If you want a boost, check out the Finland IT program. They pretty much want a bunch of developers and IT people to move there, and it's an official govt. program. If you want, you can get citizenship in a couple years and become an EU citizen

Currently, the max on public insurance is about 800€/month incl. „Pflegeversicherung“ for when you need permanent care after injuries or old age. You‘re paying half of that, your employer pays the other half.
There‘s also tuition at universities but it’s not comparable to US universities. I don’t know the current level. It was the equivalent of around 100€ per semester when I was a student.
Croatia just started a program where you can stay for a year (instead of the usual 90 days) as a digital nomad. > A DIGITAL NOMAD IS a third-country national who is employed or performs work through communication technology for a company or his own company that is not registered in the Republic of Croatia and does not perform work or provide services to employers in the Republic of Croatia. https://www.croatia.hr/en-…

Canada is one of the few countries that explicitly allows remote work on a tourist visa.
