The average hater of expats is just a "Tanguy"

The average hater of expats is just a "Tanguy" afraid to leave his mom.
Criticizing expats is often just a way to hide one's own fear of moving.
We always hear the same arguments:
- "You don’t pay taxes."
- "You won’t have a pension."
- "You’ll come back to France for healthcare."
- "Bali is ugly and poor; I prefer Val-de-Marne."
But in reality, expats aren’t the problem. The fear of those who stay is.
🔹 Fear of leaving their comfort zone.
🔹 Fear of taking control of their own lives.
🔹 Fear of losing the safety of a system that holds their hand.
🔹 Fear of building their own retirement, security, and future.
🔹 Fear of being in charge of their own health.
Expatriation is like leaving your parents’ house:
- It takes courage.
- It takes resources.
- It takes responsibility.
It’s not for everyone.
But if you feel stuck, trapped, or imprisoned, there’s a solution: take the leap! It was the best decision of my life.
💡 With freedom comes responsibility. But trust me, it’s worth it.
So, when are you packing your bags? 🚀
