Don't do it OP, traveling and broadening your mind might make you enjoy life and then you'd not be so nonchalant about deleting yourself. You might end up on prison, where you'll suffer doubly due to your newfound love of life and freedom! Better semi-suffer in an empty existence for the rest of your life like most others.
Or like, just stay on a foreign beach with your embezzled money and a drink in your hand and never come back. Actually seems like the best option overall...

Credit cards caught on to this around 2010 or so. That’s why balance transfers always have a fee now. You could do this with either balance transfers or cash advances, both of which have fees now. So you’ll end up increasing the balance by 3% each month.
I've heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you're stuck in Europe and can't pay back the debt for 10 years then like…
My understanding is you can absolutely end up with a lien and other such things, so it wouldn't be a good idea unless you're ready to burn every financial bridge with the US for the foreseeable future. But if you're not coming back, then that's that I guess.
Europe doesn't use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.
The biggest challenge is actually maintaining good standing with the federal government because over the last 20 years or so they've been racking on more and more income taxes on foreign income, and if you live abroad as a US citizen you're still legally required to pay income tax. Then once expats started renouncing their citizenship because of the rapidly increasing cost of maintaining a citizenship they no longer needed the federal government started throwing more and more barriers up to make it harde and more time consuming to renounce your citizenship
Fun fact: the Big Three US American credit unions have a time horizon of seven years. This is set by law. This fucks me, because all my credit accounts are older than that. But the seven year horizon is good for this guy and folks who have declared bankruptcy.
Just put your ultra capitalist hat when the time comes to repay them. Tell them its a free market and they took a risk like all for profit ventures, but its not looking good for them and better luck next time. Also nice tits bro, very milk.
Thats how i feel about the idiot debt collectors making themselves liable for my small medical debts :) like, i didnt ask you to pay for that bro but thanks i guess lol
It can get kind of old seeing stuff on social media that's just using every easy trick available to fish for engagement though, especially when now a lot of it is probably bots and various propaganda campaigns. Especially if it's being posted somewhere that people can otherwise have more thoughtful and interesting conversations.
My wife has had bad credit for a good chunk of the time we've known eachother, and its really incredible seeing what circumstances cause the offer letters to start or stop flowing. Basically the only thing that made the offer letters stop fully was when she got a head injury and couldn't remember to do any weekly or monthly tasks and defaulted on all 3 of her credit cards. That stopped the letters for a few months until the first couple of cards were paid off in full from collections and then the credit offer letters started flowing again.
I mean, most of the time they don't really check. At worst you might get a company which wants a paystub or two to verify income but those are just PDF files that can be edited. If you're already planning on breaking some laws and contracts, nothing to stop you from breaking a few more
