"Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside." Your best scenario is to work remotely for a US company while living in a low cost of living country.

    >You still pay US income taxes while an expat as long as you have your citizenship. Misleading. You are compelled to file taxes in the US.
