:cheers:My choice is Costa Rica too. Hopefully the California expats haven't ruined it. Poland is a good spot too.

Looking a Costa Rica myself. In the 1970-80s it was white flight from urban areas, in the 21st century it's going to be white flight out of US.

I'm thinking Chile is the answer, but Poland or much of the old Warsaw Pact would do as well (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, or Slovenia).

If the ish hits the fan we already know where we are going. I don't think it will ever come to that but it's nice to have an option to go if need be.

Yes. These countries understand oppression. They will flourish and resist globalist fascism. If I was a young man I'd be gone.

Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas looking better everyday.

They say that the problem of free advice is that it’s almost always overpriced. That’s absolutely true. However, my advice to 18-40 year-olds to learn from everyone you meet and know that almost all of them are completely full of **** in both their experiences and their opinions. Your job is to do your homework and pay attention, real attention, so that you can suss out which who are the most full of **** and avoid them at all costs.

Anyone who addresses any of these highly complex issues with, “It’s really very simple…“ is completely full of ****. None of this is simple or we would have solved it hundreds of years ago.

This country is going to sh!t. It is under higher and higher probability of collapsing. I only hope we can right this before a tipping point.

We have allowed too many "underminers and takers" into American society (they either are natives who get brainwashed by the evil MSM and/or leftist schools or they immigrated into the country with little in common with American values). I believe in immigration but you need to add value to our country (can be a doctor or even a skilled tradesman, etc...)...they should come ready to assimilate and make our country greater. I don't bcare where you come from but you need to assimilate.

The left has been rigging the process for years to gain complete power and the Democratic Party has become infected with people set to destroy American Exceptionilism. The Republicans while better have been almost as bad with complicit behavior. DC is filled with snakes. Short term thinking is prevalent in America.

If I'm in the 18-40 year age bracket...I would stop buying stupid things with your money. Get on a strict budget and save. Learn about money. Pay off your debts, ASAP. Stop being a useful idiot. Do not waste your money on luxury items and fads. However, do not put all your savings in one investment basket though. Your goal is to raise enough "FU" money so you are not beholden to an employer or society in general. I'd recommend renting if you live in an urban area. Renting, keeps yourself flexible while building your "nest egg". Keep learning. Learn about things that will save your life. Keep only a minimal prescense on social media.

If you are in college you better be in a STEM. If not, leave college. Join the military or get into a trade. All colleges do are rob you of money and reward idiotic professors who hate the country and the right.

If you can work from home most of the time do it and live in a lower cost area. Keep yourself flexible. Buy a gun and have a "bug out" bag ready. Learn survival skills. Learn how to defend yourself.

Finally, have an escape plan. So why do I say that? I'm not thinking nuclear war...but, I'm thinking the left takes over power and starts a cultural revolution. You have two choices: stay n fight or escape and reassess your options. With "FU" money you have options in most scenarios.

You need to take care of yourself and don't expect government to have the answers.

We have allowed too many underminers and takers, but it's not the groups you are saying. It's the corporate looters who have robbed this country blind with the help of both parties. Of course I don't expect the government to help, I expect them to continue to prop up crony capitalism and ensure that multinational corporations never fail and the stock market has as much liquidity as it needs.

I agree that the corporate cronyism is a huge problem. I get pissed reading how they gut factories in small towns and move them offshore to save pennies per unit after their big bonus is factored in. CEOs make too much too.

That’s my plan. The US is broken and it isn’t going to get better any time soon. If I have to live somewhere broken, I’d rather do it somewhere with a lower cost of living.

Not always

I'm a believer in the K.I.S.S. Principle for most things.

Invest in schools and infrastructure and keep creating jobs. It’s really very simple.

Yep. Leftists WANT it to be complicated so they can profit off of it. Oh hell, not just the left, politicians in general....
