take out a business loan under llc
You need to have a feasable business to do that part.
Not if you say you do ✨AI✨

As someone who games banks as best I can this would absolutely not work.
As best you legally can…
Ah, yes, let's go with that.
Credit cards caught on to this around 2010 or so. That’s why balance transfers always have a fee now. You could do this with either balance transfers or cash advances, both of which have fees now. So you’ll end up increasing the balance by 3% each month.
My grandparents did this for decades with 20+ cards. Yes it's illegal to do this.
Don't do it OP, traveling and broadening your mind might make you enjoy life and then you'd not be so nonchalant about deleting yourself. You might end up on prison, where you'll suffer doubly due to your newfound love of life and freedom! Better semi-suffer in an empty existence for the rest of your life like most others.
Or like, just stay on a foreign beach with your embezzled money and a drink in your hand and never come back. Actually seems like the best option overall...
Not problems ending up ON prison, you just jump down the side.
Hope you've got some of that broken leg serum
Happened to a buddy of mine, took out a bunch of loans during covid, and stopped paying rent. he didn’t travel but he lived large, pretty much spent it all on prostitutes and what not, then when the money ran out he couldn’t pull the trigger.
With a little help he got instituted for a few days and then got some government funded counselling (not in the states obviously)
He couch surfed for a bit, luckily we have a tight friend group
He landed back on his feet, still on the hook for all of it and the government started garnishing his wages, But he found a good stable girl who takes care of him and he’s happier than I’ve ever seen him, he works, he takes care of himself. I’m proud of him. He’s come a long way.
If we all did this capitalism would collapse.
Its all part of the risk calculation that's made by the loan companies that make these credit offers to those deemed to be high credit risk.
Who they really are trying to hook are people who live paycheck to paycheck and keep rotating a balance of old loan balances and newer loan balances because between origination fees, interest, late fees and any other BS fees they decide to tack on they can make absolute bank indefinitely off of folks who struggle with budgeting and are constantly one surprise away from taking on more debt. Alternatively its folks who think in terms of monthly payments and nothing else
Sounds like we should all do this.
Clearly not, because $country did all this shit, and capitalism did not collapse, somehow...this time.
Dang, why not.
Sometimes thats the attitude it takes
At that point why not just declare bankruptcy? If he was couch surfing then he had no assets to lose. Sure bankruptcy fucks your credit for a while but it's better than having nothing and still having your wage garnished. That's literally the situation that bankruptcy exists for. If you somehow get yourself in a truely irrecoverable amount of debt then it's your get out of jail relatively free card.
He did go down that path but he wasn’t fully out of depression by then, as part of it he needed to make some monthly payments to the lawyer as I recall, and because he was still on the fence of offing himself he didn’t keep up with it, and once it’s filed and not followed up with, it’s harder for it to get approved in the future, so he kind of fucked himself.
Also half of the loans were government Covid aid that he applied for even though he wasn’t eligible, he applied to everything and they sent him a lot of money because at that point in the pandemic the government was writing blank cheques that they would just follow up with and scrutinize later.
All of that government money is not eligible to be taken care of through bankruptcy, so he would still owe half of the debt regardless.

Ahh, so he did a bunch of fraud. The reason the government was writing blank cheques was because people were dying in the millions and businesses were failing left and right. He's lucky he's not in prison.
I'm glad he's doing better now, but I can't help but think of the people who needed that money and might not have gotten it in time (or maybe at all) because of what he did. Does he ever think about that, do you know?
My brother in Christ, have you heard of filing bankruptcy?
I... Declare... BANKRUPTCY!!!
I've heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you're stuck in Europe and can't pay back the debt for 10 years then like…
Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?
“You’ve heard of people”. No, you haven’t.
Europe is a big place, are we talking flee to the UK or Albania?
Surprisingly enough it's incredibly technically feasible.
The biggest challenge is actually maintaining good standing with the federal government because over the last 20 years or so they've been racking on more and more income taxes on foreign income, and if you live abroad as a US citizen you're still legally required to pay income tax. Then once expats started renouncing their citizenship because of the rapidly increasing cost of maintaining a citizenship they no longer needed the federal government started throwing more and more barriers up to make it harde and more time consuming to renounce your citizenship
Just claim you are secretly mexican or something, I heard that works quite well.
nO yOu HaVeNt sorry for not including a link that took me three seconds to google, asshole

Europe doesn't use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.

Fun fact: the Big Three US American credit unions have a time horizon of seven years. This is set by law. This fucks me, because all my credit accounts are older than that. But the seven year horizon is good for this guy and folks who have declared bankruptcy.
Because of that time horizon my wife briefly had no credit score at all. She trashed her score at 18 then never tried to touch credit again because "I already know my credit is trash" then it all fell off (and whatever went to collections had already been garnished from her tax returns and whatnot) and she effectively had a clean slate with no credit history
I know a guy who skipped on nearly a million in debt. Moved overseas and we didn't see him for around ten years. Nice guy. I just wouldn't do business with him. His last check to me was good by the way. He called me and told me to cash it before a certain date and I did.
I like how this image smugly pretends like it's above it all when lust and time wasting questions are like 2/5 pillars of the human condition.

Just put your ultra capitalist hat when the time comes to repay them. Tell them its a free market and they took a risk like all for profit ventures, but its not looking good for them and better luck next time. Also nice tits bro, very milk.

It might work that way in the first life but then when you're reborn you're gonna have really poor credit score and that sucks too in its own way.
