You need to earn $117k to afford a median priced home in the US. That’s $33k MORE than the median income in the US. There has never been a better time to leave. There are lots of countries where you can still afford to live. #moveabroad

Inspirational story about a woman who quit her job in Texas and moved to Spain to reinvent herself. More proof it can be done 🥳 #expat #moveabroad #spain #madrid

When I left Texas for Spain, ‘I gained the freedom to redefine myself’—it would’ve been impossible in the U.S.
"I found not just a new place to live, but a new way to live," says Cepee Tabibian, the founder of She Hit Refresh, which helps U.S. women ages 30+ move abroad.

Sorry T&L, but this list is not very helpful since most of these countries don’t have visas that will work for a typical American. And Portugal should not be on any lists until they clear their 350,000+ visa application backlog. #expat #moveabroad

I traveled solo a lot for business and once for pleasure. Can’t say I enjoyed it all that much. It was very lonely, although it was long before digital nomads and co-working spaces. Maybe it’s easier to meet people now. Thankful for my travel companion. #solotravel

There are lots of other countries besides Canada that we can learn from who are doing a much better job with healthcare. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. We just need to put people over profits, but it may be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
The issue isn’t whether Universal Healthcare can work. The issue is how do we get from where we are to UH. It took Canada decades and it has a ton of limits we might not like.

The point being we have to find a starting point that can grow it into what works here
