This problem solves itself as I can't say I have seen many remote jobs that truly pay a US salary but allow you to live abroad permanently. Many people say they support location-independent salaries but reality says otherwise. Portugal has so low living costs you can live like a king on half of that, many german pensioners live there drawing a 1.5k pension a month and they eat at restaurants for basically every meal. I know someone who hasn't turned on the oven at home for 17 years. That said, southern europe is not so 'anti-alised' as parts of US, but it's pretty nice, the quality of life is amazing. Lisbon even has its own Golden Gate Bridge, called the '25 de Abril' Bridge.
