Does this question even make sense in EU? I just walk across the border as usual and get an apartment there.

If someone says "the country" on a global forum, you kinda know which country they're from
LOL
Even more so when someone expresses the idea of fleeing from debt.
Stop! He's already dead!

Go to the library and study about the country you want to run to. I would pick someplace with a coast. Don't use your home computer or phone, you don't want anyone to find these searches.
Go buy a cheap laptop from a pawnshop and get a small Linux distro like Puppy or Tiny Core. Load Tor and find yourself a dark market. Buy a new identity. When your transaction is complete trash the laptop burn the USB stick you ran your Linux distro off of.
Buy a boat. Post all over social media about your boat and how you love sailing or fishing or whatever you do in your boat.
This is the hard part, go on a boat trip and at some point call in an emergency then abandon the boat. Make it look good drag out all the life vests and or sink the boat. Swim/row to shore and never ever ever ever go back to your old life.
You could do it for about $30k.
My local library requires you sign in, and your own device would need MAC address spoofing.
Then you could use the Linux distro with a VPN from a public wifi.
I like the way you think.
It's exceedingly hard to emigrate anywhere legally.
People generally travel and overstay their visas, hoping for the best. It'll be a rough life, though. The question is whether or not it'll be rougher than what you're leaving behind.
Hard to emigrate legally??? I moved to Australia and they're they're thirsty for any kind of graduate diploma for the people wondering about student debt. And many more places to go if you're not a sticker for 1st world, but also many that pay you while you're studying in North Europe.
Hard to emigrate legally???
On a permanent basis, yes, and OP seems to indicate that they're wanting to leave the US permanently. Lots of countries will let people enter on a temporary basis, hence my comment about overstaying one's visa.
if you're not a stickler for 1st world
That's an important distinction.
I covered all basis. Try studying in Sweden, most courses are in English. With a diploma in hands it opens the door for many countries and permanent migration.
scholarship programmes that cover tuition and living costs are available for a number of non-EU countries.
you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish
Such a very Usamerican idea... I will not go into that.
Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it
That means simply moving across a border? No problem at all. I can do that twice every day if needed.
