I'm currently employed for less than 30K USD a year (trying to remain vague). Obviously there has got to be some sort of advantage somewhere..

- Foreign country - Low cost of life - High quality of life - Learning interesting new things - Current position prepare me to execute vague World Domination plan - Heck, freedom!

Once done in my current position I'll even take a break for a couple of months working for free doing computer stuff with migrants.

I certainly made choices on the way but I don't regret not having a car, a house or a family.

How about you are the fool of your own decisions (mortgage loan, family expenses, etc..)?




Would you be willing to say a bit more about which country and how you got there? (My E-Mail is in my profile.)

I'm currently in Switzerland, but I plan to live in Mediterranean countries other than Italy and Spain for some time in the future. I only ever lived in rich European countries, so I would be interested in your experiences.
