Just move to another country. You might also get free medicine as a bonus.

Fuck I wish it were that easy. I wanna get the fuck out of here.

Well, from my experience - it's very easy. Pack your shit and move.

Really? How? Where did you move? Did you get citizenship, or like a work visa?

Living abroad as an American is pretty dope.

Isn't it a bitch to stay indefinitely and find work legally?

Depends on where you go and what your skills are. I've had steady, legal work for six years and am now choosing to go back to the US. For me personally living abroad was never going to be permanent. And I'll probably go back to it at some point. But I wouldn't trade the last six years for anything.
