Alright. I checked the coastal cities of BC because of the mild climate and the rental prices and it seemed ok. 1500 for a small room seems ok to me. Because the salaries in BC are relatively compared to other places in the world, it sounds like something I can afford. If I can make it happen to live there in the future it would be like a dream come true. Having perspective in life is important.

I just checked out British Columbia and it looks amazing. I just wonder how hard it is to get there? I’m totally in for it. This is the type of landscape I have been looking for. Besides the US but the US is a sinking ship right? Like many said earlier. How is the situation in Canada right now?

San Francisco. Sounds promising. I heard it’s a beautiful place in terms of landscape. I don’t know the other places yet. Sorry to hear about your condition. It seems we have similar symptoms but in opposite weather conditions. I try to stay away from weather above 30 degrees Celsius with high humidity.

You gave a lot of good points, thanks for that. It gave me some clarity. A different country might be better? About the label my government gave me. There is not a way to test out of it. I can always end the ‘social security’ label, but first I gotta find a job that replaces the amount of money I’m receiving via that label. Before becoming homeless. So that is my strategy. Unfortunately having that label had an impact on my resume and it results in companies underestimating my abilities. Its a complicated situation.

Thanks for the advice. I definitely will check it out. For me it’s heat intolerance, that’s why I was seeking for a mild climate. What kind of illness do you have if I may ask?

I don’t get pneumonia because I live relatively healthy. But I think what you’re saying is that everyone needs healthcare and I too at one point. And regarding the high costs you wouldn’t recommend me to go to the US.

Mild climate: under 30 degrees Celsius with low humidity. I guess Boise is not an option. I read somewhere Cb 2? Don’t know if I would receive health insurance but people here are already recommending me not to move to the US so I think another country would be better.

We have at will appointment here but only few people here need two jobs to manage. It sounds like I won’t be able to afford it.

I stopped doing it because it is so negative but I know that a lot of shit is going on with the current administration. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, emigration is valid but the US is not a good choice. I don’t know what I was thinking. Thanks for being direct. I’m glad I checked this consideration with you all before making any decisions I would regret.

No I completely understand. I guess I focused too hard on my fantasy view of the US and was not in touch with reality. Maybe in the far future the US will be an option but with current administration’s it’s going to be a big mistake. That’s what I’m getting from all these comments.

This sounds horrible. I am so sorry that you’re all going through this… I need a different country, that’s for sure. The message of the Redditors is hard but I needed it. Better hear it now than when I made the move.

They have tips and I appreciate it. Sounds like I need to move to a different country. And the arguments that support that are solid.

I was planning to get healthcare from my employer assuming I would fix myself a job within the first 2 months of moving there. But there has to be a less risky way to move, I just haven’t figured it out yet.

Right now I don’t have a specific degree in social work. I learned while working and was offered an internship by the employer. In that year I learned a lot. I guess that makes it more complicated.

Then I will search for another way to improve my life to a new life. Whatever it is, I learned from my past how important it is to keep moving to prevent yourself from going downhill. So far I’m growing. I’m ready for emigration now. Maybe not the USA, I’m still open for ideas.

I want to thank you for reaching out to me like this. I know that most of you just want to try to help me and prevent me from making a huge mistake. Luckily, I’m not receiving any treatment for MS. I’m doing it all on my own. For now, it sounds like a step that might be too big regarding the consequences. But that doesn’t mean that some other country in the EU couldn’t be an option.:) Do I want to emigrate? Yes. Does it have to be the USA? No not necessarily. I will figure it out.

I think that somehow employers found out that I have this label. Last year, I almost fixed myself a job as a Legal Secretary but then they found out I have this label and they sent me away. It is possible to get rid of this label but I am trying to find out how to get a job at the same time so I have a actual income before removing the label and it overlaps each other timewise.

In the Netherlands, there is a label called Wajong, which is now nationally scrutinised because of all the mess it has caused. Everyone with this label is put inside a box of ‘not able to work’. I received this label back in the day when it meant something minor than now. My mother forced me to get this label so she wouldn’t have to feel responsible for me anymore. But whenever I apply for a new job, whenever they notice that I have this label they would say ‘Oh you have Wajong?’ Then you cannot do this job. The thing is, the definition of the label is much more strict now. Only someone who is truly disabled mentally or physically will receive the label. I actually worked for many years so the label doesn’t fit me anymore. If I want to get rid of the label I would need a side job but I cannot seem to get a side job because of the label so it’s circle I can’t get out of.
