This answer is only based on "hear-say" knowledge, however:

I have heard you can live outside of the US and not claim earnings, only if you spend less than 30 days in the states for that givin year.

This could be totally bogus, I was speaking to a guy who is making a crap load of cash as an independent contractor in Iraq. He was certianly savoring his few days hear, and spending the rest of his time off in Costa Rica.

At least you wont be risking your life in your chosen profession.

My understanding of the 30 day thing could be totally off, so ask a pro before you do something drastic.
