Are high paying international remote jobs possible? (alien.top)

I noticed a lot of digital nomads have to take a pay cut or have money saved up. Is it even possible to be a US citizen and have a remote job with good pay? I say this because if I want to live in a foreign country for say 3-6 months and then return back the US I don't want to be making only 30k a year.

It's easier as an independent than as an employee.

The definition of employee is they own you and your freedom.

It also makes more sense as an American abroad to be independent. Depending where you live you can get health insurance for less than 2000 a year.

Why pay for US healthcare when you can get way cheaper private health care elsewhere.

I pay 1200 in Spain, dentist included, 0 co-payment.

How do you get health care in spain? I use my medical insurance frequently and we all know America is amongst the worst place to pay for it 😅

Yep.. €40 per month for me in Barcelona. Top healthcare too. Expat from US

You must be younger than me. Lol. I used to pay way less, but age!
