    If you are only trying to escape debt, I'm pretty sure you can just leave and go live somewhere else, provided you can get a visa, find a job, etc.

    Student loans, etc, don't cross borders. You'll still be a U.S. citizen and stuck paying taxes, but there will no way for anyone to nail you for any private obligations, assuming you never go back.

    If you are fleeing from the law, you'd have to pick one of the countries with no extradition to the U.S., mostly Third World or places like Russia and China. Not sure if they will let you in though.

    Alternately, you could just be a bum and go live in the woods in Canada like that guy in the movie.
