I already did. I found that it didn't really take that much preparation, especially if you're doing it bit by bit and not in one fell swoop; as in, keep your place as a transition place, not take all your stuff, carry stuff you need as you go back and forth a while. Bureaucratically, it was a little bit of work, but also not overwhelming.
Have to say, I moved from Europe to the global south, which makes this cheaper. But I can basically live on cash if I so choose, no card payments needed, there are bitcoin ATMs close by, and plenty of people who would buy some off of me if I chose to sell it to them (which so far I haven't done, but having the option is somewhat important).
What did it for me was frustration and blind rage that the money I leave here goes half to Ukraine, 1/4 to fund the murder of Gaza and the rest to oppress the very places I now move to, and worse, being surrounded by people who think this is all just great.
