Do you think $100k cash is enough to leave the country permanently? srs

US seems like it's headed for communism/inflation/civil war, is $100k cash enough to leave for good to somewhere in Europe? I have that much + $150k in retirement savings, no debt, no real assets tying me down.

I'm a 33 year old single engineer and wouldn't mind studying software for a while to eventually land a job overseas.

I know Europe isn't the best, but there are still places where globohomo hasn't set its roots in completely. THoughts?

Edit: Some people for whatever reason might think I'm asking if it's enough to retire, that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if it's a good enough safety net, since I would know nobody there and will probably start without a job if I can't manage to secure one before moving.

You ever hear of a place called Poland? They don't tolerate this ******* chit down there. Many other places just like it I'm sure.

I'm not talking about moving to Londonistan brah.

No matter what happens, I'm staying here. I can't leave my homeland behind.

If chit completely hits the fan, I'm going to stay and work for a better future.

I really do love America and I want what's best for my countrymen.

banks are buying up all real estate so you will be renting forever
globalists are staging cyber attacks on things as crucial as power/food/water so they will have further control of that as well
more pandemics and more vaccines will be released
LGBTQ will become even more prevalent and your kids will be exposed to that garbage
universal basic income will be released which will make people reliant on the government
fed is printing trillions of dollars making your dollars worthless

brahs, it's over. the USA we cherished is now full of illegals and people that come here just to exploit the country for it's resources. we are literally on the cusp of being destroyed from within, it's now the divided states of america (DSA)

If you're planning to work then it's more than enough. All you need to cover is your living costs for a while as you get setup. Then work part time or whatever while you study
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

I lived in Bulgaria for 3 years recently. I have fuk u money and I was trying to spend as much as possible going out and vacationing. I was eating at 5 star restaurants daily and going to the sickest clubs nightly. Hitting the beachside/mountain resorts on the weekends. Got spa treatments a few times a week. Etc.... I struggled to spend more than 4k a month. You could easily live kingly there for like 2k a month. I loved it and I recommend it. I bought a sick condo in the center of Sofia and big house right outside the city. Not sure how rent is but you could probably buy something for 80k(small soviet style apartment) in the center and use the remaining 70k to live really well for the next 3 years. Now if you make money while doing all this you could buy a pretty nice place for 120k in a good part of town. Have some reserves and be good to go. Its definitely doable.

Edit: I also had 2 fookin maids. Factored into that 4k

Lost forever like apocalypse or something? I live in a big city and it's pretty alright even though it's really intense.

A good life depends on who you ask.

Life for me has not always been easy, but it has always been among Americans.

No matter your race, religion, politics, you are a part of America.

What I want is the best possible future for my country.

Bulgarian girls can be broken down like this:
6/10 in Sofia are non sloot wife material that come from religious traditional families.
2/10 are not attractive
And the remaining 2/10 are HBB Balkan turbo sloots(god bless you mami)
I didn't run across any girls that did drugs
I didn't see any girls that drank too much frequently

These girls don't need saving tho so panties won't come flying off for a foreigner. They love their country and aren't looking for a green card.

Looks wise they are an amazing mix. They've been conquered by Greeks, Roman's, Turks, Persians and they have Slavic blood too. Some of the girls I saw there looked like fookin masterpieces they were so beautiful.

I still have my house and condo there. I took off when covid started getting ****gy. As life would have it I decided to start a business I can do internationally but based in the US. I'm finishing setting up this year and heading back. Just lawl I'm spending 20k a month in Florida right now for a similar lifestyle I had in Sofia for 4k. I was having more fun there too.

I never said I planned to retire off of $100k. I fully intend to work until 55 or so. The question is whether that much is enough as a stable safety net.

Poland, Belarus, and Russia seem to be immune to this.

Keep in mind Poland-Russian relations are deteriorating. Recently Putin blamed WW2 on Poland.

Belarus is the last European dictatorship, so there's some political stability until Lukashenko dies.

Bro your view of reality has been heavily influenced by media companies. They want you to lose faith in your country.

Illegal immigrants actually prop up the economy, they harvest the food we eat every day. They build the houses and do all the jobs that people don't want to do. They come here to work.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as you make it out to be, and all this stuff was definitely fed to you by media companies online or otherwise.

I definitely won't be renting forever, I am financing land and building my own home. Even if I took the typical route, it's really not impossible to afford a mortgage. It's actually cheaper than renting, which is why people started doing it in the late 1940s.

The irony here is that India is the country where the US dollar has the most purchasing power.

You could actually live in comfort for many, many years in India with 100k US dollars, more than any other country.

You are welcome to stay in America, as you said earlier in this thread that it's your home.

The media is always pushing fear and doom, that's what makes money.

If you understand this then it won't mess with your head so much.

I would think 100K would be enough to relocate anywhere. Maybe not retire, but to relocate and start another job, Sure.
