alt Hacker NewsMy family is looking at Missouri to Spain.
Why Spain: Expat communities, cost of living, friendly visa options, beautiful climate.
Why leave: Sick of U.S. politics and the way it directly and indirectly affects us and how difficult it is to escape from it - it’s a major point of conversations with family and friends, it’s on the local radio, local subreddit, local social media pages, etc.
Also, I have over $7k in personal medical costs annually (out of pocket). That’s just me, not my family cumulatively. For Ostomy supplies, iron infusions, and more.

From what I understand, Spain has their own set of politics worth losing sleep over; perhaps as an expat you won't be as attached though.
Housing is really expensive in Spain and Portugal right now. I live in BC and mid/small cities there are actually more expensive than here

americans pretending they aren't immigrants by using the term expat always cracks me up
