The new American dream is to leave America
Which to me is weak. People should improve their own country instead of running away. This only makes sure nothing changes. If people are going to protest massively. Even do a revolution in case because that works very well our history tells us.
To quote a great comedian: "The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it"
And you believe that?
@@adammorra3813if they didn’t believe it then they wouldn’t have said it bro
@@juliansvidal If you believe that, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Whatever countries you move to, there are politics there. It's just that you are not taking part in them.

Us is a poop hole now a days. It’s too hyper individualistic and there is no societal obligation towards taking care of the community and looking after each other for the greater good. Greed and irrationality has triumphed in USA.
This !!!
How do your kids handle the nomadic lifestyle? Having been in the military for 12 years and moving frequently, I've seen that be very hard on my kids as they have grown attached to friends and then had to leave them behind and struggle for a time to find new ones. Thanks!
The Federal Reserve's got us all by throat right now.
This is #fact
Thanks Tiny Hat People
Naw, the last decade the Fed kept interest rates too low and now people are unable to cope with normal interest rate levels.
Been strongly considering leaving the US the past 4 years. Not because we want to, just because I'm tired of just barely getting by.
Take care with your taxes. Living overseas doesn't always exempt you from taxes. I got burned my first year abroad.
I'm not American nor do I live in America, and its insane how hard it is to explain to people here how America isn't exactly what you see on the media
HEALTHCARE alone is enough to make someone leave. Many middle class foreigners leave to get dental work in their home countries and the cost of tickets plus the dental work combined is still cheaper than getting dental in the US
Its impossible to explain to Americans, or anyone else for that matter, that the media does not portray the world in an honest light.
@@shrimpboy9587then there’s the next phase of explaining to American’s (and the world) about project Mockingbird
@@shrimpboy9587 don’t say impossible. I’m American and I’ve grown up here my whole life. It’s been terrible if I could go to Europe I honestly think I would live a happier life. This place sucks. And it’s a constant struggle.
@@elcapitan549 please tell me more
Moving out of America is the new dream... as long as you still earn in dollars.
You don't want to live in a third-world country, and be earning the local currency, living in poverty unless you are extremely successful.
Additionally, there is hope for freedom and economic prosperity at least in the state of New Hampshire. Look up the Free State Project.
It's not about the currency it is about the total sum
@@houssemmasri9861 Americans have it so good that they don't understand how currency works. I wish I had the same kind of bliss but no instead I was born in the third world and see these types flock here all the time
You can come to Kigali, Rwanda any time. Be glad to give you a tour to consider living here
You're always one sickness away from bankruptcy in America.
The "American Dream" is a marketing slogan for you to spend money. What really matters is peace of mind, time with family and laughing, things you don't need spend money to achieve, things you cannot build an economy on...
Correct 👍
Great video. Thanks. I’m Australian living in Japan. Been following you for years
In Japan you're always a white (or black) monkey to them.
One problem, everywhere else is f'd too.
Throw Canada in that hat to, especially with our current leader at the helm.
hell yeah
Canada is loads better than America 🇺🇸. Trudeau is great.
It seems like you did achieve the American dream of a home with the white picket fence.
As someone who had Kaiser Permanante, hated them and has recently traveled to Scandinavia, this video spoke to me, thank you
Duck... your pronunciation is elite, man, you're a ducking professional narrator....
Yep, I find this video SOOOOOOO RELATABLE!!!!!! I’m Filipino, and my mom watches these Americans who move out of the USA and into the Philippines and live there. They absolutely love it there more than the US, and probably work there, or maybe do remote work. But most of the western foreigner my mom watches are travel vloggers. Personally, I want to move OUT OF USA, because of rising crime rates in America and Cost of Living. I want to live in Japan instead, where life isn’t as archaic and housing is cheaper. But that’s unfortunately, AFTER I FINISH COLLEGE and FIND A HIGH INCOME JOB and ESTABLISHED CAREER. Also, Japan is closer to the Philippines, which is where my ethnic background originated, even if I was US-born. People love the Philippines so much, but I would personally only go there for frequent holiday vacations while residing in Japan, where housing is half the price of US. I just want to have a job in a higher income country than the Philippines, even if the Philippines is a beautiful country.
In Japan you're always white/yellow/brown monkey to them and are deeply not welcome to live there.
Everything he said but especially since continuing homeschooling my son since the pandemic, our lives have opened to a new way to exist. I've been clearing out our belongings to prepare for traveling abroad and when we decide where we'll choose to exist for a while.
I left 3 years ago for good. It blows my mind how so many people think “This is the greatest country in the world”
Or “This is the most free country in the world” (it’s absolutely not… not even close)
Where do you live now?
Hey I have been watching your videos for a minute and I wanted to know your advice on this topic for someone who is just starting out, I'm still in college studying comp. eng. and am already highly considering doing something similar to you travel and/or leave the us, however the major thing that would be holding me back is leaving family/extended family any advice/words of wisdom on this?
“That's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin
I relate to you and with your concerns a lot
Great salary, great prices, it comes out even with living in half of Europe and rest of world where salary and prices are minimized. I live and work in Serbia where scholarship and health care, taxes, food... are much less then in US but i make pizzas for 12000 a year. half of it goes for rent and bills so here you are to spend 500 monthly in best case on family, food clothes expendables and fun. So, as you said, PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE.
Spot on! 👍👍👍
I lived abroad few times, one thing to consider is health insurance, while you are young it is all great, but if you want to retire and live in another country make sure you can afford private health care in the country you are living in. I have seen some horror stories when I lived in Bangkok. With that being said, I am still looking to move abroad.
I’d like to know what area is better, safer, ext. if you could update us on that.
Idk man I have no desire to live outside of the US.. it has its problems like every country but sometimes (financially speaking) that’s because most Americans have to constantly keep up with the Jones’ and don’t find jobs they like and always buy the best of everything for them and their families and then go and get themselves in lots of debt; then these people have bad attitudes (which I’m sure you can find these people in any country btw). You can definitely live a very happy experience-full life with your family and friends here in America if you work hard and keep a good mindset. I’m proud to be American and love our country even though yes many flaws exist. & I say all this even though I do think the government is corrupt and the current President is a joke. There is so much opportunity here if you just expand your horizons. Good luck though. I hope you’re living it up!
Bingo! Especially when you consider that the average house in the U.S. has exploded in size in recent years. Now like 2500+ square feet is the average when it used to be like 1000 square feet. I have a modest home with a cheap mortgage payment, nice front yard and 4 bedrooms. About 1200 square feet and 3 kids running around the yard. It's perfect for us and we certainly don't need a McMansion. Americans take so much for granite and like you said, lots of Americans have $hitty attitudes and are not thankful.
Ma guy did I ever see you in San Martin Guatemala? I saw a bald guy just chilling there once when I was on an anniversary with my wife. I asked the big bald American guy was sup and he told me he was a software developer. Long story short. He turned on my lightbulb to take on this new endeavor of learning how that works and to become that guy. just surf and chill while working with my laptop is the dream. If that was you Dorian I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. If not. great content ma guy :D
Less than $200,000 in a tier two cities is middle class now. Jacksonville Florida is now just unaffordable below that.
I'd love to go somewhere else, but who's hiring Jr. Cloud Admins in a beautiful affordable country for a good salary right now?
Honestly mind blowing to think of US yearly homicide rate due to gun violence - mostly from inner city gangs, but occasionally pours out into innocent bystanders.
It is mindblowing for a developed OECD country. The US ranks near the bottom of the Gloabl Peace/ Safety Index, right below Haiti and other really dangerous 3rd world countries. First time I learned that I was kind of shocked we were near the bottom but not really anymore sadly...
My name is Matt Foley and I am a motivational speaker. Now let's get started by letting me give you a little bit of a scenario of what my life is all about. First off, I am 35 years old, I am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river.
Okay
Where did move then?
You also renouncing ur us citizenship?
Still, it’s better than in most countries
American politics is relevant to every country on Earth, so if you feel like you are far away from it, that's just because you are enjoying a temporary state of ignorance. I live in the Balkans, and I watch the politics in the US more closely than our own, as our city states can't really make any independent decisions anyway.
This is important. America is the big kid. They are the bully and power. They spend so much on military protecting tiny countries or european countries while those countries spend a fraction on their own military (percentage wise). When war comes, and it will, youll be happy youre American. People will take those small friendly countries first as a power play, then maybe come for the U.S.
If they do attack the U.S directly. It will be quick, swift, and maximum damage. They wont win a war of attrition and dont want to try.
How sad is that.
It really depends where you live. I moved from Czechia to Switzerland and except very sensitive topics like weapons to Ukraine or potential war at Taiwan it is just one big reality show to us, especially since Trump. US politics is pure meme, asbolutely bizare even for most of "newer" democracies where we still learn how to do it.
@@Miroo777 It's a reality show for sure, but of they pull out of Europe, we are going to party like it's 1940's again. We need their hegemony to keep things in order more than ever.
As a non american I can confirm, and we need to take.in consideration that the US is always intervenes on what other countries do, for example, trying to tell the Dominican Republic what to do with Haiti, with Trump that didn't happen
What country do you live in Dorian? Moving away from America seems more and more like something I should do…
I left the US and moved to Saudi Arabia, and my life has never been better. I've lived here for six years and worked as a developer. The people are cool, charming, and respectful. However, if you're into drugs or alcohol, this isn't the place for you since they are prohibited. Otherwise, everything is great here. As a developer, you can find good job opportunities because the tech industry is growing, and Western professionals are highly respected.
As an American citizen, If you are thinking about living outside the US, there are mainly three options: Europe, Asia, and Africa.
- in Europe: You'll face similar issues to those in the US, as European policies and laws closely mirror American ones.
- in Africa: Due to the impact of European colonization, many regions are impoverished, making it a challenging place to live.
- in Asia: This continent offers a variety of options. I chose Saudi Arabia.
The homie just dipped and didn't call anybody before he did!
This is going to end like 'Mosquito Coast'.
wow!!!
The life quality here in Brazil sucks hard. But yeah, free health services is a life saver, literally. America’s health system is complicated.
I am leaving in a week. May never return.
Sounds about right.
Maybe American Politics are intense in America but it is entertaining as hell watching from the outside. Greatest show on earth!
Yeah that's how I feel about the US. Unfortunately, I don't have the skill and assets to move out. Vietnam or Taiwan are the top 2 places for me to move out
You think vietnam is better than US? Lol
@@adammorra3813 Have you ever been there before? How much do you know about Vietnam? I would love to know what you know.
From what I had seen, things like 3x cheaper than in the US. Friendly people. Adjust your lifestyle and lower it a little, life is better there. At least I don't need to hear news about someone kid's shooting a mall or school.
@Vscounter ive actually been there to ho chi minh and hanoi as well as da nang. Sure its cheaper but most of the food has a repugnat smell. Hardly anyone speaks english and Vietnamese is hard to learn. Ho chi minh is really polluted. North is communist so need to be careful there. Da nang was nice but thats it.
@@adammorra3813 I am fine with the food(fine with light shrimp paste) Not interested in the North. I'll give more judgment when I visit Hanoi in January. I don't find Saigon that bad these days. Sure, people need to learn about taking care of their streets and using LESS plastic, but it has the potential to be a decent place to learn. Language could be a problem, but newer generations are better with English now. Newer restaurants have English on their menus now(still not that common). Simple phrases can get by.
@@Vscounter look i hear you but it’s not the paradise. If you go, go to da nang. A lot of tourists there and also there are some beautiful mountains and you can go up on a lift, i can’t remember the name right now. And it feels like you are in the middle of a town in Europe up on those mountains. But Vietnam for locals suck because everyone is poor and not good job opportunities. But if you work online and make USD, it’s fine for a short time. Long-term, you will see a lot of issues like racism, paying foreigner prices, and just small little annoyances and things you don’t realize until you live there.
I left 25 years ago, never looked back. Not a fan of Vietnam, but Jakarta we love, it is expensive but we enjoy it.
10 years ago for me, and absolutely agree.
Do you work remotely getting paid in USD?
How expensive is Jakarta compared to the US or Japan?
Please tell me what you do for a living as someone who lives there cant stand the pollution, traffic and noise. Let me guess you are rich?
We have international hospitals here in the US which are in your home town now. That's were all the immigrants go and get their free health care while we would be stuck with bills up the butthold.
This comment right here is just another reason why people leave the US.
You should try Turkey
$150,000 a year you could live like a king in the midwest
I’m curious if your opinion Will change once you been living ouside usa for a few years. I’m came to USA from a different country and oof I love the USA.
Thanks for sharing
Choked it the best description 👌🏻
Come to Europe
American seems like it's been in a state of decline for a few years and that rate of decline has increased since the pandemic.
The COL in the US is now unsustainably expensive for the majority of Americans unless you're wealthy, has become scarily dangerous (mass shootings, school shootings, all kinds of crime, etc...) and work life imbalance that is almost as bad as South Korea and Japan as well as healthcare being tied to your employer. Also the politics are insanely (and purposely) divisive and obsessed with things that are a non-issue in most other developed OECD countries (women's rights, LGBT, etc..) As a gay guy I wonder what the Supreme Court is going to do next and have had enough. Becoming a digital nomad to and will eventually relocate to Spain.
The COL went way up and we have nithing to show for it. When this happens we hit a depression or things start to flourish. I am guessing depression.
Idk man, don't want to hate, but its easier earning the strong dollar while having foreign cost of living vs the locals who have to do more with less. The U.S has its problems, but it gives you your dollars. Not advising people do things or feel bad about it, its just what it is. I also think its not as bad as the internet makes it seem.
Dorian, judging by the trends, I can't wait when you go to live in Russia 🇷🇺
Devil is always waiting for a contract.
Welcome to hell
America, no health insurance, quote for an MRI for my prostate - $7,800 at John Muir hospital in California.
Thailand, no health insurance, quote for an MRI for my prostate - $410 at BNH hospital in Bangkok. My doctor was Thai, on CZcams, spoke Thai, English and Mandarin. The staff and experience was WONDERFUL.
But keep thinking America is #1 folks... keep thinking that way and you will be financially ruined.
You’ll realize you take things for granted once you spend enough time living outside the US. Believe me…
As an american who grew up in Mexico, yeah the education is a lot different there and surely everywhere, I did a couple years in the U.S and I hated it, dumb f***s in a racist mostly hispanic school didn't even know I knew spanish, it wasn't worth entertaining them, it was during the MySpace era in my 8th grade and I hated every moment there. And after my dad passed away, well I'm not a mexican citizen so I moved back in the U.S and I often wanna go back there when it was culturally better.. but... Yeah idk what I'm gonna do, I rather just go where I have a partner who wants to go the same place, but I'm still single-ish lol, who i'm interested may still wanna be in the U.S but a different city, but I like the idea of going to another continent for once. Won't be anytime soon, but I do despise all the many issues mentioned too.. from education, health and.. politics.. I would lean more democrat but the hard left seems worse than any side of the right tbh.. kinda rather not vote lol.
which country he is in now?
I've been searching the comments for this very thing.
I guess it's Vietnam according to another comment.
@@romeroson123 thank you for replying
Strange i am trying to move into USA
The whole world is fd, not sure where we can escape to.
"WE DONT CARE ABOUT POLITICS" >> "Why is america so violent?!"
You cannot be indifferent to politics and our social problems and think that things will still be fine.
Believe me It's a blessing that you were born in the US. Can't you see all of those people crossing continents to come illegally, just to live in the US despite obstacles like racism and discrimination.
It's all about Capital, those who own the capital own it all. That's why Owners who arguably put in the least effort take most of the prize. Same situation with the capital being concentrated in a few countries in the world.
But, I agree with you, the best case scenario is making money in the US (Remotely included) and spending it elsewhere.
They're ignorant and heavily brainwashed by Western media PR.
Inflation is way higher in the rest of the world. Healthcare is not free anywhere.
Everywhere could be better. Weirdly enough, and from recent stuff, i finf America less and less free because of the pursuit of money. We never learned how to properly spend it and people are easily exploited, especially because the u.s is so big. The goverment has also gotten too big.
The u.s, if it stayed what it was dreamed ti be, is a small national goverment, a bigger state goverment, and your town/city woukd have the most infuence on your life and you it. Now nearly every town is "big" with thousands of people. Money is siphoned away to some other land.
I agree, we make good money, but for what? I think some places went to far, and so have a harder life.
One thing thats not mentioned is how powerful America is. We have an army, anyome who is our ally we defend with our army, so they dont need to spend as much on their own. Freeing up money for all their free whatever. This is huge, when shit hits the fan, America will have control of a good portion of the world. Power...at what cost.
Healthcare is not free anywhere that is if you'd like to be healthy
Absolutely wrong. Health insurance in my coultry costs less than $20 monthly and most things I want to have done are free or cost pennies.
Tooth fillings? $5. X-rays? $20. Dermatologist? Free. Endocrynologist? Free. Blood panels? Free. Tons of surgeries are also free
Yep. Americans know nothing about the outside world.
The price of meat in Mexico is the same as the U.S.
You should care about the basics of the politics of where you live, though. You don't want to wake up one day with the surprise news that it is now illegal to own dollars where you live, or that there is a new mountain of taxes and regulations you have to abide by.
True, but still - it's ALL about money! It's great to live in the poor/not rich country even with minimum and remote American salary!
Thats what im saying. These countries are getting gentrified, look at what's going on in México. I don't blame Americans though, everyone is trying to have a decent life.
Where did you live and where did you move to now? Why don’t you tell us that up front?
Does it matter?
This is targeted at remote workers that don't need to be in a certain location or people with a lot of money saved up, trust fund, etc.. most working class people in the US could not make this kind of transition.
Dude, I’m trying to get to the US. Living in a shit hole like Brazil where you’re afraid of even going out after 9pm is much worse than paying a lot to live safely
😂😂😂
Personally, I'll never leave, but no disrespect to people that do. I'd rather stay and fight to make things better instead of running away to some other country whose men fought to make their country better.
Dude is so dramatic lol 😂
Sorry but just wait until you get to Europe.
I need to get to Kuwait I’m getting sick of this
What problems do Vietnam have? What problems will Vietnam have if it has too many people?
Humanity should have built its first space colony back in the 1990s!
Brazil is 1000 times worst.
No its not.
@adammorra3813 have you even lived there?
Grass must be greener on the other side spotted.
The median household income in the US is $75k. You made twice that and you couldn't find a way to make it work? You are not very resourceful. And why should you expect not to have to pay for a blood panel when it isn't necessary? Why should other people work for free for you?
It's not always about money.
There's no peace in America.
That's why the rate of drug addiction and mental illnesses.
Healthcare system alone is enough to leave lol

@@Tiny_TheFellOmen really silly for americans to assume their own country is all the same when its big enough to have diversity between regions
It’s getting harder to defend this country these days. It looks like shit.
Everything you say is true, but we have a constitution that is supposed to give us irrevocable rights! A lot of countries things will be rosey until it's not, and you realize you have whatever rights the authorities say!
My only question is, can you own firearms and criticize the government where you are? Probably not. America may not be perfect, but it is the freest country in the world with the guns to enforce those rights.
You can either love it or leave it.
I keep hearing everybody talking about using their guns to do stuff but last I checked the government is raw dogging everybody and I don't think I've seen a gun nut do anything about it in the past 25 years.
