So imagine this:

you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish

Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

    LOL

    Even more so when someone expresses the idea of fleeing from debt.

        Especially when it’s student loans or medical debt.

      I don’t think that’s entirely correct. For example, there are a “good” amount of people in Germany too that are privatinsolvent.

      I like it where I live too, even though obviously not everything is perfect. But if you had a crippling debt that you could never pay off, then moving to another country to lose that debt is appealing.

        people in Germany too that are privatinsolvent.

        That is somehow the opposite. They get a chance to nullify their debts without the need to flee.
