If there was a program where some place will pay for you to travel there and have guaranteed housing and employment then i would take it
I'm doing that now. Barely making it, but went off to a Spanish speaking place.
I actually want to return to North America, and have to return to Canada (not American). Id like to live in my home country, but thats not even the issue.
I literally can't afford to live in my home country with my salary. I don't want to live in student housing in my 30s, I don't want to live with 10 other jeet roommates, I'm not going to be paying thousands in rent, etc.
I don't know if things will get better, but for context, I took a pay hike and make probably half of what I would in Canada, for more stress- but my rent is only 350 a month for a 3 bedroom, utilities 200 max, food- it costs me 50 a week for what would cost me 200 dollars worth of groceries in Canada, and I'm getting by just fine. I had some savings because I knew shit was going to hit the fan during the pandemic and thats when I left, before I was forced to get the jab, but
My hope is that in a few years or decade Canada will have its shit figured out and all the jeets will be gone, or at the least housing will be fixed and maybe then I'll consider moving back. I doubt that will happen though, so maybe I'll reevaluate things in a few years regardless, and maybe take the plunge, commit to another country long term, but I'll figure that out later if things are beyond hope for the nation. I think theres a high chance that they are, but lets see how things start going once Trudeau is gone.
Right now though, I'm sad and relieved that I'm gone from this country. Thats my story. My ancestors were brave enough to colonize this place, I'm trying to take on some of that frontier mentality and move to where its a bit better to bunker down, risks included for the benefits. The part I take solace in is, unlike all those American celebrities who are always like 'If Donald Trump wins, I'm leaving the country!!!"
Well, when Trudeauland got bad enough in 2020, I
actually left the country. I come back on occasion. I came back for part of the year this year, to KW in Ontario for the first time since the pandemic started, and BOY. NO, NONONO. GLAD IM GONE. What the fuck happened between 2020 and 2024. Like seriously, what the fuck?
