> with $10k of financial engineering the problem goes away for forever
As an American this upsets me greatly to hear. I feel it makes living abroad, especially to families of average means in this country, almost an impossible feat.
I also wonder if only leaving the country for short duration vacation/business contributes to the "We're the best country ever!" mentality here and the "Wow, look at those weirdos over in America" mentality abroad. Or maybe that's just me paying too much attention to the news lately.
