Be careful, double check that. The US taxes its citizens while abroad. And where you live is where you are tax resident, so depending on taxation agreements you'll maybe be able to submit foreign taxes paid to reduce US tax burden. 90k tax free is too good to be true. I've earned in the US and EU in years that I lived in Germany and in years that I've lived in the US; someone's getting tax money somewhere.
