GingTFO isn’t actually a huge problem for Americans. I’ve looked into it and the only reason I’m still here is that my wife refuses to leave and I love her too much to leave her. Dozens of countries will give Americans residency, although citizenship is usually a lot more difficult and/or takes years. There is usually a minimum income requirement, but you don’t have to be rich. I’ve seen it in the $1200-$2k/mo range in multiple places. Of course this has to be income you can still make while you’re in the new country, not a US job you’re going to give up. Makes it pretty sweet for “digital nomads” tho who can work remotely.
A few countries highly rated by expats are Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay (esp good environment for LGBTQ+), and Thailand. Vietnam doesn’t even have a visa limit - technically it’s 3 or 5 years but all you have to do is go away for like 30 days. There are lots of others. If you want to get started google “Americans moving abroad”, there are tons of helpful videos and articles.
