... I live in the US.
I'm 21 years old and I realize that the US is fucked up. I don't know why everyone else, including some very very intelligent people, are ignoring all these very BIG problems within the United States. I feel like the US is slowly turning into the movie "Idiocracy"
I would like - no, I'm going to eventually - move out of here. I have to.
I'm sort of stuck right now. I'm going onto my 3rd year at a major university (Go Spartans!) and my family, whom I'm very close too, is in the United States. I'd also like to finish my BBA and then get my MBA, but this country might be so fucked up by then. So I don't know!
I have a friend that moved down to Mexico and LOVES it. He said the taxes are bullshit, but then again at least we know where it's all going. On top of that he says there are large opportunities down their. On top of being a free economy, you can produce stuff for ALOT cheaper than in the United States. Given his company runs operations in the US and Mexico, he's currently saved his company $500,000/year by replacing their paint supplier from the United States, with one in Mexico. And we're only talking about a $40mill in revenue a year company. An extra %1.25 turnover in the manufacturing business is HUGE.
Any other suggestions? Am I being too naive? Too pessemistic? Any good suggestions, or (constructive) criticism, let me know.
Just a bit more info to help on some advice, I'm making a good amount of income, enough to pay the bills, splurge a bit. About 6k/month give or take a few K. I have no outstanding debt. So alot more options may be open.
