Link Round-Up: The Why I've Chosen Now to Bail Edition

While I haven't given up on my country, I like most things about the US just fine thank you, this is the year that I have chosen to be about as "un-American" as they come. I no longer have a house, car, credit card, physical address, job, and most other things that one associates with the American Dream. Apparently I am not the only one. Here's some links to consider:

• Geographic Arbitrage: Save Money By Leaving the Country
• Living on Less in Mexico
• Sailing Away from the American Dream
• An Idiot's Guide to Living with 417 Things
• So, What Do You Do?
• How Simple Living Can Make You Feel Rich Overnight

And, slightly unrelated yet related: Instead of Protesting Change, Adjust Your Own Career (a great blog post by Penelope Trunk. Usually her posts are rambling, just-this-side-of-a-psychotic-break kind of stuff but this post was spot on).
