You still pay US income taxes while an expat as long as you have your citizenship.

"Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside."

Your best scenario is to work remotely for a US company while living in a low cost of living country.

Misleading.

You are compelled to file taxes in the US. It's quite unlikely that an American living abroad must actually pauy tax on foreign-earned income.

And many countries have a double tax treaty with the US, such as the UK, whereby you end up only paying one load of tax.
