phirephate I’m not against capitalism, bonuses or C-suite salaries, but it’s clear that unnecessary greed is at play here. Singapore Airlines made a record profit of about $1.62B in 2023 and gave employees bonuses worth nearly eight months of salary. In contrast, American Airlines made $900M and gave only a 1.1% bonus. It’s not about bankrupting companies, but about fair profit-sharing. Employees should be rewarded more fairly when companies do well... Also, ironically, AA is feeding the unions ammunition by doing this so its not even smart from a business strategy point of view.
Agreed, America went to shit under Obama & Biden.
true, but let's be honest, the Bushs sucked too
There are unequivocal downsides of living the US but it is not crumbling apart like Andrew disparaged. I live in Fort Worth Texas and still make a sumptuous living regardless of lingering inflation. The notion that the US isn't hiring anymore is egregious at least in my city.

the middle class is being decimated by leaps and bounds! many of us can't leave, especially with our families. it is no longer financially feasible. our country is run by a mad man bent on destroying it, and he is. he's making it impossible to leave with anything other than the shirt on your back! we are being taxed to death. only the independently wealthy can leave to whatever other places in the world that are stable.
@@aarrynz9721Not everyone wants to move from their homeland and willing to do with less to remain. Family, friends, pets and possibly a family property owned for multi generations. Roots are important.
Might be family situation or health. I need rescuing too.
How about you make a video for "normal" people who don't have wealth and don't own businesses? As someone in that position, I find living in States better than in my own country in Europe and where I also have an abusive family which is whyI am not returning and avoid even visiting. If you have no considerable family ties anywhere and you are by yourself in one way or other, I can't see a point of being by myself in Mexico or Malaysia, or Dubai. In those places, on top of a completely new country, it's also a completely different culture. If I don't have family ties, the next best thing for feeling somewhere at home is to have cultural/ heritage roots somewhere. Nobody talks about it. I've been to 50+ countries and also the ones you mention but that last thing I can envision is to compete with natives for jobs in those countries. It's not like I can start a big business producing thousands a month from zero/ survival state.
What a deal! The perks are great, but the real value is in the association with Andrew. Surrounding yourself with great minds is the key
That is a great offer. I would absolutely love to work for you. I am a US government employee and it is an ethical dilemma working everyday but the paycheck and benefits are good as I am at the top of the Gvot pay scale at management level.

I'm doing a paralegal course right now. I feel like the only jobs that don't pay grocery store wages in law are at the government, as far as paralegalism is concerned. Small firms: senior paralegal (think 15yrs experience prolly), $25 an hr. Benefits provided: healthcare. Not even PTO. Level 3 paralegal with the government 75-100k/yr. Baby attorneys start at 50k at some places, too. Speaking of government employee wages in my state: where I live, I am part of a martial arts dojo. I pay a fair $150 a month to train with various black belts, it's one fee for as many classes you can/ want to attend and you can go shooting all their guns with certified trainer and free ammo. Who mostly goes to this dojo? Government employees. Because people who work in private sector get paid so low, they can't afford an extra of $150. For me it's a struggle to afford it and I keep on to learn what I can from the masters and with the training partners I can train with - before I will eventually move. HA!
i quit my job years ago. i found that the raises will absolutely NEVER be good enough. just another slap in the face.
As we may hear, you may make a lot but no get rich. Habits away from consumption beyond means mist be strict and indefinite.
But inflation, usury, taxes, and contracts tied to these are too insidious, arbitrary and capricious.
Insurance can suddenly leap or leave you behind too.
Penalties amd control frauds strike out.
Pays to have a good decent lawyer, accountant, general contractors, medicos, mechanics, etc, but people aren't necessarily raised to cultivate these relationships or think they get what they pay for... when making "good money", no kids, two incomes...
Good people leaves unpleasant work situations in all the above.
Many walking archives and decades of talent sidelined or in line at store or passing by during a walk and NO ieas who they are. Many would rather just be left alone. They're done serving the public, the state and their professional realm...with very specific exceptions that are not so easy to put your finger on.
Much of the shortage of "workers" is refusal to participate anymore.
The public is paying for their neglect of these skilled essential people.
They are not pull and replace, not apps to upgrade, not human resources, but human beings.

Andrew, your 'out of the box' thinking is on full display! This is a very creative idea, and I'm certain you will change some lives for the better. If I were a flight attendant I would take you up on this offer in a heartbeat! Bravo!
Thank you for the kind comment!
If this comes to fruition, and the new hire is comfortable doing a quick video, hearing their success story would be inspiring. Just a thought. Cheers.
Why can’t the airline CEO use his $10 million to give out bonuses to the flight attendants? He would still be a multimillionaire if he did that.
Because they don't care about "the company" any more than the other employees do.
No, he wouldn't. AA has 130k employees, so if he worked pro bono and gave away his entire salary, it'd equate to a whopping $77 per employee per year.
I know math is hard for you anti-capitalist folks, but do try a bit harder.
One thing CEO pay is not cash. Neither are these type of persons humane, and 10 million to not much really barely middleclass, to give takes a heart which if you have one getting hired is not likely.
According to American Airlines demographics in 2020 there were 27,589 flight attendants. If you wanted to give each one even a 5K annual bonus that would be nearly 138 million dollars.

Can’t really blame capitalism when what we have is not capitalism.
We have socialism for the rich. If they fail poorer Americans bail them out with government assistance. Biden says we have democracy, it is true we definitely do not have a democracy.
It’s the end result of capitalism.
Please explain how we do not live in a capitalist society.
Here is how I understand it: In a capitalist system you have markets that have prices reacting to supply and demand. These days, we do not have truly open markets because there is collusion on a grand scale aided by technology. It may not be legal to insider trade and price fix, but what if all the computers just happen to make the same decisions? See where this can go?

Thats BS from the Union. Thats for first year or two. New FAs often join together and rent a "crash pad" close to their airport base. Experienced FAs are making $65,000 - $75,000/year.
Thank you for finally speaking the truth. Who in the Hell would do that job dealing with aggressive nut jobs and morons for 24,000 dollars? Nobody would. 🙃😘👋🤣
How long does it take to get to that salary?
I need $100,000 right now in order to live comfortably in the state I reside in. I’m in the USA. I need 1/2 of that or less if I moved back to my native country! I’m employed and haven’t been able to afford healthcare nor dental in over 8 years. I lost my job last year the company I was with went out of business after 3 years. This cast me into immediate poverty and I could no longer afford to insure my car nor maintain it. The only reason I’m not “living” in my car is thankfully I don’t live alone. The current America is the new Titanic and get out while you can!
Most people like you who complain are just lazy...don't make enough money? Then learn new skills, network with new people and look for a new job or career.
I remember as a child when the steel mills left the country for Japan. I remember hearing my father say “ how can you compete against countries that pay their population a fraction of our wages and can sell their products back to us for less the price we could make it for…”.
It finally has caught up to us and now the rest of the world has moved ahead. All they had to do was educate their workforce which means they would inevitably innovate for themselves at some point. The American people knew how this would turn out long ago but the globalists must have never seen it coming or did they and just didn’t care.
can you name an American steel company that closed a factory and built one in Japan? I can save you some time - there isn't one. what happened is American steel workers kept brow beating their employers for "more money more money more money!!!" when they didn't get it, they went on strike. when they went on strike, companies that bought their steel immediately looked for other sources of steel so their production wasn't stopped. this permanently crippled the steel industry in the USA and it never recovered.
@@connor_flanigan I’m certainly not a fan of the unions. My father was in management at the steel mill he worked at. The mills in Pennsylvania are pretty much gone now and the state has transformed itself into more of an IT hub.
Now we’re hearing that AI is going to start replacing IT jobs over time. They’re telling the IT people to take the trades route, they need to fill the positions the baby boomers are vacating.
The wages in the trades are great now but once they get an oversupply of labor the wages will begin to fall.
I think this is what’s causing a lot of the chaos with the younger generations complaining about work. Why spend all that money on a college education or trades school if the jobs aren’t going to be there or not pay well enough to live. There are no guarantees in life but this is starting to get out of control, here in the US and also the rest of the world.
I have watched foreign news for a few years. My physical body is in the US, and my soul is elsewhere. I don't celebrate American holidays, etc. All you shared on homelessness, the cost of living, and the lack of white-collar jobs is accurate. I have looked into the $2350 citizenship renouncement for a few years. There is nothing that I like here in the US that makes me feel at home. My family loves the US, and I no longer share why I think like I do. I am leaving my career of twelve years by November, my daughter is moving away with her fiancé to Massachusetts, and I am selling my home for $650,000. In short, I will break all my ties here by December 2024. My former employer discharged me under contract; the arbitration date has just passed, and the company lost. They owe me $300,000 in lost wages for two years, and I no longer have that issue to settle. My current residence is in Las Vegas. 🦅👍🏻
Keep your home base, of Las Vegas. This is for no state taxes. Get a private mailbox, for mail delivery. Keep a residential address for USA banking and the Nevada drivers license. Don’t advise any government agencies or financial institutions of your moving. Some don’t care. But many will close your accounts. For Social Security deposits go to your USA banks. If not you must file an annual report to the SSA. (proof of living) Don’t go with regular Medicare at age 65. Pay for a supplement, starting at $165.00 per month. I like Humana, as they pay for emergency care abroad. They do not require your presence in the USA, for example, 6 months in a calendar year. Some will not give international coverage, if your gone for certain lengths of time.
Good Luck, and congratulations!

I will need to leave the US before retiring because I will never be able to stop working here at this rate. Part of the issue is many Americans are too poor to leave anywhere these days.

I currently also have obligations that won’t allow me to leave yet but I HAVE TO GET OUT!
Your take on it has some merit, but the rampant greed by the management/ceo class and huge increases in their money vs the average workers is a very large component shoudn't be unacknowleged.
I dint think anyone has ever said Malaysia is a hell hole! It was always a properous country from the colonial period
malaysia or malay peninsular always been prosperous before the colonial period, malacca was the central of trading point of Asia. chinese, arab, indian, benggali and others always came to our land to do trading and transit. malay language was the lingua franca during those period. during colonial period british stole most of our resources to enrich their queen, now the colonial practice gone except for some countries, we can enjoy back our own resources and develop our land, the prosperous era started back in 1980 in malaysia
the colonial period its not a prosperous period for malay peninsular. its a prosperous period for european countries back in europe.
the west need to stop their colonial mindset to adapt to the world.

My son and fiancé are in Colombia and I just moved in with them. Have a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom in a nice high rise apartment complex of middle class Colombians that’s under $400 a month! Everything is a 1/4 of what it costs in the US! Gas is more but I prefer to pay for ride share rather than drive as traffic is crazy in Cartagena. Once you get used to the humidity life is much better than the hustle and bustle of the US in a rat race to nowhere. I have no intentions of moving back full time to the US. I fly back once a month to work for a couple of weeks and fly back and am trying to get work online so I don’t have to go to the US to work at all. It took me so long to make $100K and with the cost of living and inflation that is hardly even a middle class salary anymore. The US system needs a complete tear down and rebuild to ever recover. It’s a downward spiral. If you can get out I suggest getting out. US is trending downward. Very downward!!
Middle aged Canadian with assets, a house, a good day job with pension and a solid auxiliary job part time after hours. I’m sick of it here. Busting ass no longer yields a quality standard of life.
Get Out! Vacation to start if you’re not experienced, as a traveler. To start, try Phuket Thailand or Malacca Malaysia. I stay in The Philippines much of the year. There is no visa for most people to visit. You get a 30 day stamp on arrival. You can extend, with the visa waiver program, for three years. Before the 3 year time period ends, you exit the country for a day. Upon your return, you reset for another 3 years. There are other visa options, like a retirement visa.
Good luck in your travels!
Get out of Canada. You're only a slave to a woke government headed by a man so stupid he doesn't know Russia was a ww2 allie. Don't even have mentioned the monopolistic pricing for the business elites or the shifty weather. Place is only fit for third worlders who see minimum wage
jobs as an upgrade to their lives.
BTW, up until recently I used to live in one of those third-world countries. Had some real estate there to rent out - nothing fancy, but decent. Some of my favorite tenants were companies that would rent my properties for their low-paid employees sent on business trips or career training into my city. Manufacturing companies, fast food chains, - never dealt with railways or airline companies personally, but to my understanding, they were doing the same thing for their employees.
The country wasn't particularly good, the work culture over there was *#@t, the employees were mostly overworked, underpaid and disrespected. Still, none of them were bums forced to sleep in cars.
I can confirm the US is worse. Every day on my way to work, I see a small family sleeping in their car in center city Philadelphia. I wish I didn’t have to see this, it’s really sad. I’m planning to get out to another country.
Been watching your videos for a few months and love the insight and perspective!
Well, they're sleeping in their car. Go to Manila and you'll see them sleeping outside the door of an abandoned building.
I think about finding a better situation than the one I have in Canada every day. My therapist told me to stop watching CZcams videos like this one, but I can't.
ya "stay ignorant" seems like a bad strategy
I agree with you. Once in a while check it out. I make sure I remind myself to stay calm , stay enjoy present moments .
Your therapist tells you to ignore reality, deny your impulse to do something courageous?
Fire your therapist. Trust your own gut.
They want you to stay there and keep paying them.
To be fair, flight attendants don't work a full 40 hour week. It's fairly easy to get a second job. I worked as a flight attendant and I knew I wouldn't be able to live off just that income when I took the job.

Our economy is struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, bad weather conditions,foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Actually, the entire world is suffering.
Amazing how Andrew can say almost the exact same words as in California's governor's quote, "where do you wanna go?", but with a diametrically different mindset.
To all those doubtful Americans; Kl, Saigon, Bangkok, Seoul, and other cities all across Asia are FAR BETTER than those hell-hole US cities like LA, Chicago, San Fran, NYC etc. Quality of life, quality of healthcare (far better and less costly), transportation costs, real estate, low taxes, etc are far superior to those US cities. Get over. The US is no longer the 'best' place to live. My wife can walk down the street with her phone in her back pocket and purse over her shoulder at 11pm in SIngapore or KL and not worry about getting robbed and attacked. Don't need to worry about carjackings or drive-by shootings. Hell, even Phnom Penh is better than Chicago or LA..

They must be only working part-time or some such thing as this, and many other data with similar numbers came up in a 5 second search.
"Flight Attendants made a median salary of $63,760 in 2022. The best-paid 25% made $82,410 that year, while the lowest-paid 25% made $47,760."
"The estimated total pay for a Flight Attendant is $118,506 per year in the United States area, with an average salary of $106,528 per year. T" (of course that includes the total benefit package)
"average Flight Attendant salary in the United States is $86,370 as of June 27, 2024, but the range typically falls between $73,474 and $102,652."
Where did those numbers come from that are in yoru video? The lowest base pay, part-time without any bumps?

You are awesome. So inspirational. I've spent several trips to Thailand and life is better over all there. People aren't in a constant state of anger. Been to Vietnam too...my eyes are open. Thank you Nomad Capitalist. I hope to need your services in the not too distant future.
Thank you! We'll be happy to serve you.
i left the USA in 1988. And enjoy life feeling sorry for many good people i met there who struggle to stay afloat.
I am surely not a flight attendant but it is a good job for sure.

I am an American Israeli (And citizen of Puerto Rico). I have worked extensively in the airline industry, with customs, immigrations, high revenue clients and I am in the process of getting my third passport. I speak four languages fluently. I'm the guy that you want. Where do I need to apply?
Just because you hold American passport or living in US won't make you American. American thinking makes you American. Huge difference there. And only consuming certain information and knowledge will get you there. Because if you had them, you will be powerful, very powerful❤😊. Certainly I don't see that in many. Ignorance of knowledge😢 and running away won't help you either. Well you will know what I mean later💯
The American dream was real 70 years ago. I live in Mexico City; and the constant influx of foreigners (either expats and migrants) is to be noticed; but the amount of americans in certain areas really puts in display how americans leave the US if they have the chance.
It could be worse. Try living in Canada.
What exactly is worse in Canada ?
Taxes!!
You got public health service 🤔 @@ArtIsDrawing
@@leeche87 Taxes, healthcare, weather, socialism, wokeness, complacency, prices, service....
It’s happening everywhere in the world prices are going up, inflation, housing, healthcare, and problems with society
If you think the US is bad. I would wipe my ass with my Canadian Passport for US Citizenship without a second thought.
Great news! Just go visit and don't come back ;) If it works for ones coming from South, why not from North?
@@SaltyShaman It's actually stated in US immigration law that people entering illegally from the north do not qualify in the same way as people who enter illegally from the southern border. Also, I would rather go somewhere and stay legally. Until then, I am stuck in this communist country ruled by the Liberals and ruined by extremists and domestic terrorists.
I offered to help the homeless, they won’t let me. It’s an entire industry. The homeless industrial complex. Homelessness increases they ask the feds for more money. People are getting rich off the homeless. I WANT OUT
😆😆
The conversation surrounding inflation and the American dream now being an illusion is not a binary one that can be reduced either to corporate greed or government malfeasance. It is an incestuous relationship of both corporate and government malfeasance and the antagonistic relationship between labor and ownership.
Hi Andrew. Been following your channel for forever. It has been largely your program and advice that I took on myself to 'go where I am treated best', which for me turns out to be Brazil. At this moment I sit in a brand new (actually not even totally finished yet) apartment in an upscale suburb of Rio de Janeiro. I am no flight attendant, I am a (recently) retired software engineer. I might be interested in something like your job offer. I think Brazil should be on more people's radar as one of their options for going to where they are treated best, at least treated a whole lot better. COL, climate, culture, financial infrastructure stability, security, all these aspects of day-to-day life, in most of Brazil, are far superior to those same things in the USA/Canada. Brazil stands alone as the only BRICS country that is a viable option for moving to get treated better than the USA/Canada does: Who would consider moving to Russia, or India, or China, or South Africa? I could be a point person for people considering Brazil as one of their options, simple as that. Thanks for all your input and guidance in getting me to where I am right now!
Thank you for the comment! Glad to hear you are enjoying Brazil!
Careful. I was recently in Brazil for three weeks. On the third week, I had to evacuate after someone kicked in my home door and attacked me. Fortunately, I was armed at the time, but found I was in extreme danger so left that same night. I found Presidente Prudente very accommodating and mostly safe, but Pelotas very very dangerous. I think they were after my IT Equipment, which might have been reported by my house cleaner to the folks trying to break in.
Start a CZcams channel and make videos about it! You could be THE guy, no one else is talking about Brazil. I’m your first subscriber!

I am Brazilian born and I have British and American passports also. Brazilian consulate is the most difficult to deal with. It is not easy to obtain Brazilian nationality if you weren't born there. Taxes are not good for the clients Andrew caters for. It is also extremely violent and even Cariocas want to leave Rio de Janeiro for the violence. It is a good place for a vacation or a 3 month stay if you take care of security ( unlike Americans you cannot defend yourself with firearms only the criminals have them - it is a very corrupt country in terms of the police also ).
Wow this is great amigo. Thank you for sharing this. ❤ Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico 🇲🇽✌🏼🥰

1000% Agree poor government and politicians, Andrew! But corporations own them now.
