We Escaped Poverty in the USA By Leaving | Our $1,300 Life in Albania

We left the U.S. looking for a life we could actually afford—and found it in Albania. In this video, I’m sharing a full month of our family of three’s expenses while slow traveling across the country, including rent, groceries, transportation, and more. Our total cost of living? Just over $1,300—and it’s given us more peace, freedom, and time to enjoy life than we’ve had in years. I’ll show you exactly where that money went and why Albania might be the hidden option for anyone dreaming of leaving the U.S. for a better life. Whether you’re curious about the cost of living in Albania, thinking about moving abroad on a budget, or just dreaming of a slower, more affordable lifestyle in Europe, this video has you covered. 📌 Related Video: Want to know how to leave the U.S. and start your own life abroad?
