What's the smallest amount of money you'd need to get to flee the country?

So imagine this:

you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish

Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

Does this question even make sense in EU? I just walk across the border as usual and get an apartment there.

If someone says "the country" on a global forum, you kinda know which country they're from

LOL

Even more so when someone expresses the idea of fleeing from debt.

I don't think that's entirely correct. For example, there are a "good" amount of people in Germany too that are privatinsolvent.

I like it where I live too, even though obviously not everything is perfect. But if you had a crippling debt that you could never pay off, then moving to another country to lose that debt is appealing.

people in Germany too that are privatinsolvent.

That is somehow the opposite. They get a chance to nullify their debts without the need to flee.

The question is about escaping debt. I think crossing between EU member states is disqualified.

I cringe for the day Lenny is banned in THE COUNTRY. I may even join tik tok after the ban.
