I'm sorry but if he's selling personal possessions to fund a car payment he's already behind on, he doesn't have the money to move to another country, even a cheap one.

But if you move country, you will no longer need that expensive USA house and car, so you can sell them and get a far cheaper house and car in the country you move to.

  If he had a lot of equity, he would not be behind on payments, he probably would have refinanced, and you are neglecting the upfront costs of an international move. You might eventually save money, but that's not super helpful to this person's situation.

    "An international move" doesn't need to be as expensive as you make it sound. Once you sort out a visa, you can literally buy a plane ticket, pack a backpack, and get on a plane. Bali has recently introduced a nomad visa: https://www.euronews.com/travel/amp/2022/06/24/balis-new-digital-nomad-visa-means-foreigners-can-live-and-work-in-indonesia-tax-free https://www.euronews.com/travel/amp/2022/06/24/balis-new-dig... If OP were able to find part time work online, moving to a tropical climate in a new environment could potentially help their condition. The biggest challenge would be medication, but even with that they could probably figure it out. Living in a different environment can definitely help with your health. IMO, if they've been stuck where they are for years, it's not a silly idea at all to make a complete change of environment and see how they do.

  I don't think you're being at all realistic. Have you tried an international, inter-cultural move, while disabled and broke? The post mentioned "I live with family", so I don't think selling "that expensive USA house" is an option, neither is there likely much equity in the car (already behind on a payment).
