Not for me. You also have to look really closely at the overall tax rate, and what you get or don't get. For example, I paid slightly higher taxes when we lived in the next county over, but I didn't have to pay directly for garbage collection or other things. If you move from California to Texas "for the tax benefits," know that your property taxes are going to be WAY higher and other things cost more too, so it doesn't really net out. In fact, your effective tax rate may be higher all things considered. I'd happily move to a country with "higher taxes" if I got single payer healthcare and all of the other benefits.

Drop out of society for a year. Come back as Batman.

@Lary Neron haha Was just the reference that came to mind because it’s what Bruce Wayne did.

🔍 researched it, not sure the best route

I don’t know if this is the “right” way, but I pretty much exclusively go to legitimate banks and use their ATMs when traveling. I bank in the US with Schwab who cover ATM fees, so that takes care of that for me.
