We shouldn’t push a positive mindset on those in poverty

First, it’s a lot to ask of someone to leave the country where their friends and family live. Many aren’t interested in doing that.

Immigrating elsewhere is also not easy if you’re in a less in demand profession. Of course these are the ones where it’s most likely to have unsupportable amounts of debt.

If you’re a US citizen, you are still required to pay taxes on your global income no matter where you live in the world. If you ever get a tax refund, it can be garnished for federal student loans that are in default.

"If you’re a US citizen, you are still required to pay taxes on your global income no matter where you live in the world."

The first 108 000 dollars that you make elsewhere are exempt. You can live quite comfortably in most of Europe on 108 000 dollars brutto.
