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

It's exceedingly hard to emigrate anywhere legally.

People generally travel and overstay their visas, hoping for the best. It'll be a rough life, though. The question is whether or not it'll be rougher than what you're leaving behind.

Hard to emigrate legally??? I moved to Australia and they're they're thirsty for any kind of graduate diploma for the people wondering about student debt. And many more places to go if you're not a sticker for 1st world, but also many that pay you while you're studying in North Europe.

On a permanent basis, yes, and OP seems to indicate that they're wanting to leave the US permanently. Lots of countries will let people enter on a temporary basis, hence my comment about overstaying one's visa.

if you're not a stickler for 1st world

That's an important distinction.

I covered all basis. Try studying in Sweden, most courses are in English. With a diploma in hands it opens the door for many countries and permanent migration.

scholarship programmes that cover tuition and living costs are available for a number of non-EU countries.
