Coming from Western Europe, I moved to the U.S. to feel and touch the American Freedom, and accessory to design energy, and naval equipments for civil and U.S. national defense applications.
I found out that kids are in college debt at 22y.o., that healthcare is not a right but a perk, that the property tax can be 20x the one of Paris, but without the good wine and cheese.
And that if one day I become a U.S. citizen, or even a permanent resident, I will be tax liable to the IRS - even if I move outside the U.S.
I paused for a second, and asked myself: where is this American freedom?
I feel that actually I have lost a bit of my freedom.
As a result, I left ...
Great video again !

A few advantages of Türkiye....
Foreign sourced pension income is income tax free. Türkiye has double tax agreements with most Western countries.
Cost of living around one third US, Australia, UK etc.
(No income tax on pension income plus cost of living one third = net income on purchasing power parity basis four times that compared to the outcome if you live in US, Australia etc with the same pension).
Fantastic outdoor and culinary lifestyle....
Many international airports with numerous flights around the world - and only a few hours flight to and from all of Europe.
Lots of expats in Western Türkiye, so you tend to have a mix of expat and local Turks as friends and neighbours...it's wonderful.
More personal freedom...the government does not interfere in your day to day life like it does in the West. What you do on your property is your business. So there is that annoying large tree on your land, just cut it down. Want to build a permanent tool shed on your land just build it - no licence, inspections or other government interference.
World class medical and hospital services around 25% of the cost of US etc - and sometimes much lower than this (depending on the service).
Turkish people are very warm, welcoming and friendly, with stable, intact and well functioning local communities. Crime is very low - almost non existent in some parts (including where I live in Fethiye).
Helps to learn Turkish but not necessary to live here if you are in a community with a lot of expats and/or tourists (as many locals speak English, Russian etc.) That said, better to learn the language and I'm doing that now.
I moved to Türkiye four years ago via. Citizenship by Investment Program and never looked back....
Get it while you can.
They keep tightening the rules here because demand is so high.
Best of luck with your choice.

I made the decision to leave Canada permanently about a year ago, as I saw no future for myself there, and I'm currently living in Costa Rica. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's definitely much better. Nice weather, great food, friendly people, no mass immigration, no "wokeness", and honestly just a better quality of life overall. I'm looking forward to exploring other countries, but I don't plan on ever going back to Canada. I'm in my early 20s and I don't want to be a debt slave and work in a depressing country for the rest of my life. So for those who are considering leaving and can afford it, do it. Life is just too short.
