Good luck.

Your arguments are valid but I want you to understand before taking that decision so you wont be frustrated afterall in the sense that what you are running away from is even staring at you in the face and there is nothing you can do about it. Oppression by the rich over the poor is the same in all climes of the society and because irrespective of where we find ourselves, people will always be people. So I will suggest you stop fighting to change the system why not try to be yourself and influence the little you can and stop worrying about the rest. By this you have peace with yourself.

Well, that is a good choice if you are settling in th Philippines. First contact or join a group of expats living in Philippines for community support. You can have a job in BPO, as most of this are American companies having their offices in Philippines serving the US and European markets. Remember, Philippines is having a War on Drugs now, be very informed about this.

Generally speaking, moving to the Philippines is a step in the direction of slavery. Why? Their government is a civil law government. This means that it is formally a government that is a dictator by government.

A far better choice would be Belize, if you like Philippines-like climate. It is common law, where the basic rule of law is the 12-person jury, like the United States or Great Britain or Canada.

Rather than moving, why not seek to spread the knowledge of the power of the 12-person jury in the United States, and help to convert America back into the common law nation that it really is?

It's really not that bad. Corruption is everywhere.

MYTH: America's best days are ahead of us.

FACT: If you're not utterly ashamed to be an American right now, its because you're not paying attention.

MYTH: Thousands of people are following through on their word to emigrate from America if Trump becomes president.

FACT: I am. I was also planning on moving if Hillary became president, because fuck this.

I bought a plane ticket for a 1 month trip to the Philippines to see if I can make it there doing freelance editing, writing and tutoring work on the internet. The cost of living here is ridiculously expensive compared to there, but I think I could live comfortably as my own boss over there. Having been to Luzon once before for a couple weeks, it won't be an overwhelmingly foreign experience for me. It's really not that different from anywhere else, just impoverished, crowded and with desperation. Still, there's far more crackheads out of their mind in my current neighborhood than there are per square mile over there, and far more guns.

After having spent a decade of my life trying to convince white-collar criminals to stop abusing the health insurance system at the expense of the poor and the sickly and being met with opposition at every level, I'm giving up trying to have a "normal," run-of-the-mill life. America is supposed to be better than other countries because of the way we treat people, but we treat our own people like shit -- especially poor people, which are _most_ people (despite America being the richest country on earth). If there were better benefits to agreeing to be part of the beehive collective, perhaps I'd be more inclined to put up with an unfulfilling career working for an un-respectable boss. But the benefits suck and I can no longer be scared into complacency.

My goal is to find an employer in the Philippines that will sponsor my work visa so I can live there with my girlfriend, who is a citizen and currently lives there. She's from an impoverished part of Pangasinan, the kind of place where $200 is life-changing money. I feel like I can make more of a positive difference over there than here, so with any luck I will have moved out of the U.S. by spring.

I'm thinking about creating some sort of fundraiser so people who wanted to move out of the U.S. but can't in reality can donate me money to help pay for my transition. Then I could post updates about my move from the fundraiser page so they could live through me vicariously.

If you like this idea, you can show your support by leaving me a donation at the address in my profile, then I'll know that maybe the general public might do the same and I should start a GoFundMe or something.. Here's my booking confirmation for my ticket to Manila. Thanks for reading this!

Like you mention, it costs a lot more in the USA.  I have to stay here and live and work.  Can you donate to me?  I need the money more than you do?

Welcome to my country named Philippines! I am hoping that soon many people -- like veterans and even young ones looking for other opportunities --  to look at the Philippines as a very viable place to live in. We offer a good climate and of course a very friendly culture that can accommodate foreigners well. Not to mention that we can understand English well. People who have the money can easily find someone here as their partners for a thriving business.

If you like to eat good, drink good and socialize, you'd love it in Serbia or any near country. Don't know what you've heard about Serbia but if you have finished some school or have some money saved, you'll love it.

One of the most attractive countries to live is Ukraine. It's all very cheap, good climate and beautiful girl. Only make money in it is problematic. If you have income in their country, and to live in Ukraine, then you will like it.

Good to know about Ukraine,the only thing i knew was the Chernobyl disaster, i knew there are beautiful girls but being former USSR i thought the crime rates are high.
Good luck with your migration.I didnt know that people do migrate to live in third world countries because it is less expensive.Is it that hard to find a good job in America ?

[darkangel11]

It's the same in the UK. I have a friend, who left the UK because of growing costs of living and moved to Australia. Not really a third world country, but he's really happy there. He used to have a business in the UK and couldn't afford anything besides a typical daily life, so if you're thinking of moving to Europe from the US, think twice.
As for the Philippines I also have a friend who lives there and he spends most of his year working abroad in Australia and Germany as a salesman. He said to me once that it's very hard to live and work in his country and people usually live in poverty or work abroad.

You should try some drug dealing there. Heard it's THE upcoming market right now!

In Australia is not very favorable climate for people accustomed to a temperate climate. Moving to a country with a different climate can adversely affect health. Before moving think 100 times, will you be able to live there.

Limiting your options because of a Girlfriend sounds like a bad move, overall.  There's billions of women in Asia.

There's plenty of bilaterial Holiday Visa agreements between USA and foreign countries, and the age cut off is 30 and sometimes age 35.  Americans can go to Australia and make $33,000 from an ordinary minimum wage job.


There's opportunities to make $1,000 to $2,500 USD a month teaching English in a number of Asian countries.  Granted in Bitcointalk's case, where half the posters are dropouts who somehow stumbled onto a help desk position in the early 2000s, most of you would probably be limited to teaching illegally in China but the underemployed university graduates should look into this option.

Australia has fairly high wages and arguably low cost of living.  You can get a roommate situation for as low as $600 AUD a month and yet make $2,880 a month.

You speak as if to go to Australia is easy. You tried to live at 40 degrees and 100% humidity? Besides, there are very many poisonous snakes, crocodiles and spiders. In the ocean, sharks and poisonous sea animals, and jellyfish.
