hi, I’ve been living abroad for 15 years or so.

if you want to move, you should move.

most countries have a very low cost of living, so you can teach math or English abroad(what I usually recommend for first time travelers who want money) and save thousands per month, in a country like Thailand, which is very welcoming to trans people and has great, affordable medical care.

if you can get any remote programming job that pays more than $500 US a month, you can live abroad and immediately start saving any income over that 500, which covers your own apartment and food for the month.

and it is awesome out here in the world, btw.

you can live and save abroad for a couple years and if for whatever reason you want to go back to the US and buy a house, you’ll have the money to do that.

I’ve helped other people move and would be happy to go into any details you’re curious about.
