Oddbean new post about login | logout Any Canadians making plans to leave the country and settle elsewhere? If so, where is your destination of choice.
The first red state that secedes from the union.
Ha good answer.
😂
Idaho? 😂
I’m open to any of them really. English speaking, the right to own a gun and defend yourself are non-negotiables for me.
Been thinking about this a lot Len. Haven't come up with any soild answer.
Hopefully you find the answer before it finds you. It is a tough decision to make.
What's your thoughts Len? Any place stick out to you as a good option?
It is hard to say because everyone has different needs and so forth. I'll probably settle in Italy, even though 99% of people would hate that move. But for me, it will work. Maybe Florida is a default for most people as it checks off a lot of boxes.
Potentially the US. Potentially Japan. Potentially any number of places including Bali. Ideally a cheap and safe place that can be used as a jump off point for global travel. Nowhere is perfect and we may just stay close to wherever the kids and future grandkids end up but that's still a decade away likely.
It is too bad that most of Europe is hot garbage. That would be a good launching point for global travel.
We have Canadian, American, and Japanese citizenships and passports so that makes these three countries the easiest to move between. Japan is the safest socially but risks with China and NK, not to mention earthquakes. It's BTC friendly and has cheap housing with outstanding transportation. It's my leading choice.
The US if the election goes right. El Salvador if not.
El Salvador post Bukele scares me a little. I wonder if they van maintain this momentum long-term
I spent a few weeks there this summer. Asked a TON of people about this. Hes got like 5 brothers that are all deeply involved in the government. The people fucking love him. benevolent dictatorship? Maybe. In any event, im comfortable enough to buy property there. I highly recommend a visit. The place is amazing.
Yeah I would love to visit. I hear that is extremely safe and everyone is friendly.
I have been looking into expatriatism. USA has set a new record for expatriatism each year since 2013, like a 'pilgrimage' from big, oppressive, corrupt, morally and financially bankrupt government all-over-again, how "progressive." I actually have enough guaranteed income to live comfortably in most SA expat communities I've looked at online. I just wonder if there is anywhere on earth left that a person can own land without a tax id?
