  1. I've noticed that no matter how hard you fight personally for change in politics, you'll always have much more control over your own life. If everyone used their political energy and put it towards growing themselves, we'd all be much better off.

  2. Probably the easiest way to get a diplomatic passport is to give the President a million dollars for his campaign and he'll just make you an ambassador. Simple.

  3. Very niche video today, I'm sure this will help a lot of Indian folks! Good luck on your travels people!

  4. As a not rich nomad capitalist and full time single parent, my flags this year are (1) keep living nomadically to keep costs down while building income streams, (2) avoid Quarantines, lockdowns, etc. That's all I want really.

  5. I remember being taught that America is the greatest country on Earth in the history of the world and everywhere else is bad and dangerous and a waste of time. Then I left the country and learned more about the world in two weeks than my first 20+ years of education. America still has plenty to offer, but the world has caught up in almost every respect and surpassed us in many. Leaving the USA is one of my favorite things to do now.

  6. My daughter is 6. She has gone to school in Barcelona, Hong Kong, Thailand, USA, Colombia, and now currently in Mexico. It's totally possible to do what you want and travel with kids!
    81
  7. I've come to realize that the govt that doesn't impact your life that much compared with how much control each of us has. You have a lot more personal control over your life than your government does. That's just facts.
    78
  8. I always give you a like when you nail the Trump impression 🤣

  9. I went from earning 15-27K per year every year to making 60K this year partly as a result of my choice to live abroad. Obviously, I don't experience the same level of tax benefits you're discussing here. But even at my level, the benefits of a nomadic lifestyle pay off; the reduced cost of living, better climate, and chance to explore new cultures all help me be more productive as a person. Thanks for sharing this insight, I now have the belief that if I can double my income in this manner, surely I can double it and double it again! Cheers for the morning inspiration!

  10. 1) "Keeping up with the joneses" Absolutely, owning a car is a miserable experience and a huge, unnecessary cost. And I also pick the less 'expensive' places to live because they have a more local feel. 2) "thinking small" I only know a few people who make six figures or more. That's why I watch your channel, so I can surround myself with people who think bigger and more globally. 3) "taxes" Even American taxes at my level ($60K in 2019) are a big reason I live outside the US.

  11. As a professional nomad with a laptop, I can promise you that anytime you see a picture of someone working on the beach with their gear, it's a lie. What nomad who relies on their computer wants sand in their keys? No one. It's fake.
    66
  12. As a not wealthy nomad capitalist, I also enjoy these types of places because I can save money and add to my financial cushion while learning how to invest in crypto, stocks, and potentially the larger purchases in real estate around the world. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Andrew.
    61
  13. I've noticed that Ive been much more successful since I've started focusing on myself. I'm not a blazing extrovert so it doesn't bother me that it's a bit lonely. I like working on myself and challenging myself everyday. And yes, I learned this mindset form Robert, as well, through his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It's crazy how precisely the opening chapter nailed how I was raised. I've changed my life by choosing my own success and now I get to travel the world as a single dad with my lovely daughter 😁😁

  14. I hope people realize they don't need to have a giant amount of money to have a FU fund. It depends just as much on your outgo as it does on how much you've piled up. If you can keep your cost of living low by living better worldwide instead of in your home country, it's possible to build a FU fund even on modest wages. As a simple, 5-figure entrepreneur who's relatively new to this, I'm not hurting during the economic downturn because I have my FU fund. And tbh, it's not that much money, but it's enough to survive for a few years without income because I manage my budget through living the nomad life.
    58
  15. This is why everyone thinks you have to be filthy rich to travel lol. I grew up bagging beets on a farm, delivering pizzas, and flipping hamburgers. It is interesting to hear how you've moved from desiring to stay in certain places to understanding it's not a good fit. Self awareness is key to long term travel, way to set the bar high!
    57
  16. While I would also recommend learning the local language (I'm fluent in Spanish and spend most of my time between Barcelona and Latin America), here are three good ways to get by with only English: 1) Google translate app...have it at the ready, people are fine communicating with you via your gadgets 2) Uber...it's available in many countries around the world and you don't have to hail a cab or navigate local transport 3) Be shameless...if your communication skills in the local language are minimal, there are times when you'll have to pantomime, use props, and make silly sounds to get your point across. Be comfortable 'making a fool' of yourself and you'll suffer less anxiety in situations where there is a profound language barrier.
    56
  17. I've been looking at Uruguay. I love that their system affords so much personal freedom, as well. Makes the USA look like a bunch of fascists.
    55
  18. I first went offshore when I had less than $2,000 in the bank. It's possible, and it's helped me build even more! It's smart to have to some money before heading offshore, but I'm proof it doesn't take a lot of money to get started.
    54
  19. After years of being a nomad, I can attest to the fact that, eventually, you get the feeling that you want a "home base" or two or three. Thanks for continuing to show us how to push the development of the nomad lifestyle!
    52
  20. I love Nicaragua! It's greatly underrated. I found awesome secluded places as well as bustling cities with lots to do. I love surfing there and checking out their volcanoes!
    48
  21. That Trump impression was great. LOL "Georgia, it's in Virginia, Bulgaria."
    46
  22. When a product is named one thing but offers something different, that's usually good enough reason to not purchase it.
    44
  23. I can't understand why people with kids think they can't travel either. I literally live this lifestyle to SAVE money because the nomad capitalist lifestyle is LESS expensive than living in the United States. It's also better for my mental health, let's me live in better weather, and I get to meet people from all over the world. It's not that hard to adapt to a better lifestyle, and it just makes sense from a nomad capitalist perspective. The major downsides for kids, however, is the consistent finding and loss of new friends. It's tough on my kiddo, but that's why we're also looking for our first consistent base like Andrew has mentioned in his trifecta lifestyle.
    39
  24. It's so easy to move to other countries, even as a small entrepreneur or freelancer, why would anyone be surprised that the USA is losing its entrepreneurs to other nations?
    38
  25. Money. Freedom. Options. Three great reasons to leave the United States. DO IT!
    36
  26. I really think that the freedom to move around is more important than ever these days. After border closures, quarantines worldwide, and restrictions on movement, the need for a second passport may be undeniable.
    35
  27. THIS WAS AWESOME! You just inspired me to research my family tree and I found out I may be eligible for Canadian citizenship by descent! I'm going to look into it, thanks again for another great video, Andrew! Sidenote: I'm not sure how much this would actually help me as an American. Thoughts?
    35
  28. I've found that safety depends on one's definition. For example, I was in Colombia when the pandemic started and the quarantine there was strict and quickly implemented. It's kept the covid numbers down, but the lifestyle was untenable under the new rules. So, I left to the USA where the covid numbers are out of control, but I'm able to find a safe place to live in the countryside on a lake where my lifestyle is back to normal. So, safety is relative and related to what people are looking for in their lifestyle. You could be safe from covid by living under a dictator, or safe from depression by maintaining your lifestyle during a pandemic. The choice is one's own.
    33
  29. Nomads also have to consider the phone they use for SIM cards. A phone bought in the US, for example, may only work in the US. Internationally unlocked phones with a spectrum of bands are great for frequent travelers. I once bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 in Hong Kong and it worked great there and in Spain, but when I got to the states, I couldn't use it with any carrier.
    31
  30. I put some money into a Mexican bank account a couple of years ago. People might not believe this, but it's still there.
    30
  31. I got my American citizenship for free via birth, it only costs me about 30% in taxes for life. 😂
    29
  32. Dude, there is so much negativity. I literally had someone trying to denigrate me today because my thumbnails aren't up to their standard and because I have videos with just a couple hundred views on them. Does it suck to hear that stuff when I'm learning on my own and creating as I go? Sure, but guess what? That person who was criticizing me doesn't have a channel of their, doesn't make their own content, and stays within the herd where they feel safe. It's always those people who want to criticize instead of take risks of their own. We should all just stay true to ourselves, keep grinding, and the winners will eventually step forth and have no reason to address the haters and naysayers. Thanks for sharing what you went through as a child, Andrew. I remember having to get in scraps in school with douchebags who wanted to make themselves look cool because they could pick on kids smaller than they are. If you didn't get at least a few punches in back then, I'm glad you're crushing it now and hopefully those bullies see what you're doing now and cry themselves to sleep cuddling their food stamps.
    27
  33. I live in Medellin right now, it's great! Speaking Spanish is definitely useful; I started learning when I was 24 and it's been a game-changer. I've made connections that I otherwise couldn't have made without speaking a second language. Side note on the dangers of living in places like Nicaragua, Mexico, and Colombia: 99.9999% of people are just going about their business and not going to put a gun in your face. Travel happy everyone! But also hand over your wallet without arguing if someone puts a gun in your face.
    26
  34. Great list! I would also mention that despite their reputation, I've felt incredibly safe and lived very cheaply in Colombia, Cambodia, and Mexico.
    26
  35. I think minimalism can help for those of use who don't generate huge numbers. I've never made more than 61K in a year, but I have the cash reserves to keep me afloat for several years during down times. This is partly due to living simply, but the nomadic lifestyle has truly helped me save money for these times.
    26
  36. I think this speaks to how people don't need to worry so much and just focus on their own lives. You can freak out over the politics of national decisions, or you can make your own decision to "go where you're treated best."
    25
  37. Gazillionaires have a lot of options. For 5-6 figure entrepreneurs, we have options, as well, but fewer. So, I hope people understand that the nomadic life isn't just for the super rich. 🙌🙏 Travel well, everyone!
    24
  38. I'm a victim of debt risk. I was brainwashed into going to college in America and got crushed. Now, I'm using my nomad strategy to live well worldwide, while reducing my cost living, so I can better pay off my debt while building my brand and growing my business. 🙌
    24
  39. This is so important, and not something I learned until just a few years ago. Thanks for sharing these ideas and continuing to help us all grow financially and personally through travel! 🙌🙌
    23
  40. A few ways I've found to make friends as a nomad include: 1) Joining Facebook groups and connecting with the people in them 2) reaching out to people on IG who tag your area and interests 3) talking to people in parks, bars, attractions, and on the street 4) join a MeetUp 5) dating and friend apps 6) just do what you like to do and connect with the people doing the same!
    23
  41. It's almost like governments could greatly benefit from a better understanding of business. Weird.
    23
  42. It's wild how badly our taxes are mismanaged and abused. It feels gross to pay them sometimes because it's so obvious how corrupt the system is. On the other hand, I'd rather be able to walk down a sidewalk than a mud path, so obviously some taxes are necessary if people don't want to live in squalor. If the gov't actually managed taxes properly and used them to help society, it wouldn't feel so gross to pay them. Instead, I feel like I'm paying a rapacious mafia quarterly dividends.
    23
  43. As a digital nomad, I still get taxed by the USA even though I spend very little time there. Maybe going off-grid will be the only way to avoid taxes in the future? 🤔
    22
  44. It's not just doing business offshore, it's traveling at all. Your environment is a major factor in who you are as a person, and if you haven't traveled, then who you are is highly limited. Your pursuit of new places, languages, ideas, foods and anything else you can find in your travels will ultimately change who you are as a person. It's definitely made me more understanding and a stronger person.
    22
  45. Cambodia isn't just good for investment, it's also a great place to start out as a nomad and open a business, work remotely, or even find a teaching job, for example. Even many low level entrepreneurs have found success there with their easy-to-attain business visas.
    22
  46. The residency in Mexico was quite easy to get, but yes, it does require apostilles and certified forms, interviews, and running back and forth to immigration until you finally get your card 😁 but it's all well worth it to have it
    22
  47. I've been waiting for this story for so long.
    21
  48. It's great to never watch advertising when I come to your channel. Just get to the good stuff 😬🙌 Thanks, Andrew!
    21
  49. Colombia hasn't been hit hard yet, but we're still under quarantine here in Medellín. Waiting it out, thinking about setting up a home base here for future disasters. It's inexpensive, people are remaining calm, and the friendly culture is keeping quarantine relatively joyful.
    21
  50. I've found that, yes, every country is a lot more corrupt than you would think. However, the more you focus on yourself while traveling, the less you will concern yourself the goings-on of corrupt governments. You'll find that their actions are nearly as important to your life as you once thought they were, and you'll see that a lot their misgivings are Kabuki theater designed to remove your focus from yourself. Travel has taught me that I have the power, not some elected, self-serving donkey or elephant.
    21
  51. You make a good point....people don't want to take control of their lives and opt for what is handed to them. It's a lot harder to live intentionally than it is to accept the role and lifestyle America offers you.
    21
  52. I hope to own multiple homes in several countries in the future! For now, I just bought a cool Class B so my daughter and I can travel the Americas during this time of border closures and quarantines. Seems like the best option for now, but looking forward to following this path and owning abroad!!
    20
  53. This is the most useful video I've seen of yours so far and is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you being my unwitting mentor, nomads ftw.
    20
  54. I'm actually quite glad to still have my American passport. When the Quarantines started, I was in Colombia and they kept tightening the screws as time went on. It was good to make it back to the USA. I know a lot of ppl are freaking out over here and protesting or whatever, but even in Michigan, where I'm at for now, the quarantine rules are nothing compared to some other countries.
    19
  55. I've never found getting a visa for travel to be difficult. Some forms and a few dollars and you're generally on your way. Of course, I have an American passport so travel is quite easy. Are you worried at all about countries clamping down on tourism post-covid-19?
    19
  56. I have a tough time answering the question, "where are you from?" What do people mean? Where was I born? Where did I grow up? Where do I live now? It's an interesting question for nomads who live outside of the 'normal' lifestyle. Even simple questions require nuance like this.
    19
  57. I think the news detox is important. They want to scare us. Not that getting sick and dying isn't scary, but media makes money when the population is afraid and glued to what they're saying. Stay strong and stay safe everyone!
    18
  58. I really like Spain's option for freelancers. They have both a non-lucrative visa and a work visa that might work well for someone like me. I prefer the non-lucrative visa option since it's easier to obtain. But, you're right, they can smash you with taxes and bureaucracy, 20% in Spain plus forced payments into social security, etc.
    18
  59. Solid process, Andrew. I like the idea of only having to fly with hand luggage in the future, the faster the processing times these days, the better.
    18
  60. Good stuff, Andrew. I think a major barrier for a lot people is realizing that their home country isn't all it's cracked up to be.
    18
  61. I like your last quote, too: give stuff and see where it goes. Great advice which reinforces the idea that we can build businesses we enjoy and let the returns come instead of monetizing first to force the income stream only to realize we don't enjoy the business later on.
    18
  62. Very interesting. I'm considering the Airbnb option that you mentioned in Medellin...I've really enjoyed my stay here and helping others discover this gem might be a worthwhile pursuit that helps me get residency here!
    17
  63. This TRULY demonstrates the lack of freedom we have as Westerners. We are beholden to our rapacious overlords. Thankfully, nomads like Andrew show us ways to take control of our lives. Loved the concept and format of this video, Andrew!
    17
  64. Your level of self awareness is something I'm striving myself towards. Thanks again for another welcome morning talk!
    17
  65. I think the nomad life in general makes people think that life is somehow vastly different. It's not really, it's just occasionally changing beds, the food you eat, and the languages you speak. 🙏
    17
  66. You're definitely right about Latin countries being easy to get into. I found it really easy to get residence in Mexico and found a simple and cheap investor visa for Colombia.
    17
  67. It took me a day or two opening a bank account in Hong Kong back when I was a teacher there fresh out of college. It took me another day or two to open a bank account in Mexico as a 'temporary resident.' I don't think either permit people on a tourist visa to open an account. I needed proof of residency in both circumstances.
    17
  68. I just escaped Colombia earlier this month. I say escaped because the quarantine down there is mental right now. I wasn't allowed out of the house for more than two days a week and only for groceries, etc, no exercise, even for my daughter. It was wild.
    17
  69. It's an even more unique experience traveling as a single parent. I've found that some places are VERY welcoming to solo parent families! I like your philosophy of "holding together over the years." 🙌
    16
  70. My mom is an American born to Canadian parents. But she never got her Canadian citizenship in time before they changed the citizenship by descent rules. Too bad for me. But it's a solid warning for anyone who has a chance now at a citizenship they may want it later.
    16
  71. I love Thailand. But it definitely doesn't want people staying there willy-nilly. It's great for short term stays though. And Colombian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Philippina girls are the best, imho.
    16
  72. I'm surprised at all these corporations and businesses that need bailouts anyway. How can a business be so profitable but flop in two weeks and need massive handouts? It's shocking. I'm a freelance writer and managed to save enough money over a year to protect me for the next 3 should this recession continue. How is it possible that I can do that but multibillion dollar companies can't? I have a feeling that even if they improve their taxes, some of these business leaders are just dolts. They deserve to fail and lose their businesses.
    16
  73. I grew up enjoying doing those door-to-door magazine sales as a kid. That business mind was crushed over the years by school and parents. Then I grew up, graduated school and went into teaching. I was miserable. It wasn't until I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad that I realized it's okay to sell and make money and want to be successful in business. So, I built a successful freelance writing career. Now, I'm looking into how to make my own products and make more money. It's great to follow you and listen your mind work because many Americans like me spent the first 30 years of our lives surrounded by "The American Dream." Thankfully, I've woken up. Cheers, Andrew. 🙏
    15
  74. It costs taxes, mental health, constant tensions, and having to submit to corporate overlords. Oh wait, that's the cost for people living in America. 🙌😁💯
    15
  75. I'm not saying that divorce works for every nomad, but it worked for me.
    15
  76. Really nailed it with this video. Being a nomad is an evolving process, and there are heaps of stereotypes surrounding the people who live it. I've been at it for about six years as a single dad and my daughter has lived all over the world with me. I like to spend 3-6 months, in one place to get a really good feel for it before moving on, and then I can always make my way back to the places I enjoy if I choose before setting out again. When people ask, can you be a nomad indefinitely, I can only respond by assuring them I have difficulty staying in one place for too long.
    15
  77. This is a question I'm asking myself now. I'm a small YouTuber, author, and marketing consultant but I'm tired of the USA keeping its strings attached to me when I'm not even living there.
    14
  78. Wow. I like my tea. But I didn't realize one could build a life around tea!
    14
  79. Get paid. If you can make double, do it. I took a job in Vietnam that paid 3x what I was getting paid in the USA. I didn't worry about anything political going on in the country, just made my money and moved on when it was time. You can do the same thing with a job in the USA, make your money and move on 🙏
    14
  80. I originally got married so my ex-wife would get a green card to the USA and we could raise our daughter there, but we ended up separating right before it got approved. Now, my daughter and I are free to be nomads together, but she can't get a Chinese passport even though her mom is Chinese because I have full custody of her. One thing Andrew mentioned that is VERY real: it's hard to date long-term as a nomad in many parts of the world.
    14
  81. I grew up as a Lions fan. I remember having that attachment to sports before I realized how useless it was. Now that I'm learning to apply that same concept to nationalities, I've felt much better about how the world is operating. I can see the Lions lose all the time because I don't care anymore, seeing what happens in governments gives me the same sense of disconnection now. At least, it's waning.
    14
  82. I don't need a car at all. This is one of the best parts of being a nomad. 🙌
    14
  83. I still hear Americans who question why I would continue to rent instead of putting myself in debt for a property that may not return any profit. Most people just don't understand that there is risk in real estate and people like me, who don't have the cash flow to engage with that much risk, might prefer to invest in ourselves and our businesses instead of a piece of land or building. I'm not going to buy a home until I can pay cash and have enough left over for a serious cushion. Until then, the nomad life helps me save money while I invest in my own personal growth. 🙌
    14
  84. I used to have a lot of misconceptions about travel from growing up in the Midwest. Now I reap the rewards of travel every day. But it does require heaps of thought and is an emotional journey to leave the US. I'm not sure I'm ready to renounce citizenship yet, but it's very personal decision to everyone. Maybe one day I'll have enough reasons to give it up entirely. The fact that my taxes go to bombing children hurts, that's for sure. But I also hold out hope that things will change in the US. I know you think it's a waste of time to wait on politics to improve, but I guess I still have that idealism. But now that it's easier to be a nomad and countries are competing on what they offer location independent people, the reasons are building up. Thank you for clarifying what you mean by Tier A, B, and C passports, as well.
    14
  85. I like Hong Kong not just for tax purposes, but it's a really cool place to live. It's a big city with all the amenities, but lots of people overlook the easy access to nature. There are TONS of cool beaches, laid-back islands, and hikes through mountains and jungles are located within Hong Kong. Such a cool place with some of the best food in the world all located in one place.
    13
  86.  @Re3iRtH  but how would education and health not be included in safety and security? With an unintelligible, sick population, there is no safety nor security.
    13
  87. Andrew goes beast mode. I think you're right. I don't hate America, I'm just not blind to its many failures and shortcomings. I like living in America and I like living in other places. Being critical of American policy and ideals doesn't mean we hate the place, it means we believe it could be better having seen how other places arent as scary as many Americans are making them out to be.
    13
  88. Love the addition of the timestamps in the description box. Very useful.
    13
  89. Whenever I travel, I make sure I have an extra bedroom so my American Nanny (taxes, regulations, and rules) have a place to live since they stay with me anyway.
    13
  90. My daughter was born in HK, which means she could sponsor me there once she turns 18 😁 so that will be easy in the future
    13
  91. I could apply to this my own life by first finding a small place in Michigan near my family for my the summers, then perhaps a base in Medellín and Barcelona. I still have a lot of places I want to see though, especially in Asia and Eastern Europe. How long did you travel for before you choose a place as a base?
    13
  92. My daughter is 8 and working on her third language. All we've had to do is just live in places where English isn't spoken full-time. No tips, no tricks, just let her play with kids who don't speak English.
    13
  93. I started my first LLC late last year, even at that level, it didn't make sense to open a business in CA because the filing and yearly fees and exponentially higher than in other parts of the country. Crazy. Is the weather that good in San Diego?
    13
  94. I've never been to Germany, bit it might be worth living there just for happy culture from what I hear!
    13
  95. This is genius.
    13
  96. Daaaaamn, taking a stab at Gary V 🤣🤣 Andrew must not know how vitriolic his followers will be if they find this, good luck man 🙏
    12
  97. Not a bad looking place! I just shot a video this morning where I was talking about Cambodian real estate prices a little bit. There are some amazing deals there, thanks for sharing your experience!
    12
  98. I feel like I have so little to worry about. I feel blessed to have enough in savings to survive a prolonged storm while also being able to surround myself with the people who have the long-term mindset. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
    12
  99. I was able to keep my daughter in school as a nomad through kindergarten, after that, it became impossible and unreasonable to enroll her in a new primary school in each location. So, we've started worldschooling and will continue this method for the foreseeable future.
    12
  100. I'm on board with this, I expect my daughter to learn to earn, as well. 🙌🙌
    12
  101. It's wild that the USA gets to take taxes on worldwide real estate income like this. It's like they're taking credit for something that has nothing to do with them.
    12
  102. 1:16 in one word: no.
    12
  103. I think Colombia is 180 out of a year, that's partly why I love it so much, they give you lots of time to stay and can easily renew the 90 days online without having to do a border hop!
    12
  104. My daughter currently has an American passport and she will be eligible for a Chinese passport when she turns 18. I think I will leave any decisions about her status up to her, though.

  105. This is great advice for people with strong businesses! But even people who make less than 100K/year could take some pieces of advice here, such as, moving to a place that treats you better in taxes could save you at least 20K/year. That might not sound like much to some viewers who make millions, but for the average Joe, travel offers just as many financial benefits 😊🙏
    12
  106. I used to think politics was something the people had a bit of control over. 😂
    12
  107. After spending some time in Cambodia, I also found some pretty good deals in Facebook groups for regional or local real estate...could be a good place to start for people who don't speak Khmer but don't want to get robbed by a real estate agent. 🙌
    12
  108.  @rodinjohnson8233  not as good as you
    12
  109. It was great when it jumped $50,000. But then it crashed. I'm still looking at $60,000 again by the end of the year, though. It keeps surviving things like China's crackdown, risks of regulation, and will recover from El Salvadors sloppy roll out, I believe.
    11
  110. Is it even legal to get paid a commission on a product like this without mentioning it's the case? That seems super shady.
    11
  111. This is my favorite video of yours that I've seen. I wish I would've seen this video when I was 9. I had my entrepreneurial spirit squeezed out of me by the American education system. Now, there are so many opportunities worldwide that I was able to find my spirit again as an adult. Great time to grow, travel, and learn for people who think they're stuck on a one track road. 🙏
    11
  112. I feel like the "success tax" is an idea that can manifest in every area of life. You want to be fit? Gotta pay the success tax of exercise and diet. Want to be cultured? Gotta pay the success tax of reading and learning.
    11
  113. Very cool dynamic between you two. Mine is the opposite with my dad. Now that I'm a nomad, I'm always encouraging him to go where he's treated best! 🙌
    11
  114. I wish businesses would've fired me a long time ago. I delivered pizzas, flipped burgers, moved golf carts, coached basketball, and taught english...not once did anyone fire me. But I was never happy. Now that I run my own business, I'm much happier and might have found my way here earlier had I been fired from one of those jobs. Losing a job is all about perspective. It can be tough to lose income, but the freedom to make a choice for yourself is lovely.
    11
  115. I like my American passport because it get lots of visa free stays across the world. But it would be nice to have second one, maybe for unlimited time in the schengen countries...
    11
  116. I'm in Colombia now and have flights to Ecuador in May. Since they've closed their borders, I'm not going to panic, but wait a few months to see if they open up again. If they don't, then I'll use the opportunity to change my flights to somewhere that is open. If the whole world is closed down, I'll apply for residency within Colombia to wait things out. Going back to the USA would be a bad idea, getting quarantined at the border would cost thousands and thousands of dollars.
    11
  117. Great take on Spain. I do love the language and culture there, though. It's one of my favorite places to visit.
    11
  118. I'm looking forward to building a passport profile. Should I find somewhere I enjoy living as a priority or somewhere for tax purposes?
    10
  119. "trying a place on" is key to knowing if it will last or if you'll want to move. And there's nothing wrong with changing locations if you've found that your location no longer serves you. I gained residency in Mexico earlier this year, but then I moved to Colombia because I found it suited me better. No worries, and now I'm enjoying myself even more.
    10
  120.  @Re3iRtH  and also, I'd be careful about preaching about morals, usually only immoral people preach about how moral their point of view is.
    10
  121.  @irfannadeem9664  I'd say within 4 months I was having 50/50 English/Spanish conversations with people and then within 6-8 months speaking it fluently. But I'm still learning, too. And I was immersed in the language including staying with a local family and taking classes for the first 4 months. It's like exercising a muscle, it takes time to build it up but one day there it is!
    10
  122. A key thing mentioned here is that it's good to have placed that you can live where they can't tell you to leave. 🙌🙌
    10
  123. My apocalypse insurance is my ability to read, study, learn, and apply my newfound knowledge and skills to produce a quality lifestyle. There is no better way to insure yourself than to focus on your own growth!
    10
  124. This is why I advocate for people to live better worldwide. I left the USA for the big reason that it's really hard to save money there. Since I have student debt, I use my low-cost, full-time travel to help me pay them back while I live a life I love! In other words, the USA is robbing it's citizens and keeping them in poverty on purpose.
    10
  125. $250,000 for a quick option into St. Lucia? Sounds like a pretty smart investment for people who want to move quickly and have the capital to do so as long as the opportunity cost doesn't upset the balance.
    10
  126. Some really good lessons in this for me. I'm in a position to make my first property purchase but as a nomad, I love the flexibility. However, the options and distractions require a level of self-awareness that I'm still working on. Thanks for this video; it came at a good time for me!
    10
  127. Was that a Bernie impression? 😂
    10
  128. I don't think I've heard you mention this yet, but how frequently have you been flying this year? Has the trifecta approach paid off during border closures and helped you remain mobile, or have you been hunkering down? I was in Colombia when the quarantine started but it was too strict and I came back to USA in April. I have residency in Mexico so I might head back there for winter.
    9
  129. Citizenship by descent...the way America builds its tax base.
    9
  130. It's gotta be a routine without excuses. That's why I'm a full time single parent nomad, 33 years old, benching 200 pounds, and have a six pack even tho my daughter and I eat cookies and pizza. Aaaahhh the good life 😁
    9
  131. I had my best financial year, too. Thanks for helping the community learn from your experiences!
    9
  132. Hong Kong is fine, it's a second home for me and where my daughter was born. You nailed it, Hong Kong has an image problem more than anything else. It's still a safe, lovely place.
    9
  133. I went into a McDonalds in Vietnam. It's gross. Even in the D1 backpacker district they serve your meal with nasty, soggy rice instead of French fries. It's a crime against Americans abroad thinking they're about to get some world-class grease potatoes.
    9
  134. As a single dad, I'm currently trying to find us a few 'home bases.' Hong Kong has been one since my daughter was born because she is half Chinese. But it's not a great place to visit currently because half of the public transport is shut down. Spain is a good option for three months, Thailand is a quality place in Asia that has good Wifi, I'm headed to Medellin in a few weeks to see what it's like there.
    9
  135. This gives me ideas for 5-10 years from now, thanks for more morning inspiration!
    9
  136. Do you foresee a time in the future when Africa will be more on your radar?
    9
  137.  @kikinyte6806  I'm sure there will be. But I hope things return to normalcy pretty soon. All these restrictions on movement are super annoying.
    9
  138. Sweet play button! Nice job, Andrew!
    9
  139. Interesting stuff. I've never felt too emotional about traveling full-time and living the nomadic lifestyle, but I've yet to 'divorce' America, as well. It definitely helps to have that support network outside of the USA and make friends in other countries. Do you ever visit America and talk to Americans you dont know about this decision? I wonder what they would say in person?
    9
  140. It's interesting how freedom and responsibility are inextricably linked. When I started taking personal responsibility for my life, I started making more money and traveling how and when I wanted to travel. When I was placing my woes on externalities, I remained broke and unhappy. Andrew nailed the moral of the story: your freedom IS your responsibility.
    9
  141. I don't think there is a nomad on Earth that can fear panic over a virus like this. Its antithetical to our lifestyles. Congrats on filling the VIP section! And yeah, after living in HK for years, ive seen people who use the facemask, it seems, as a type of style.
    9
  142. I never really thought about giving up my American citizenship until I started traveling and realized that our tax system is like a parasite compared to the rest of the world. Thanks for always sharing how to rid ourselves of our tax parasites, Andrew!
    9
  143. I can testify that having family in USA is a big reason I have trouble letting go. But, I've been seeing the many advantages of living nomadically as the years have gone on. And guess what? We can always return home to visit family whenever we need to nourish that aspect of ourselves.
    9
  144. I have a bank account in Mexico that I opened through a temporary residency permit. As long as I report it, it's legal, as Andrew points out.
    8
  145. More sound advice, thanks Andrew!
    8
  146. I guess my evil plan won't work. Actually, just leaving the United States significantly reduces my cost of living. That's a benefit, even if I can't change my tax status quite yet. 🙏
    8
  147. Thanks for sharing this, Andrew! Definitely isn't cheap to get that second passport there, but it may be better than paying American taxes over any extended period of time.
    8
  148. More good advice. I'll always remember to avoid the 'value traps.' Where did you buy your mediocre property at?
    8
  149. I'm in Colombia now and the exchange on the COP is insane. It's like living for free. On more serious note, I hope people are keeping themselves healthy with diving into the panic!
    8
  150. Even my daughter, who was born in Hong Kong and is half Chinese, only has permanent residency in Hong Kong. Not easy to get in there, but there nice places to live outside the city center if people don't want to get congested on the island.
    8
  151. These are all great points. I also put value on visa-free travel as a nomad because without having to pay for visas and go through the processes of interviews and applications, it makes it much easier both in terms of time and capital to move from one place to the next. In other words, having visa-free entry into many countries, in my mind, is worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars every year.
    8
  152. I can't afford to 'buy' another passport yet, and I also don't like staying in one place long enough to get a residency-based passport anywhere else. The nomad life has been serving me well, but I like your approach to how you think about it financially. Throwing around money isn't in my bones either, so I really enjoy following your content and getting your insight into the tactics and strategies that you employ at your level. Thanks, Andrew!
    8
  153. I appreciate the wisdom here. There's no telling what countries and the geopolitical environment will look like in 30 years. Being stuck with one passport could be a severe liability.
    7
  154. Great advice all around. Sadly, people are often very poor judges. And we all like to think that our governments are actually trying to take of their people, which is poor judgment number one.
    7
  155. How are you moving around during these times? Seems like most places have closed borders, etc...
    7
  156. Your place looks nice! I heard from some contacts down in Colombia about everything shutting down. I'm headed to Medellín in a few days!
    7
  157. Enjoying the higher quality production in this video. The extra time put into it makes it more engaging. Solid advice, too. 🙏
    7
  158.  @margyiphillips4931  too true!
    7
  159. Interesting stuff. It seems it pays to be patient and diversified. Its always good to hear nomads sharing measure experiences because too often people think we're constantly drinking on the beach. The truth is that being a nomad requires work, fortitude, and perseverance.
    7
  160.  @amir5593  second best day of my life! 😅🙃
    7
  161. This is great advice for anyone aspiring to travel the world. It's a lifestyle choice that brings plenty of rewards but it's not free from challenges and it's not the constant joy and relaxation you see in many travel videos. 🙏
    7
  162. Our corporate government really rips us off as much as it can.
    7
  163.  @Re3iRtH  I've already read that book. And you judging something as immoral or moral means you are placing your point of view on a pedestal when there isn't a single human alive who has that authority. Btw, my poetry gets published in major magazines and I read all the time. And I don't read a single blog. I'll keep waiting for you to find a country that ignores the health and education of its people but is still considered a safe and secure nation...if you can come up with a solid example, your argument that "health and education aren't a part of safety and security" might start to make sense.
    7
  164.  @drydessert4198  I do something similar. I separate my stuff as I walk around. I keep phone, wallet, and credit card all separate so if someone does rob me, they likely won't get all three. Maybe they'll get two of three but that's better than all of them. I also work out 5-6 days a week so having strong arms and being 6'1" keeps people from thinking I'm a target I think. And lastly I don't flash anything. No watch or jewelry, keep my electronics put away, etc. I don't "dar papaya" as the Colombians say, which basically means don't make yourself an easy target for thieves.
    7
  165. I like to live outside of the states simply for the reduced cost of living without sacrificing on comfort or commodities.
    7
  166. It is tough being apart from family, but encouraging our kids to do what's best for them in everything is key to them growing into self actualized adults. 🙏
    7
  167.  @MiaogisTeas  so I wouldn't confuse too many people, I didn't point out it's a Hong Kong passport. It can be held with other passports and would make it easier for my daughter to visit her great grandparents in Beijing.
    7
  168. Big congrats! Now go for gold!!!
    7
  169. How would you recommend someone make their first home purchase? Should it be a personal home somewhere they want to live, or an investment property to generate income until they can buy their lifestyle home? I feel trapped between in 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' dichotomy when thinking about this issue...
    7
  170. I think this is good advice even for 5-figure nomad capitalists like myself. It gives me pause to better plan for my tax future as I grow my business and income. 🙌
    7
  171. People might be surprised to hear: even banks possess prejudice when traveling around the world. 🙌
    7
  172. To answer your question at the end: I'm currently spending 3-6 months in each location as I travel and find what will work for me long term. I'm truly enjoying Medellin, but I've also found that I loved spending time in Barcelona and the islands of Thailand. I'm currently looking for a first "home base", and one of those locations might be ideal. However, I also realize that I might need a few more years of the nomadic lifestyle before I've seen everything I've wanted to see. So, I'm giving myself the time to explore while I find which first "home base" is truly right for me.
    7
  173. I've always felt very safe in Asia
    7
  174.  @msnpassjan2004  you didn't catch the reference because he didn't mention politics tho...he just makes a funny Trump impression when he humble brags
    6
  175. I also just wouldn't want to live in Panama. It's okay, there are some nice places to live there, but if people are looking to settle down somewhere. There are better locations in Latin America, for sure. 🙌
    6
  176.  @lextor4712  the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion lets expats deduct the first $105,900 for the 2019 tax year, for example 🙌
    6
  177.  @eliseumds  I didn't get it myself, I just did a lot of research into it because I love Barcelona. I think there are good options out there, but as Andrew pointed out, the taxes and bureaucracy, etc led me towards a different route for now. It might be something I reapproach in the future. That being said, it seems pretty straightforward if you contact the Spanish embassy near you they will explain. I didn't see much need for an agency or a lawyer when I was researching it, but they could save time for sure.
    6
  178. When everyone wants to leave their home, demand rises. It's no surprise. When do you think every country on Earth will make it difficult to get citizenship?
    6
  179. You're right, the capital cities in central and South America often have weird vibes. What I do to stay safe from these gun point situations is carry a dummy wallet with a few bucks and some useless cards stuff in it...I also carry a second phone that can only be used on straighttalk in the usa. If someone ever jumps me with a gun, I'll gladly hand them both
    6
  180.  @Re3iRtH  can you point to one nation that is safe and secure but which is also uneducated and has a sick population?
    6
  181. Thanks for the tips on how nomads like is can save and grow our money with a solid passport plan! I think it's also a good idea just in case the world changes and our home countries fall into disarray.
    6
  182. I really appreciate these videos because I've moved into working for myself over the past few years while I travel and I didn't realize I was getting robbed so much. Now I'm on a better path and making better plans as I live better worldwide. Thanks for setting the bar so high, Andrew!
    6
  183. I've never felt weird about being American, but it does come with some stereotypes when traveling. People ask you about politics a lot, and sports. It's pretty superficial stuff mostly.
    6
  184. Yes, but not for most people who want to work through the traditional methods. If you're a freelancer and nomad like me, there's a ton of opportunity to do well in the USA. I just choose to live outside of the USA a lot of the time for the better lifestyle at a lower cost.
    6
  185. They are brands. They even have tag lines and marketing. I ignore it because it's never what you actually experience once you get there.
    6
  186. @brian' I believe it. I was looking at rental prices there and they look almost double in Monetevideo as compared to Medellin, Colombia, for example.
    6
  187.  @dlukton  very interesting! I'm a nomad with American citizenship so I'm still at a point where I get taxed by USA, but that makes me want to get residency in Uruguay even more! 🙌🙌🙌
    6
  188. Ego can help us stay focused on goals but it can also lead us to overleveraging on things that don't make us happy.
    6
  189. That's wild that that firm didn't understand the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. I've understood that from the first day I started traveling and working internationally. And I'm just a lame YouTuber.
    6
  190. Interesting. This is like picking draft picks for countries that might improve later on. Is Serbia the sixth round sleeper that will show up big in the future?
    6
  191. I like the idea of planning for the test of time. It's too easy to get trapped into something quick and easy while not surveying the consequences in 20 years. I like your idea of buying the best where you're treated best to create the best legacy possible. 🙏
    6
  192. Watching your channel, I've been thinking a lot about second passports for people who make less than six figures. Your "GWYTB" strategy could apply at any level, really. Anyone here used this strategy on a sub-$100K income?
    6
  193.  @rubensnogueira3199  Okay, cool. Us Americans get raked over the coals with taxes. That's why I like watching this channel, Andrew gives me lots of ideas!
    6
  194. It's interesting how people are so confident in their own nation, which is often more likely to rob them, than anywhere else. The lessened risk in foreign markets is an open secret many people choose to ignore.
    6
  195. What do you think are the best places to make a real estate invesment for residency for less than $50,000?
    6
  196. Very interesting take. I also feel a sense of disconnect from the political structure that gives me more peace. The general sense of stress and "being stuck in a bad relationship" is too true when living in the USA. 🙏🙏
    6
  197. It's interesting how one could balance out their freedoms and travels by holding multiple passports. Who knows what USA will like like in 20 years, might NEED a new passport by that time.
    6
  198. I love Colombia for so many reasons. I'm looking for something to invest in here. But, yes, in Medellin 😁🙏
    6
  199.  @msnpassjan2004  but he discusses politics at length in other videos...mostly how he's glad he doesn't have to take ownership over it and the mess governments cause fighting internally
    5
  200.  @msnpassjan2004  🙏🙏 I tend to avoid politics too..but I appreciate good humor 😁
    5
  201. Interesting. I haven't had to do this yet. I wonder if, in the future, every country will do this?
    5
  202. I just posted a video today about traveling for the first time as a parent...that was a HELL YES!
    5
  203. How come we can't know the name and face of the perp?
    5
  204. I've seen some really cool deals on properties in Cambodia for people who are looking to move there as a lifestyle choice. Hard not to jump on them myself!
    5
  205. I used to use only Apple products. As a nomad, it's a big hassle. I have moved away from them entirely, but I do really like their newest MacBook pros. Those might bring me back in.
    5
  206. Gobbling up this video just for the title!!! Got me haha
    5
  207. Do you get a lot of people putting words in your mouth like this? I don't even have 1000 subs yet and I already notice it happening to me.
    5
  208. Smash out the circular arch, that was designed for short people. That is a nice view, though. The big windows are key for natural light. Something I love about Colombia is that the big cities have lots of green spaces.
    5
  209. This is interesting. I like Airbnb for long-term stays in many places. Hotels I enjoy for a night or two as I change locations and get comfortable during the transition days. My favorite method to find accommodations is to speak with locals and find something most foreigners would never find. But I see why this wouldn't be very useful for 7 or 8 figure entrepreneurs 😁🙌
    5
  210. I'm passing this same advice on to my parents. 😅🙌
    5
  211.  Keep Rocking!  Have you never sought advice from someone who's more experienced than you in a particular industry? It's actually a pretty good idea to do so.
    5
  212.  @DeclinedMercy  Very true, I've spent years traveling, never having one solid home, as a means of saving money. Now, I still love travel but I also have some enough cash saved up to make a purchase. I've just never made a big investment before because I never had money before haha.
    5
  213.  Keep Rocking!  No, it's really not, I'm asking his perspective from a financial viewpoint, and he's much more experienced than me in that realm.
    5
  214.  @russells9590  that's a good response, but it also confuses so many people 😁
    5
  215.  @hanoitripper1809  yeah some people just don't understand that there are people who can't call just one place home 🥴
    5
  216. I'm down here in Medellin and have moved out to the countryside during this time. Hunkering down and waiting this out seems to be the best option for people like me who have asthma.
    5
  217. We should all start calling him Anderson 😂
    5
  218. How much personal wealth should one have before considering this option?
    5
  219. I'm glad Colombia has changed its tune. I was there when the lockdowns started it was zero fun. Now, it seems good, again.
    5
  220. I hear people saying that we should raise taxes, etc., but Im not sure it will happen in the USA. If anything it's gone in the opposite direction and the wealthy are paying less than what they would have during most times post WWII. I suppose it's possible it could change, but are Schumer and Pelosi and McConnell really going to raise taxes on themselves, their donors, and friends? We'll see, but I don't remember them doing it before.
    5
  221.  @lextor4712  she said "yes, we're like foxes. If foxes can move then so can we, because foxes are one of my favorite animals."
    5
  222. "Not small numbers" Well, it's not a citizenship program for me lol
    5
  223. This relates a lot to the idea of thinking everything is always permanent. A nomad life doesn't mean you HAVE to get residency or citizenship any particular place nor that you have to move to one area and keep yourself there. Thanks for helping to clarify how nomads live these days!
    5
  224.  @AussieMoneyMan  😅😅
    4
  225. As long as you do it right, you probably won't lose your citizenship. But governments do have ultimate control at the end of the day. Thanks for the info, Andrew!
    4
  226.  @H0A0B123  in reality, she educates me. But she's gone to private school in Thailand, public school in Hong Kong, a Montessori school in Mexico, and now we're homeschooling. 🙏🙏
    4
  227. He always imitates Trump lol
    4
  228. This is great news Andrew! Well done! I love learning from you. As for the scarcity and dealing with quarantines, it's wild to experience it here in Colombia. People are calm, but police are everywhere and making sure people are following the rules. I'm still trying to figure out what my safe haven will be...maybe a small home in the USA or a nice travel van, I'm not sure yet.
    4
  229. I still very much respect Hong Kong. As an American, I know many of us would fear trusting China, but I guess since my daughter was born in HK and I've always been treated well there, I trust them. However, the situation is fluid there and I probably am particularly biased toward them.
    4
  230. I love how you take the common wisdom and so casually dismantle it. Thanks for more great advice!
    4
  231. When you say it's a good time to move money into a different currency, what do you mean exactly? Should I send $15,000USD to my account in Mexico and then wait to send it back to USD when the MXN goes back below 20 to make $3,000-$4,000 on the rate difference? Is that how it works? I don't know anyone who does this so maybe you can give me a little guidance on how to proceed here with your currency change tactics...
    4
  232.  @MMAAPE  exactly...staying focused on building skills and continuing to grow is what negative nancys like to criticize...maybe they are ashamed on their own inadequacies? Or maybe they're just bored and want to rile people up? I dunno, just part of a slog to push through I guess. And I've seen that once you've created enough and have a decent following, followers will shut down haters quicker than you haha...hoping to get there one day on YoutTube 😬
    4
  233. Interesting stuff...so how does one go about deciding on just where to start their international trades? Up to preference I suppose?
    4
  234.  @amir5593  thanks Amir
    4
  235. Great advice! I'm just starting to look into investing and love the idea of investing in places where people have never even heard of. 🙌🙌 I'm living in Medellin, Colombia and your analysis is spot on.
    4
  236. I hit the gym 6 days a week with my 6 year old by my side...my best advice: you have to do it every day for six months until exercise is imprinted into your routine 🙌 good luck on getting back into it 🙏

  237.  @Re3iRtH  not a bad set up! Where are you living? Do you have a property manager in the states handling all that for you?

  238.  @momentumstocks3493  I'm a freelance writer primarily but I'm continuously learning about new ways to provide value to derive income from it. ✌✌

  239.  @adam3504  I hear you! I might settle in one spot at some time at which point I'd want a Harley Davidson to rumble around in. 😎😁 I just don't like the idea that a car is basically mandatory in the USA to survive. I'm in Medellín now and can walk around, take public transport, or catch an uber easily. None of those are options where I'm from in the USA, so that why I said that about cars. I'd be keen to have a '71 Barracuda in my garage, but as a luxury, not a necessity.

  240. Nice orchids! Those are some beautiful looking places, thanks for sharing! How do you find fitting into the Turkish culture as a Westerner?
    4
  241. And that can change, so stay mobile nomadic friends 🙌
    4
  242. Every nomad needs to remind themselves why they left. It helps me get past an obstacles I face on the road.
    4
  243. I'd still like to get my first, second passport, but I'm not sure where I'd like to get it. As I continue my search, I look forward to hearing more about this!
    4
  244.  @amir5593  I have a long way to go my friend 🙏 early in the process over here cuz I got started late 😅😅
    4
  245. I'm a full time single dad and my daughter and I are nomads. It's possible for anyone, imho.
    4
  246. I'm stuck in Colombia right now and not worrying too much about it. I'm just happy to have a cash position that lets me ride out this crash while also preparing for the future. Seems like a good time to reassess and do find something that I enjoy even more in this down time. 🙏
    4
  247. Unintended consequence or purposeful design?
    4
  248.  @himpoet  yeah, as an American, Mexico isn't the place that's going to save me money on taxes, but its a good residency option that's close to home. If you haven't spent time in Nicaragua, i highly recommend it. Andrew mentioned San Juan del Sur and it's a really cool place, small town feel but lots of restaurants and a gorgeous beach with easy excursions to places like Ometepe and more secluded beaches for surfing. It's got all of that Costa Rica vibe without the overpriced landscape and horde of tourists.
    4
  249. He's mentioned in previous videos that he doesn't like it geographically.
    4
  250.  @shotelco  very well said and so interesting. Thank you for diving in deep there, I can't wait to see how it turns out for my little one as well. 🙏🙏
    4
  251.  @aidannewton  I hear you, and agree the networking skills are important. My 8 year old is fluent in two and working on her third language and that's a lifelong networking skill most American adults haven't accomplished. It's the regular loss of friends that brings it full circle for her. At least that's what she tells me and I respect that. It's just difficult to intellectualize the importance of networking to a child who's crying that they haven't seen their best friend in so long.
    4
  252.  @user-qb2vf8je5c  I hear you! But thanks, I jumped a few years ago it's going pretty well 😊🙌 Not to intrude, but if it's what you want I recommend you get after it. I wasn't ready when I went for it, but it's turned out alright. 🙏 Let me know if you ever have any questions about the journey.
    4
  253. Hahahaha champion
    3
  254. Who shot your video intro for you? I think I need to get something like that.
    3
  255. @brian' I'm in the process of deciding where to get one...want to find someone I love to live first. In Colombia now and really enjoying Medellin 🙏 how about you?
    3
  256.  @amir5593  True might also depend on how badly you want to live in a certain location.
    3
  257. Are you set on homeschooling? There are always options for schooling in other countries. I've found it's a good way for my daughter to learn other languages.
    3
  258. Having multiple debit cards helps; one for each bank account in your "home bases". If I lose my primary debit card while traveling, I have my bank in the USA send my new card and pin to my dad's house and he sends them to me. I can use one of my secondary debit cards while traveling in the meantime. It helps to have help, and multiple bank accounts around the world.
    3
  259. I like the point that you can put in the 44k upfront to get a yield by eliminating the yearly cost. That's the mind of a seasoned nomad.
    3
  260.  @amir5593  when teaching, I used the Foreign Earned income Exclusion to not pay taxes in the USA while teaching in HK 🙏
    3
  261. I could have had a second citizenship through descent via Canada, but my mom never got hers when she had the chance as a young American born to Canadian parents. Oh well, I guess in her time she wasn't even considering leaving the country, ever, lol.
    3
  262. Money makes it easy to move and change residency. That's why I try to help people make money while they travel! Get a taste of the life before settling down somewhere 🙌🙌🙌
    3
  263.  @eliseumds  Got ya, best of luck on your search!
    3
  264. I've never bought real estate before, but I'm in a position where I could purchase a first home. So, you nailed it, I have these natural fears of jumping in head first. This is a very emotional move to make the first time around.
    3
  265.  @raycaruso8026  only if you watch too much TV...avoiding protests in Hong Kong is as easy as walking around the corner of the next block
    3
  266.  @Phil_br  Well, lots of places are in China, so not sure why that would be a problem. But it's not too expensive to live if you find a place with decent rent. Food is cheap, transportation is inexpensive, healthcare is high-quality without exorbitant costs. At least that's what I've found there.
    3
  267. Awesome! Those are some awesome returns. Looking forward to learning more from you about how to diversify worldwide, thanks Andrew!
    3
  268.  @chrislanejones  I like ginger and lemon tea in the morning, chamomile in the evening. How about you?
    3
  269.  @Re3iRtH  I have at least one video on my channel about the journey and I've been video journaling the past couple of weeks. I'll make one with more of an explanation if you think that would be useful?
    3
  270. An hour early this morning? What's going on here 😁😁
    3
  271.  @sheldonconk9526  Nice to meet you, and thanks, I appreciate it!
    3
  272.  @marcusberglund9105  a poor attempt at racist humor
    3
  273.  @charlesberkeley6429  the summer camp industry, an 8 week gig 🙏
    3
  274.  @jimmyochiryna401  good choice, I also like the stealth razer
    3
  275.  @shotelco  thanks the detailed explanation, that makes a lot of sense! Did you move your business to Morocco for that status or are you from there?
    3
  276. Too true! Any teacher in the USA would be behooved not to move abroad and make twice as much money in a more comfortable job with actual support and enough money for classroom pencils and books 🙌
    3
  277.  @drop_messages6226  exactly. I grew up groomed for education. Then I got into it and realized in the first couple years that I needed to move on. It's wild that teachers need to buy supplies to their students out of their own pockets.
    3
  278. I remember not knowing what kind of job I would like to get to when I was in school. I remember speaking with them and taking the test for potential job placements that might suit my personality. I don't remember anyway that would have been possible to take that test that the final recommendation would have been "follow your own path and be an entrepreneur."
    3
  279.  @vinsokukan1879  sounds like a plan!
    3
  280. The Nomad Tax is too real. Getting a book shipped from home can cost as much as a plane ticket 😅
    3
  281.  @neo2882  thank you! That's great! Are you planning on starting in Thailand? I do love it there. I've only been to like 11 or 12 countries but I've been to Thailand 4 times for long term stays haha 😁 it's that good I just keep going back as opposed to exploring new places. The food, people, festivals, infrastructure, it's all 💯 I'm getting chills just writing about it.
    3
  282.  @MJ98774  do you ever have mixed feelings about it..I've made some good friends throughout my travels and it can hard to lose them as they or I travel etc...
    3
  283.  @unknowninfinium4353  depends a lot on the individual
    3
  284. I've found that it's quite easy, also. Along with my immigration forms, I simply have to have the same forms for my daughter, perhaps an extra fee, and she gets the same status that I do.
    3
  285.  @CuriousConnoisseurs  I never thought about that. I should get one 😅
    3
  286. Incorrect. Death is an illusion. When entities "die", they merely change form. Grass becomes food for deer, deer become food for insects, insects become food for grass. It's a cycle.
    3
  287.  @rubensnogueira3199  Yes, agreed, and I don't blame Andrew, either. But, I'm the kind of person who likes to live in other places for things like the weather :D...but may I ask: how do you pay almost zero taxes on a sub $100K income? Are you from the USA?
    3
  288.  @valchuke  depends on how many passports you want I guess.
    3
  289.  @leeb7924  I'm a migrant. I don't rape anyone, douche.
    3
  290. This is a good question, especially if there are places with solid infrastructure for online work!
    3
  291.  @krisglobal  thank you, it's good to find channels like this and the people who reflect this line of thinking 🙏🙏
    3
  292. Rentals and landlording seems like a terrible job to get into in the USA...I wonder how someone could run an Airbnb unless they are always in the country and near.the property though? Is it possible to run a Airbnb in Georgia while living in Colombia?
    3
  293.  @Cuyt24  I currently have a us based LLC. That's good advice though...I could close it down, open it elsewhere? I probably should get another passport tho...maybe Panama?
    3
  294.  @user-qb2vf8je5c  I'm still learning to fly after I jumped 😅 were probably closer along in our journeys than you think. Why do you have to wait 5-10 years to do the nomad lifestyle?
    3
  295.  @KennethITGuru  Do you have more specific questions? I might be able to answer a few of them because I enjoy Andrew's content in a similar way you do, I think, but I'm also living the nomad capitalist lifestyle (just not at his income level, as you mentioned).
    3
  296. Well thank goodness I don't have anywhere near a couple million dollars to trigger the tax lol....one day though, I'll figure this shit out.
    3
  297.  @wanderingdoc5075  Coffee and Nomad Capitalist is good way to alert the senses :D
    3
  298. Making friends online is a great way to start. There are always Facebook groups for expats that welcome people in and post meetups and things like that. WhatsApp is a great tool to stay connected with friends all over the world.
    3
  299.  @hopandsolo  yeah, even lockdowns in paradise aren't fun
    2
  300.  Jewel Clark  finca is technically farm in spanish...but in english you might say finca could be "homestead in the country" or something like that
    2
  301.  @MiaogisTeas  yes there are ways around it, it's just the paperwork and hassle it adds that's most troublesome. Did you gain residency elsewhere?
    2
  302. Consider Medellin, Colombia, I, and lots of other expats, love it there for remote working, etc...
    2
  303.  @scachan331  you can make a real estate investment to move to Colombia, but it would be easier to get residency in Mexico where you could give Mexico City a go
    2
  304.  @amir5593  yes, Boquete, Bocas Del Toro, the capital city. They offer a wide range of choices for people. It was just a vibe thing for me. Not a bad place, but I feel better in others. I love Guanacaste, Costa Rica 🙌
    2
  305.  @amir5593  My pleasure, Amir.
    2
  306.  @lextor4712  Agree 100%. I've done the hybrid approach in the past, now mine is out of traditional schooling altogether. What I've found that works is finding someplace to settle for 3-6 months, sending her to a school I like, and then starting over again. Then, I go back to the places I like on a rotation and build out from there, kind of like Andrew's "trifecta" approach, but I'm still finding all of my "home bases." For financial education, I've been teaching my daughter step by step, it's wild that it's not a standard part of education everywhere.
    2
  307.  @nomadcapitalist  Good.
    2
  308.  @Re3iRtH  I usually have until 9 AM until my daughter wakes up...that is my free time 😁
    2
  309.  @tigervalley62  It's a part of the American public education system. It's not that hard to understand, if you can see how your own education influenced your perceptions of the world.
    2
  310. @Black Gold GROUP Yes! I've taught in several countries, ran a summer camp in Vietnam, managed a hostel in Costa Rica and am currently in Colombia. I'm keenly aware of the opportunity around the world. 🙏🙏 Have you taught abroad, as well?
    2
  311.  @Re3iRtH  I just posted one this weekend that explains part of it 😁 let me know what questions you have because it's not the full story just what could I think of while I was drinking a coffee 🙏🙏 do you have the notifications turned on? I'm posting videos more regularly these days, but not yet on a set schedule as I test days and times to release
    2
  312.  @micomarinas2753  casino earnings are taxable. I'm an American! 😬 Where taxes rule the land.
    2
  313.  @Miryr  you get a pass on taxes if youre on the non lucrative ✌
    2
  314.  @H0A0B123  she's been good. She speaks three languages now at 6 years old and is happy being home with me all day 😊🙌
    2
  315.    something like that 🙌🙌
    2
  316.  @yanzou5230  yes he's discussed offshore banking a lot
    2
  317.  @HueBFuture  it's yours, stay safe
    2
  318.  @missionelpaso3766  yes I understand I can't prepare for every single situation imaginable. I've been traveling for years with my daughter by my side and have never had a problem. I use other precautions, but I don't share them all.
    2
  319.  @missionelpaso3766  I imagine it would be very difficult to deal with in the moment. I definitely don't want a gun or knife in my face. Much better to lose the cash and a backpack than your life, smart to hand it over.
    2
  320. Where in the world would be a good place to set up a first home base for $30,000?
    2
  321.  @nomadcapitalist  Okay thanks. Sometimes I feel like I'm in too low of an income bracket right now to be watching your channel but I still find a lot of use in your videos. Aiming for that six-figure range to benefit even more of the nomadic lifestyle!
    2
  322.  @tccco9738  Yeah, that's what gets me, too. I hate having my winter jacket that I bought in Barcelona down in Colombia. Makes no sense, other than I'll need it if I ever go to somewhere cold. This trifecta approach is key.
    2
  323.  @Phil_br  yeah real estate is very expensive in Hong Kong, you can buy ten houses where I'm from in Michigan for the cost of an apartment in Hong Kong 😅
    2
  324.  @roysnabilie8345  yes, you too 🙏
    2
  325.  @rubensnogueira3199  I've seen nothing but people being polite and helpful down here.
    2
  326. I've spent a lot of time in Hong Kong over the past few years since my daughter is half-Chinese. You're right, it's a bit overwhelming to live there full-time. I'm going to try Medellin next week, stay there for a few months, and see how it goes!
    2
  327.  @jordanwentzell5220  Haha, no, prison is not the goal.
    2
  328.  @marcusberglund9105  haha okay you don't know anything about me, but your joke is still an unfunny attempt at racist humor
    2
  329.  @James_Sovereign  It's called geoarbitrage.
    2
  330. Exactly, this video attracted a lot of whiny, racist babies.
    2
  331.  @vinsokukan1879  haha! Primarily my income is derived from freelance writing.
    2
  332.  @amir5593  XPS 15..works well and i really like the keyboard, which is what initially drove me away from the macbooks
    2
  333. I found La Fortuna to be fairly reasonable in prices, how about you?
    2
  334. To diversify. And if you travel a lot you don't want to be continuously changing your currency back and forth due to fees.
    2
  335. I had a job offer once for Jeju Island, looks like an awesome place
    2
  336. Is this lifestyle only recommendable for people in your financial situation? What about someone who makes $60,000/year?
    2
  337.  @PLZRWD  I'm in the USA now, we got back about a week ago.
    2
  338. So does this mean it might be a bad idea to purchase a property when currencies are in flux, like right now? Or a good idea to purchase where currencies have lost value, such as in Colombia...
    2
  339. Hey Jimbo 🙌
    2
  340.  @shotelco  I will update more thoroughly soon. Thanks for asking, we made it home thankfully and having a pleasant summer visiting family so far! Hope you're well 🙌
    2
  341. Interesting stuff. How many currencies are you invested in, if you don't mind me asking? I have mxn, hkd, bht, USD, and of course COP because I'm living in Colombia. I use the others because I often travel to those places. Never thought about using them in this manner though, I was just avoiding the hassle of changing currencies everytime I travel.
    2
  342. I'm from Michigan. The roads have always sucked and always will haha.
    2
  343.  @neo2882  Sweet I've been wanting to go to India, I've heard so many good things! Have you thought about making videos with some pro tips about living there? For Thailand, my recommendations would depend on what you're about. Food, yoga, nature, big cities, culture, adult lifestyle, places for digital nomads, there's so much to talk about so what gets you going?
    2
  344.  @neo2882  haha awesome! I love to learn new languages so that would be interesting! Youre welcome and yes sure please make a suggestion, I'm growing my knowledge in this realm as well.
    2
  345.  @neo2882  Thank you for all that! Background in the videos? Do you mean like set it up so it looks nicer? Or use more B-roll footage and stuff like that?
    2
  346.  @amir5593  yeah that 20K is huge for someone at that level 🙏🙏
    2
  347.  @povpaul  I've learned a lot from this channel, helps me better prepare for the future 🙌🙌 thanks for following me on these platforms 😁🙏🙏

  352.  @AussieMoneyMan  I'm enjoying the first hand experience 🤣
    2
  353.  @valchuke  You can also get a handful of passports that give you as much travel freedom without the taxes...but that takes time.
    2
  354.  @marlajacques6947  Thank you that's quite useful. I like the idea of the side income with rental property, but the idea of it feeling like another job doesn't quite appeal to me. Appreciate your thoughts!
    2
  355.  @sergiomash  very informative thank you for that! I will look into it more before making any decision that's for sure 😁🙏🙏
    2
  356. Medellin is one of my top spots for bigger cities 😅 But I also enjoy some smaller places. Some underrated places that I love include Hong Kong's New Territories, the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica, and the area surrounding San Juan Del Sur in Nicaragua.
    2
  357.  @woodingsmichael  Same! I'm in Colombia now and there is lots of opportunity here 🙌🙌
    2
  358.  @chrislanejones  yeah, I got tricked into accepting student debt as a youngster and that's the last time I'm playing that game 😅
    2
  359. do you like to travel google sucks?
    2
  360.  Derek Johansen or something  how is the economic downturn impacting your renters' ability to pay up? And are you worried about the calls for stopping rent payments?
    2
  361.  @wanderingdoc5075  how do you manage a rental when you don't live near it? You have a property manager or something? What happens when tenants need your help?
    2
  362.  @eyesea123  stay safe out there, I hope it doesnt come to that.
    2
  363.  @amir5593  😁😁😁 she fell into the pool the other day and scraped up her thigh along the edge of the pool. She's okay now but it was a nasty scratch
    2
  364. Instead of panicking, I'm using this time to focus down the value I want to bring to the world. I started a freelance writing career a few years ago, and now that I have the cash position to withdraw from that, I'm taking this quarantine time to think about what I want to create that I can sell myself instead of working for others and relying on their business. Good to hear your positivity in the morning, Andrew! I've seen many other nomads throwing in the towel already and blowing up their businesses out of fear.
    2
  365.  @symesn  Not even allowed out for a walk in Colombia though it's kinda different
    2
  366.  @spacejam22  Why would I do any of that if I had the better option of flying back to the USA where I can do whatever I want?
    2
  367. He's quoting Truman🙏
    2
  368.  @dr.winstonsmith  those poor guys wouldn't be in trouble with anyone if they took control of their lives and made their payments for their obligations because they have children...sorry, I just don't feel bad at all for deadbeat dads lol
    2
  369.  @travelfam423  you're right!
    2
  370.  @margyiphillips4931  not yet! 😅🙃
    2
  371. I try to do at least three months in any location. The number one benefit for me is language learning. Hispanics say my Spanish is "very good" and when I speak in Cantonese, Hong Kongers seem to understand well enough. Anyway, I come from a family that preached the "Poor Dad" philosophy my whole life (they still do) and I'm trying to work my way out of that. How can I use my initial success as a freelance writer to build to the next level using this lifestyle?
    2
  372.  @KennethITGuru  Well thanks! But I hear you, just trying to live this lifestyle and not everyone has seven figures haha! If you ever do have questions feel free to ask, I could even answer them on my channel in a video format for you :)
    2
  373. How come you switched to 7am instead of 8am? Or did daylight savings happen or something?
    2
  374.  @nomadcapitalist  Exactly. Probably 5% of the taxes I pay I'm actually comfortable with how they're put to use.
    2
  375.  @michaelgoober3079  yes
    2
  376.  @hanoitripper1809  I've never encountered a problem, no.
    2
  377.  @shotelco  that is awesome to hear, thank you.
    2
  378.  Kang The Conqueror  great infrastructure in terms of transportation, electricity, and internet. Delicious, healthy, inexpensive food. Really nice locals and plenty of expats to connect with. Those are my main draws as a remote worker.
    2
  379. You fast

  380.  @TruthBombs99  did you really count them? 🤣🙌

  381.  @SirJoelsuf1  well said. Yeah, live your life, wait til the panic is over. Life will resume.

  394. Stepping up the video production with background music. Nice! How long did you spend in Cleveland before you started traveling? I started moving around when I was 5 so I've never connected to just one place.

  397.  @cnnewyam  I love the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. There are also some hidden gems in Nicaragua, but more for getting to nature than setting up shop in my experience 🙏
    1
  398.  @hubertcumberdale2651  yeah I kinda like that charm about it 🙏🙏
    1
  399.  @MarkRose1337  interesting, good for him for getting out quick!! 😅
    1
  400.  @RJ-su9us  he talked about it
    1
  401.  @XxMobileWizXx  that makes sense 🙌🙌🙌
    1
  402.  @amir5593  smart 😁

  403. Good morning, Margy, how are you doing these days?
    1
  404.  @realestateunplugged6129  thank you 🙏🙏
    1
  405.  @realestateunplugged6129  that's very kind 🙏🙏

  406.  @catarinav7947  I'm probably in one of them now: Colombia 😁🙌
    1
  407.  @eliseumds  Yes, I'm from the United States.
    1
  408.  @georgeklimes7604  Thanks! I committed myself to myself in November 2018 and have seen huge changes in my body, health, and income 🙌🙌
    1
  409.  @SonyJimable  thanks! Good to meet you 🙏
    1
  410.    thank you for the concern 😊🙌 we've stayed safe so far thankfully 🙃
    1
  411.  @amir5593  🤣 probably
    1
  412. He has other videos that answer this question
    1
  413.  @yanzou5230  there is a search function on youtube
    1
  414.  @glassbuddha  can't really alter my daughter's heritage lol
    1
  415.  @amir5593  Thank you! There are a few on my channel about groceries, did you check those out?
    1
  416.  @amir5593  I'm in Colombia now, it would be hard to make a video about Mexican food at the moment. I could do one for Colombia, though?
    1
  417.  @joshuabinegar4877  haha thanks man! Appreciate you following across so many platforms 😁🙌🙌
    1
  418.  @kellyengland  exactly
    1
  419. How do you find a REIT overseas?
    1
  420. @Charles Yuditsky if you're referring to the bloodshed of the previous century, no. There is still plenty of petty theft and things of that nature tho, but I've never felt unsafe in Colombia. As long as you're not making yourself a target for thieves, there is little to worry about. The traffic will get you before anything else, but if you're walking out of a bank counting your withdrawal with an expensive camera and a smart watch on, someone might punch your face and take them. I think Andrew mentioned once that he had a gun put in his face.

  421. Lolol nomad Jesus
    1
  422.  @mitch5775  I will look into it 🙏
    1
  423.  @NomadBlack  that's great! I haven't owned a home before and am still building my first real business so I will have to keep that in mind for the future. 🙏🙏
    1
  424.  @mortaldao8044  you must have missed the part about the importance of diversification...
    1
  425.  @mortaldao8044  Cool. I play poker, too. Have a nice day
    1
  426.  @-whackd  No, I have a really good anti theft backpack. Actually, I just made a video about it on my channel!
    1
  427.  @Re3iRtH  Okay, I put it on my list! Thanks for the suggestion :D
    1
  428.  @JC-ly8pz  does that app not work there?
    1
  429. How many nomad dads are there do you think?
    1
  430.  @falcon127  definitely, which is defined over time through contrasting experiences
    1
  431. What's the timestamp you're looking at?
    1
  432.  @FJF119  Not bad at all. Bootleggers can't unionize their specialty craft which puts them in danger of losing their income entirely should their jobs disappear.
    1
  433.  @jimbarr4606  no, but that's because a Thai was making a joke about themselves. If you'd walked up to Thai person you didn't know and asked them that same question, that would be racist. Is this stuff really that hard for y'all?
    1
  434.  vaga bonder  lucky, this was in 2016 so maybe they've gotten better
    1
  435.  @chrislanejones  very disappointing 😅 banh mi is still on point tho
    1
  436.  @Re3iRtH  loving it 🙌🙌🙌 ups and downs like anywhere, but it's jumped into my 'favorite cities' list
    1
  437.  @boyar1978  nice! Yeah teaching abroad can be lucrative in some places but at least you always get to travel and live better
    1
  438.  @epicurean1868  Who are you talking to? I live in Colombia.
    1
  439. Panama, Mexico, Cambodia, Thailand, Ecuador. Those might be good options for you.
    1
  440.  @shotelco  yes I do remember! That's great, do you have to have the brick and mortar location to get the tax benefits?
    1
  441.  @amir5593  good point. There may also be people who just don't know. Stuck in the world of American media with no other inputs paints the world in the frightening way. 🥴
    1
  442.  @amir5593  it seems weird to think that, but yeah, many people still only consume "information and facts" from their TVs, it really truncates the conversation doesn't it 😢
    1
  443.  @shotelco  I understand. Yes, the broadened perspective of knowing the world is full of beautiful places to live well is not prevalent in the mainstream, sadly.
    1
  444.  @nomadcapitalist  Yes, their tightening rules aren't anything to be surprised about, and anyone who wants that option better hop on it.
    1
  445.  @jounakamura7094  southeast asia is the big one for me
    1
  446.  @nidhishshivashankar4885  sounds like youre right where I was in my mid 20s! I feel all of that, best of luck out there 🙌
    1
  447. @Po Polsce you miraculously have 50k subs with a few videos and no views? How did you do that?
    1
  448.  @Heathbarcrunch7764  yeah that's what I'm doing, doesn't really matter what others say.
    1
  449.  @chrislanejones  that's rough, what kind of work were you doing?
    1
  450.  @golf5476  hope you recover from that stroke you just had
    1
  451.  @golf5476  interesting, so you're a psychoanalyst, my mentor, and my dad? You know everything about me and can judge me accordingly? Very interesting. 🤣
    1
  452.  @vinsokukan1879  That's a great observation and you definitely picked out one of my pain points: trust with investing internationally. Andrew seems to be the master.
    1
  453.  @vinsokukan1879  cool I will check it out!!
    1
  454.  @usuallyroamingrob7731  sounds pretty fun actually 😅 😅🙌
    1
  455.  @goldbrick2751  cool! Keep the tradition running!
    1
  456.  @jmanuelrm7804  I actually have a video going up at 6pm EST tonight that will explain 🙏🙏 if you subscribe and click the notification bell to alert you of all my videos, you'll be notified when it's posted 🙌

  457.  @chrislanejones  sure does! I don't know how he puts out so much content, I cant keep up lol
    1
  458.  @superdinda3634  yeah, im but a simple tourist :D
    1
  459.  @dlukton  it's a good thought for the future. I just don't know where I would want to change my status to yet.
    1
  460.  @dlukton  I was actually born in Wyoming. That might be a good place to look.
    1
  461.  @Re3iRtH  I keep bank accounts open where I have residency, I dont mind paperwork so much 😁 but that might change if it gets to be too much
    1
  462.  @NotShowingOff  not that I'm aware of, thats why I mentioned I'd like to get a second passport that gives me the option :)
    1
  463.  @russells9590  Exactly. That's what I'm doing right now. But I'm also considering a home base in Medellin at the moment. :D still have lots of the world to see!
    1
  464.  Joe Soap  That would be the point of getting a second passport that allows unlimited stays, yes?
    1
  465.  @hanoitripper1809  Why's that? I think it's number two for most visa-free countries available which is one reason I'm happy to have it. (Until I can get a handful of other passports which can give me the same opportunities without the taxes lol).

  467.  @artificialartist1  I already pay American taxes...can't be much worse 😅😅 but I hear you, Belgium sounds like a good place then 🙏
    1
  468. I feel like this happens all over the world. Everywhere I go I hear locals complaining about some other country's people coming in and overstaying their visas haha
    1
  469.  @amir5593  Facebook groups are a good option 🙌🙌 find what's local and post that you're looking, or browse for already posted homes
    1
  470.  @amir5593  wherever you want to go, there are usually local Facebook groups with housing options, just have to do some exploring and request to join multiple groups 😊😊
    1
  471.  @amir5593  never crossed anything like that. I think most landlords are happy to have someone who pays their rent 😁😁
    1
  472. @Kyle Darwin Enriquez sounds interesting! I've never been to Malaysia before, have you?
    1
  473.  @MJ98774  third grade version of me just took a bruise 🤣

  474. @Dom Donelly great! Hope it's been well for you too

  475.  @projectdesign4675  it's not a recent change
    1
  476.  @aficionato  thats the change made me ineligible

  477. My bank in México lets me transfer money for free.
    1
  478.  @lextor4712  You can start a business for about 27K or get real estate for a little over 100K and get an investor visa there
    1
  479.  @micomarinas2753  that's outside my realm of expertise
    1
  480.  @danielalmeida9332  😁😁🙌

  484.  @bradnomad1011  what type of downside do you mean?
    1
  485.  @nomadcapitalist  Thanks for the continued reminders of patience and optimism.
    1
  486.  @alex-craft  🤣🤣🤣 hilarious analogy well done
    1
  487.  @amir5593  well put 🙏
    1
  488. Nice place, Andrew! Did you hear that they just eliminated the 2% consumption tax on property purchases over roughly $285K? It's an even better time to invest in Colombia!
    1
  489. @brian' true
    1
  490.  @wanderingdoc5075  wow! You must have really good tenants 😅 but for real what do you do when there is a problem or emergency on a property like that? Or is that not something you've ever experienced?
    1
  491.  @Cuyt24  a lot of my income moves thru the USA at the moment. If I default on my loans, they'll garnish my income or my tax return. How do you avoid that if you defaulted? 🤔
    1
  492.  @amir5593  just trying to get some fresh air
    1
  493.  @amir5593  yeah she's fine, she's a really tough kid 😁😁

  496.  @amir5593  ahhh the patience...there in lies the rub. I like to move around too often. I'll look into those programs you mentioned tho!
    1
  497.  @radicaledwards3449  any ideas?
    1
  498. Depends on your lifestyle and living arrangements
    1
  499.  @dalethepalemale6855  Like where?
    1
  500.  @wanderingdoc5075  it's a good slow wake up over here,, help you fall sleep over there? :D
    1
  501.  @amir5593  haha you watched it?! It was my first video I think 🙈
    1
  502. @brian' imagine the difference between Thai and American cultures...there's a book to be written about it
    1
  503.  @SolOInvictus  agreed, they heavily tax average citizens, which is why I noted that it's unlikely the wealthy will face higher taxes with the current leadership in the USA.
    1
  504.  @chrislanejones  what do you mean about the medical supplies and lies about the virus? I don't watch much news so I'm not sure to what you're referring
    1
  505. Medellin is still the spot. Though I'm in Cozumel now and it's treating me just fine.

  506. Man's Search for Meaning is a quality read 💯

  507. @brian' where did u hear that

  508.  @margyiphillips4931  🤣 I try to cut out my stumbles in video production, Andrew is less self conscious than me it seems 🥴
