    Default Best Place to Relocate at Every Price Point?

    Imagine you're given 10k USD and have nothing else. You need to leave ASAP. Where do you go? Why? How do you sustain yourself?

    What about 50k? 100k? 500k? 10 million?

    Feel free to answer for only one or any price point.

    Well, that´s a complex question - you have to identify the factors that impact the decision. It sounds like a perfect question to use AI though. What I would do is to adjust your question to make it more generic:

    "Imagine you're given a certain amount in USD and you have nothing else. You need to leave ASAP. Where do you go? Why? How do you sustain yourself?
    Which factors influence the decision?"

    Then I would put that into an AI model, for example this one:

    https://talkai.info - free to use version of ChatGPT4).

    I am not 100% sure if it is ok to post the result here (I would suppose / argue it IS, if it is quoted as AI generated content, because I feel this is a research question where an AI response could work as a starting point for a discussion). Anyway, I will not do this because I am not 100% sure it´s ok, so you need to do this step on your own ;-)

    I can give you a hint, however, that the AI ​​would suggest a country in Southeast Asia - Thailand. At least that was my result when I tried it. Might actually be quite a good choice?

    Yes to all of that.

    But I do have to say, if I'd been given a whole $10 million back in 2011 — I'd have stayed in Switzerland. But it might need all of that or maybe more to remain free and viable there.

    I wouldn't rush to Switzerland. If it comes to throwing nukes around Geneva has to be very near the top of someone's targets list.

    Well, with 10 millions you can go where you want and live your dreams how you want...

    With 500k maybe too but sinful need some clever investment... or your dreams can turn to nightmares...

    With 100k your clock begin to tic...maybe buy some local (a Bar?) which provide daily incomes...

    With 50k you will need some partnership witch can bring some respite and also new problems...

    With 10k your error margin is nil...here you must check yourself ASAP ...what are your potentiality,talents, if you went to school can you use some degrees/title ,...? are you a handy man?

    Whatever you can do with your mind/hands, NOW is the time, to pay rent,food,learn a new language? and check the possibility from your new environment...gaining time...

    What about hobby's ? can you use some to find a job? (remember. time is ticking... )

    Enough theory, now to practice.

    My experience as foreigner :

    I couldn't use my school praxis/title because there weren't agreements between country's. then what?...
    I sold different things on marks and touristic places... you need a car (plants (very good for old lady's),puppets (good for child's and family),fashion jewelry(very good for women...)

    AND...used my passion for music,I worked 12 years as professional DJ in various Clubs with different music styles...
    I owned 1 Club too and was artistic director for another one.

    For learning new languages there was always a cheep school...

    All you need is Courage!

    Good Luck!

    PS: learning the "new "language is THE key that open all doors...

    Never want to leave because I have created a little heaven on earth where I am, but for the sake of discussion - I have always been drawn to the northern parts of Scandinavia or the north of Canada.
    There is something magical in that coldness, silence and endless white wilderness.

    How would I sustain myself?
    My dreams of ​​becoming an influencer failed , so yes, same as the last 20 years - by working for money.
    I am quite convinced that I would manage somehow even with the smallest budget.

    Is every mind connected to form a peer to peer network that creates the illusion of a shared reality, making the appearance of material reality a simulation created through shared beliefs?
