USA Is Dreadful So Moving To Paradise, Want To Know Where?
Have you ever said ๐ค “I am so fed up with the greed, politics & lack of compassion ๐คฌ๐ฟ for others here in the US?” ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
OR
Are you a parent ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ผ terrified when your child leaves for school ๐ซ what will happen? Is the after school activity coach โน๐ผ a pedophile? ๐ฎ Will the police ๐ฎ๐ป harass/shoot my child ๐ฆ๐ฝ because of the way he looks? ๐ Will the screen time ๐ฎ addiction EVER END! ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Well, that’s where I am my friendsโ๏ธ
The Background…
Just as I was starting to promote my vacation travel ๐งณ packages (services link below ๐๐ฝ) my ex-husband hit me ๐ฏ with news he’s going back overseas ๐ to work ๐ช He wants to get ahead with his finances ๐ธ
At the beginning of 2๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ he moved ๐ to the east coast from Oregon to be closer to our son ๐จโ๐ฆ Although I was upset ๐ช I respected his decision to improve the life of his kids ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Coincidentally ๐คญ I had been looking ๐ for affordable cities here in the states ๐ฝ Currently I live in Montgomery County, Maryland, just 2๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ minutes from DC ๐ฉ๐พโโ๏ธ
According to the latest five-year estimates, a total of 49 counties had median household incomes that were above $100,000. Of the 15 counties with the highest incomes, five are located in Virginia or Maryland, near the nationโs capital.

Not having any luck ๐ finding a 2๏ธโฃ bedroom ๐ UNDER $2K ANYWHERE (not even๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ in the more southern states ๐ฏ) realized if my ex can move overseas ๐ซ for a better life, WTF am I staying in the USโ๏ธ
Immediately did a Google search ๐ป of affordable ๐ฐ places in the world ๐งญ And easily found the perfect place ๐ that checked all my boxes โ
- Affordability – OBVIOUSLY ๐ท
- Small town living where neighbors care for each other ๐ซ
- A more fulfilled life for my son to play safely outside ๐ด๐ฝโโ๏ธ
- English speaking to make the transition easy ๐
- Great real estate opportunities ๐ก
- Not far from the US because my dad is in his 70s ๐บ
- Diverse cultures but rich in local history ๐ฟ
- Most importantly NOT THE US! ๐ซ
Next Steps…
Now the hard part begins ๐ฅต Editing down my cherished possessions ๐ & selling them ๐ช Also deciding what to ship ๐ฆ has been a MAJOR UNDERTAKING ๐คฏ Spent weeks ๐ dealing with an auctioneer only for him to cancel ๐ซ soon after hiring ๐บ Check out my Google review โก๏ธHEREโฌ ๏ธ
