There were only “two parties in all States,” Randolph concluded. “The ins and the outs.” The ins construed governmental power broadly for the gain of their own “patronage and wealth,” while the outs tried to limit such power. “But let the outs get in . . . and you will find their Constitutional scruples and arguments vanish like dew before the morning sun.”

I addressed that in a comment but I did not include that in the body.

The FEIE is super simple to fill out.

There is a system whereby foreign banks are obligated to report accounts held by Americans to the US for "anti terrorism" purposes.

And as a us citizen you are also obligated to report all of your foreign accounts in a FBAR filing each year.

1. tldr: "30 grand will last you at least 5 years of very comfortable living if you're at all trying to budget wisely.

2. the easiest and most immediately profitable is English teacher, but remote work is vast and covers every field, so it really depends on what you're interested in.

totally depends on your habits and proclivities, but I lived on less than $300 a month for about a year. a lot of hostels in Asia and Europe have monthly discounts and they're already like $7 a day. in Asia they can be $2 a day for a bunk bed in a room.

private rooms are 10 to 15 bucks a day, but if you're going to do that then just go to a hotel and pay for the month, which you can easily get for $200 to $300 a month all utilities included.

I've been doing this a while, so right now I'm living in India paying $300 a month for a private two-bedroom two bathroom full kitchen, living room and dining room house plus rooftop terrace parking garage, the whole package, all utilities included plus free unlimited Wi-Fi.

about $0.90 will get you at one entree of chili goby, 2 to 4 rotis and a side of dal or curry.

kabobs are about $0.20 here, potstickers are up to $0.10 each.

anyway, you can live extremely cheaply in the beginning and then figure out what you want and go from there.

If you have 30 grand and no experience traveling, you can rent private condos or houses in a couple dozen countries off tge top of my head for less than 500 USD a month, all utilities included.

in the cheaper countries, you can spend $20 a day eating out at the fancier restaurants or go to the mom and pop shops or cook yourself and spend $1-3 a day on simpler meals.

If you want to pamper yourself and live in more expensive countries, you can double all those prices, but the more you travel the better you'll get at traveling and finding good prices.

30 grand will last you at least 5 years if you're at all watching your money,.

annually, you only need a couple thousand to live indoors and eat as much as you want, several thousand to to live privately end comfortably and enjoy entertainment everyday, and a few thousand after that to splurge most of the year.

important consideration is that you only need to make five grand a year for all of your expenses well traveling in the more affordable countries (of which there are dozens), anything after that is play money.

If you have zero skills or certifications, English teaching is the easiest and quickest way to make money. you're instantly making $12 to $20 an hour repeating primary colors and fundamental vocabulary to smart well-behaved children for 45 minutes at a time.

you can get a tefl certification for 40 bucks on Groupon, that lasts for a lifetime and increases your pay up to $20 even without experience.

or you can just fly over to China and you'll get a job that week starting at an absolute minimum of $12 if you fuck up the interview and dress like a homeless person.

Last I checked, Saudi Arabia (and some provinces in China) was paying $6,000 US a month for English teachers.

that's the easiest, but there are plenty of other jobs you can do.

there are too many jobs to list, you can write articles if you're good at writing, you can get free it certifications and work as an SEO optimizer, you can literally pick berries and work seasonally in some countries.

I knew a Spanish couple who are just trying to choose a country and they just moved to whichever place had berry picking work that year, worked a couple days a week.

If I know your interests, talents or proficiencies I can suggest more specific jobs in that field, but again, you only need to make five grand a year to live very comfortably, and you only need a couple grand to live in a dorm and eat good food everyday.

If you have those savings you're talking about, you have a minimum of 5 years to figure out a way to make $5,000 bucks a year to maintain your standard of living, although you'll probably save money the longer you travel.
