Escape from America

A bus ticket from Oklahoma City to Connecticut is under $150.

Right, so then what? If you can't even afford to move to a different state, then you're definitely not going to be able to move to a new country. As bad as things are in a lot of ways in the US, we're not exactly at the point where other countries are organizing refugee flights for asylum seekers.

I've moved overseas and to get a work visa there's a fair amount of rules and there's likely to be requirements about having a plane ticket back home already, and certain bank account levels to ensure that you're able to go when you're done. On top of that, even when you do get a job, it can take a period to get paid, and working overseas may not be the most stable thing, depending upon the specifics of where you're talking about and what you're planning on doing.

And when I get there, then what? Where am I going to live? How will I afford the high rent over there?

Moving to Slab City ,Calfornia.. low cost of living, they even have there own Utube.....best be a rough type character...

i think going to any foreign country is fine as long as you can relate to the culture and dont stick out too much.

It also helps to be able to eat cheaply available food.

Lots of well off Americans move to Hawaii and discover that the familiar food they like to eat is very expensive.
They don't realize that a box of cereal is expensive in Hawaii. Locals eat stuff like SPAM.

A lot of them don't last more than two or three years before moving back to the mainland or CONUS.

Something to consider if you are picky about food.

I can't relate to the culture where I am now.
