If it's for the girl, somehow I suspect she might be alot less enthusiastic about you coming to live in Turkey vs. you being her ticket to America.

I took an overseas vacation with my dad last month and had an incredible time in a low cost of living country and met a beautiful girl who is just my type. What’s horrible is if I were to bring her to the US, it would take months for the paperwork to go through and hundreds of dollars. I’m thinking about quitting my job and moving overseas to live my life with an actual direction. Not spending $2000 a month on taxes, +$1000 a month in rent + a few hundred more for phone bill, electric, water, internet, etc. I tried buying a house in 2020, 2021, and 2024, failed each time for different reasons. (Offer not accepted, insufficient income to get a loan, and the house failed inspection in 2024. I looked at buying a 30,000 house in the ghetto but there are shootings within a mile every week. Anyway, it’s getting old now so I’m thinking of leaving. Quit?! You want to quit your 6-figure (yeah, I know that ain't shit no more) job to be with this lady overseas? Not take it with you (if that's possible)? Why? Are you going to be able to find the same or similar job there? And if not... This is going to come off as incredibly rude, for which I apologize in advance: Why do you think she'll still be around you, sans 100K+ USD/year coming in? I don't care if you leave the US. I would, if I had a realistic bailout strategy. Your idea sounds unwise. Though, if you're going to be romantic and stupid, 26 is a great time to do it. |

You are looking at the second country through the eyes and wallet you have now. If you move you wont be making the same money as the job you have now. Also....needs to be said....many foreign women like Americans cause they believe they are rich and want to travel to America. When you are just another dude living in their country ..ehhh.. not so much.
If you bring her here you wont spend hundreds of dollars. You will spend THOUSANDS. I know

I’m much older than OP but if the opportunity arose, sure I’d move to another country.
Spend some time on YouTube. There’s lots of channels dedicated to ex pats. Not sure what you do for a living but I’d make sure those skills are transferable and you can either get a job in whatever country or work remote or start some sort of remote business. You’re only young and responsibility free once in life. Go for it. Worst case scenario you hate it and come back after a year no worse off but with lots of memories and life experience |

OP, go for it.
Next year, plan is already in the works to work remotely and reside fulltime in South America. I'm keeping my place in Houston for travel and visiting friends and family back home when I do make the trip. But I say this, America is by far the greatest country on this planet. However, there's more to life than living the American 9-5 way of life during the week just to get two days off. Create avenues and passive income for yourself and enjoy what's left of your time on this earth. |

Up into the 1980’s , German women marrying US GIs to get out of Germany was a thing. Once the 70’s hit, Germany was pretty much out of the postwar recovery and the desperate brides dried up. |

You are in the Detroit metro area...i can see how even a slave bazaar in Mauritania could look awesome. Frog, you've been raised in a boiling pot and know little else. The majority of Turkey's shock troops are currently off on serious religious and real estate missions in North and Western Europastan. When they trickle home, they'll be eyeballing you with one of their home girls. Seriously not discouraging you to fly off on foreign adventures. Hell, you are young, have some bank, transferable skills and are single....g-g-go for it! If in your shoes, I'd consider traveling more of your own country, too. Detroit. One of my coworkers was born and raised there. He left for a stint in the Navy thirty years ago. He's lived in SE Asia, Europe , points all over the US and a few years married to a native in the Philippines. I asked if he ever goes back home. "Hell, naw. Detroit is a shithole!"

What’s horrible is if I were to bring her to the US, it would take months for the paperwork to go through and hundreds of dollars. I’m thinking about quitting my job and moving overseas to live my life with an actual direction. Not spending $2000 a month on taxes, +$1000 a month in rent + a few hundred more for phone bill, electric, water, internet, etc. I tried buying a house in 2020, 2021, and 2024, failed each time for different reasons. (Offer not accepted, insufficient income to get a loan, and the house failed inspection in 2024. I looked at buying a 30,000 house in the ghetto but there are shootings within a mile every week. Anyway, it’s getting old now so I’m thinking of leaving. I hear certain business outfits in Russia are hiring. |

The grass is always greener in the other side of the fence. Those foreing girls always love a rich American until they drain his bank account. What are you going to be working at? Do you have a work permit from Turmey.
FWIW I have been all over Turkey. It is neither clean nor safe. |

Dude. Don't work 20 more years in a job you hate and regret that you'd forgotten to live.
Go, assuming you be a productive member of society there. If not the latter, go just to be sure. |
