I moved to Taiwan. Pay is less than America, but cost of living is also way less so it’s relative. We get universal health care which offsets the lower income.
For reference, my water bill is around 30usd a month and my electric is 100usd. My 5G unlimited data cellphone is 20usd a month.
Childcare is way cheaper than America, and more abundant.
My family has Taiwanese citizenship. But to get a Gold Card status, the requirements are not too difficult. There are a certain skillset that Taiwan government is looking to import. The gold card has a full path to citizenship.
When I first came over I just worked nights at my American job. I just didn’t tell them and worked via VPN.
Much later, I started picking up work locally as a freelancer and now globally.
