Leaving the country, for a trip or whatever, isn’t too hard if you already have a passport. Moving out permanently and living in another country is much harder and more expensive. Prohibitively so, for the vast majority of Americans.

And, just for fun, if you pull it off, the US still expects you to pay taxes to both it and your new country of residence

Ah gotcha, I didn’t know that!

But not if you are an American freelancer. In which case you're fucked by both countries

How expensive do you think a passport is?

It’s been a few years since I got mine… maybe a hundred dollars? A bit more? I remember being more distressed about having to mail away my physical birth certificate than the cost

EDIT: according to the State Department website, it’s $165 for an adult for the book
