A passport costs 165 dollaroos? Damn. And I thought the 70 Euro we have to pay was excessive.
yea, but $16 a year for an instant 50-90% reduced cost of living with guaranteed high-pay employment and no income tax while retaining access to consular services is a pretty good deal.
not as good as 7 bucks a year, but I'm not exactly going to quibble over the extra ten in the face of all the benefits.
why do you keep saying lower cost of living?
If you go homeless you can also have a lower cost of living.
Contrary to popular belief, if you're dead, the cost of living is zero.
"why do you keep saying lower cost of living?"
because a lot of americans are poor and scared because they are poor.
move abroad, they aren't poor and can rapidly save money.
A lower cost of living means you have more money.
I'm...not sure I can make this simpler for you, so I hope one of those sticks.
"If you go homeless you can also have a lower cost of living."
Incorrect. You aren't living the same way, you are merely surviving which I've already pointed out in my earlier comments by specifying the easy accessibility of a lower cost of living while retaining the same or better services.
You can go homeless if you want, but that's your own playpen, not my recommendation.
"Contrary to popular belief, if you’re dead, the cost of living is zero."
How did you not know this before now?
What did you think dead people were spending money on?
yeah but we aren't talking about emmigration, we're talking about passports, passports make travel legal. They don't allow you to emmigrate. (technically they do facilitate it, but you also need a lot of paper work with whatever country you're moving to)
says who? You seem to think money comes from schizophrenia central, rather than like, a company that somebody works at. Or a job that they have, if you're homeless, you would be spending 0 money on cost of living, and therefore have SO MUCH MONEY.
sarcasm, satire even.
If i had the same level of intelligence as you, cost of living.
"yeah but we aren’t talking about emmigration"
There you go! I just have to keep repeating the same thing and knew you'd eventually catch on. Spelling notwithstanding.
'They don’t allow you to emmigrate."
Not what we're talking about, remember there champ?
"but you also need a lot of paper work with whatever country you’re moving to"
Incorrect.
"if you’re homeless, you would be spending 0 money on cost of living, and therefore have SO MUCH MONEY."
What did...that's it.
Sweet summer child, homeless people in america without income make even less than your vaunted capitalists in America, again because the cost of living is so high. Homeless people with an income are not going to be saving any money. Because they don't have an income.
No wonder you thought dead people spend money.
Dude. Book. Read.
You're hopelessly lost.
You can also ask questions, so you stop sounding so ignorant.
Your comments are embarrassing to read.
Stop acting so scared. Ask some real questions. You can learn here.
u post like a schizo bro, did u take ur meds today?
I did.
you really did.
yeah, unlike you.
that's right. i didn't abuse medication like you did.
Why are you proud of your substance abuse?
mine is prescribed, like yours should be.
All the addicts think abuse is "use". Good luck with yer addiction. When everything crashes, i can still help you.
nah, don't even think about it, i want help from people who actually know what they're talking about.
"i want help..."
Sounds like you need help, rather than want it.
But please stop begging me.
everybody needs help, i can recognize that, unlike you.
I just said that.
you really do need help.
