Come to Europe.
Pick one of those dark blue ones:

We can't afford to move to another town, let alone another country.
Any of these have easy citizenship or legal resident process?
Some EU countries have pathways to citizenship/residency, but they are not easy. Such a path will usually involve being hired by a local company to do some type of specialized work that cannot be hired for locally. A highly skilled tech job is usually what that looks like. The other option for some countries (like Spain or Portugal) is to be wealthy and purchase a large amount of real estate in the country.
There was a subreddit called Amerexit that was an excellent resource for this information. I haven't seen anything similar on Lemmy, though. If you see such a community, let me know!
EU countries are very difficult to migrate to. Their standards for residency are just not possible for most of us. I've desperately wanted to become an EU resident/citizen for the last 30 years, but simply do not meet the criteria for any of the countries.
But thank you very much for the welcoming invitation.
