Deciding you want to live on a beach in Central America or a village in Italy because the lifestyle appeals to you and you can make it work financially doesn’t mean you’re crapping on the US.
I am crapping on the US, becuase in many many ways the US has crapped on us… Not in ALL ways, don’t get it twisted.. the irony is, becuase the US is where i was born and raised and have citizenship- i may - despite my best efforts- i may be forced, yes forced to return in a few months , for reasons that are too complicated and numerous, and frankly no one’s business - to go into here.. i am trying my best to avoid that though .
