    If you're doing it to flee the pandemic then don't there is real fear brewing about this virus and thanks to china this is being directed at westerners.

    if you're in a backwards part of the world and someone gets sick you will be blamed.

    leave this a year or 2 let things cools off

    its a fucking recession if you're not one of the plebs you should be working all hours of the day and banking hard.

    recessions always bring extreme wealth creation oppertunities.

      Not about cost of living honestly. I live in a very nice area of Vegas.

      It’s more about the direction this country is heading and where my family can live our best lives.

        Yeah that’s the plan for sure. I’ll rent houses in a few different spots for 3-6 months so I really see what it’s like

          Nahh the pandemic is everywhere. There is no escaping that. I moved most all my investments to cash today so when this market crashes more I’m safe

          The USA has been going down hill for the last few years. The clusterfuck that is currently going on here just has me weighing my options. Next 12-18 months I may be able to pick up some deals in real estate .

              Great place to visit a weekend max a week. That's it for me lol

                  Because of the loony left? or because of the media tosh about Trump?

                  The left have no chance of getting into power look what happened to bernie if was beaten by a guy who will get diagnosed with dementia in the coming year. Trump is a loudmouth and a bit brash but he's no danger to the US.

                  The world will change after this, but you and your family are safer in the US then you are in South America.

                  As someone whos lived in more third-world countries than I can count on one hand I can tell you you will miss 'that things just work' in the west.
                  I'm back in England now (pandemic and business reasons). The holiday period will wear off after a month or two in any country.

                          Nah how things "just work" in the west is the reason I left. And I know many feel the same.
                          Also you're a lot safer in many places in south America comared to many places in the US and vice versa.
                          My holiday period hasn't worn of after 10 years.

                          But it's a more difficult decision to make when you have a family and kids I guess

                            Australia and New Zealand are real options if you are financially sound - I'm sort of an Ex-Pat in New Zealand - I couldn't rate it any higher...
