Generic disappear

Go to the library and study about the country you want to run to. I would pick someplace with a coast. Don't use your home computer or phone, you don't want anyone to find these searches.

Go buy a cheap laptop from a pawnshop and get a small Linux distro like Puppy or Tiny Core. Load Tor and find yourself a dark market. Buy a new identity. When your transaction is complete trash the laptop burn the USB stick you ran your Linux distro off of.

Buy a boat. Post all over social media about your boat and how you love sailing or fishing or whatever you do in your boat.

This is the hard part, go on a boat trip and at some point call in an emergency then abandon the boat. Make it look good drag out all the life vests and or sink the boat. Swim/row to shore and never ever ever ever go back to your old life.

You could do it for about $30k.

It's exceedingly hard to emigrate anywhere legally.

People generally travel and overstay their visas, hoping for the best. It'll be a rough life, though. The question is whether or not it'll be rougher than what you're leaving behind.

Too many variables, what do you consider fleeing?

I have a passport and could make it over a border for a couple hundred. Staying there, (not getting deported), and supporting myself would be the issue.

I already have a ticket for regional public transport in all of Germany. Some trains going to train stations just over the border in neighbouring countries are covered as well. So I'll just take one of them. 0€.

If you count the ticket it's 49€.

I'd leave over nothing, if I could I'd get on a plane right fucking now without even saying goodbye to anyone, but I'd also be willing to flee over my $35000 and rising student loans.

Nope. Not for a billion.
I live a modest life (no car, no real estate, no luxury) and my most valuable possessions are a laptop, a bicycle and the firewood in my shed, each worth around 500€. But I'm living in a nice little house at the edge of a forest in cycling range to the city and my unionized job, which sustains me and my family, working 33 hours/week with 40 vacation days (plus 12 holidays and unlimited sick days).
I have a support network, a non-profit I volunteer at, free healthcare, secure pension, disability insurance and enough saved up to deal with most emergencies. I know that my friends are actually friends, not freeloaders.

Moving to a different country and receiving a load of money would literally destroy my life.

I guess zero dollars if you just walk over the border

you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish

Such a very Usamerican idea... I will not go into that.

Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

That means simply moving across a border? No problem at all. I can do that twice every day if needed.

Fleeing the country? Like going on vacation? I guess the cost of the vacay.

running from debt is very different from getting money. debt follows you, perhaps even more easily than money.

I'd move for half a mil

Owed to who? Legit lenders ? If it got that bad, I’d just declare bankruptcy (inb4 Michael Scott memes). Some shady dude who is going to murder my family if I don’t repay them? Idk, they’d probably get me or my loved ones either way

Whatever the flight ticket is to a cool country(most countries).

I'm down to take that and jet.

As far as debt? Also mot much. 30k? I would live somewhere else to erase that debt overnight.

I have a thin inroad to Canada and with the way America is going, it's not the worst option.

$0, I already have the means I am just experiencing a moral issue
