The United States frustrates us. In fact, it frustrated us SO MUCH back in 2017 that we LEFT! Now, after living abroad for 6 years, our only regret is not leaving sooner!
The idea for this video was sparked by some criticism we received about us "bashing the U.S. all the time." The argument was that we only moved abroad because it was cheaper and "cheaper is never better."
So in this video, we share 10 reasons why living abroad IS JUST BETTER than staying in the United States, and only one of the reasons is the dramatically lower cost of living.
If your only obstacle to living abroad is financial, check out our Online Income eCourse. It covers a lot of different ways to earn income online so you can have true time and LOCATION FREEDOM (like we do). Use Coupon Code AAJP20 on the order page to save 20%.
