Reading some of the comments, I am comforted to know I’m not the only 5-figure dreamer who indulges in a bit of mental escapism by watching, and thoroughly enjoying, your videos!
I'm here too! Making a long range plan to retire in the next 15 years to another country. Retirement will be unsustainable in the US after the Boomers. (Gen X here) and an assignment to poverty. I certainly intend to go where treated best!
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.
I traveled to Bhutan and was there for 7days 5 years ago .I highly recommend it for the value . I spent under $ 3000 USD for the entire trip and that included the flight form Seattle to Bangkok round trip , 2 nights in Bangkok before trip to Bhutan and 2 nights on return .The week in Bhutan included three good meals a day a very nice hotel in some exotic locations each night and an awesome road and walking tour of a beautiful ancient country and one of the best trips I have ever been on .
If you're trying to get a passport that requires on the ground residency in a country with a lower cost of living than your home, you might as well go while you're poor
Andrew would love to see some videos about the passive income residency programs available in some countries. Portugal D7 Spain and Austria also have one I believe.
A great video topic here, and very useful and "red pilled" for people to comprehend. One friend of mine I told a friend of mine in Chicago is that if you need to sell a car to have the money to leave USA, you don't have enough money to relocate. One other question is whether or not the person has cash flow while living abroad as this is another important aspect someone has to consider.
Thank you for answering that question, it makes sense. The information I gain about countries here will be very helpful for my offshore retirement plan.
Indeed, if you spend 3000$ living how, and you end up spending 1000$ somewhere else, its a 2000$ each month, and thats before we think of taxes and bureaucracy.
@@exelsiominecraftandmore1487 Probably the easiest for most people is Georgia, its tax and foreign friendly, got good banks, with no 100k$+ demands, and they give you a 1 year visa with the right to work on the airport. So spending 300.000 lari on a permanent residency isn't neccesary, atleast as a first step.
@@exelsiominecraftandmore1487 no tax countries (like Bahamas, Cayman Islands, UAE, etc) territorial tax countries (Panama, Georgia, Malaysia, etc), low tax countries (Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, etc) or tax exempt countries. In no income tax countries u don't pay income tax at all, in territorial tax countries u don't pay income tax on foreign income, on low tax counties ud pay around 10% and in tax exempt countries it really depends. For example in Portugal if you're a foreign, u can get residence through the golden visa program and if u qualify for the tax exemption, u won't have to pay income tax (not sure wether it's just on foreign income or all income) for 10 years, but it really depends on the country, not all exemptions work the same
Things have changed! I worked as a volunteer (similar to Peace Corps) in Malaysia for two years and had to have a bank account. It was no trouble to get a simple account with the local branch of one of the world's leading banks.
Use the Foreign Earned Income Exemption and live in another country (for income up to around $100k ) . It would be nice if they had unlimited amount for that.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Easy fix to personal poverty as long as you can work remotely for a US-based company and get the *Exclusion. And yes, $108,700 as of 2021. That’s a specific solution though, and this video seems to address a wider audience. Plus, foreign earned income exclusion won’t get you from 5 figures to 6.

Its very possible i bought a condo overseas before i actually moved there i rent it out when im not there . I have a bank account there and have a resident there also . I spend most of my time in the west because my business is still in the west . Believe me im not rich i also have a passport from desent in another part of the world . Dont have to be rich jus have to put things in place before u leave the west
Singapore is a great example i wanted to move there in college about 8 years ago, now it's almost impossible with at least a good amount of money. I still want o go there but it's not easy.
Even Hong Kong does not ask for that kind of money. That's asinine. Even at HSBC, you can open an account there with an average balance of HK$10,000.00
@Nomad Capitalist - Losing money, whether big or small is easy. It's just that big money, will have a big backup. Small money will not have that kind of backups.
You have people who are only reserving SSI. for there income. Like me, I wish I could transfer my SSI. from the US too other countries or even keep my SSI. while I am visiting other countries/ extended my visa! Never was in another country yet
If I could do it again, I would have left Canada sooner. Learn a new age trade in university. Study business for the knowledge but not for the degree. Move to shanghai China, start teaching English, ($4000 USD per month). Tutor on the side, $40-$50/h. Conservatively you’re making $6000 a month. Rent a shared apartment for $400. Breakfast cost: $0.50. Lunch provided at school. Dinner as cheap as $2, but western meals without drinks for $15. Live on the cheap. Network your ass off, get to know other expats and Chinese entrepreneurs alike. Develop your business idea, make it location independent . You’ll be saving easily $4k a month while you bootstrap your business.
In Aus 70k a year pays 14k tax. If it costs 5k to set up an off shore trust with lawyers and 1-2k ongoing fee per year then it is profitable within 6 months of setting it up. Even for someone making 50k a year it is profitable to set one up.

Id like to know how and where an American small business should open a business that is tax and business friendly. Even if i live abroad and my business is overseas as an American, im required to pay taxes in America as well as country of incorporation.. very bad deal, do i hire american tax lawyer as well as one where i do business, and Also.. do i pay state tax on foreign income. Lastly, do i report too U.S government for real estate bought overseas, and income on that, other foreign assets.
Depends where your current home country is and external factors. If your business is already place independent and running stable and viable and you are not an US tax resident you can move your place of living and reduce taxes when you live in a high tax country like e.g. Germany even with a not super big 5 figure income. You just need to do a little research on your own and be smart: What would Andrew Henderson do right now in my position ;)

The cost of living is largely tied to the cost of housing, life's largest expense. Real estate investors, not very different than sitting president Trump, have made their fortunes on the backs of people that need shelter. The cost of living in major metropolitan areas is cost prohibitive for the rank and file W-2 wage slave. Real estate speculation has created unsustainable competition for housing, originally designed for families, now EXPLOITED into a rental business. How the hell can a shelter consumer that doesn't profit from having a roof over their head COMPETE with a rental or flipping business that can pay cash and distort the market SO MUCH, leaving so much homeless carnage. This is why people are leaving. This is the political class greatest failure, allowing real estate speculation, especially in light of nimbyism, in light of the obsene fees charged by the local municipality, California I'm looking at you, to build in the first place. In the last one hundred years, housing has become more expensive, with hardly any innovation in construction methods to drive down cost. 3D printed housing can create infinite housing. Solar can provide infinite power, atmospheric water generators can provide infinite water, we can litterally build off-grid, and wireless communications can connect us globally. Trump's latest tax cuts for the real estate industry really shows how indoctrinated and backwards our leadership has become. Overpriced cellulose housing leveraged by a corrupt banking cartel feeding off the carcass of the American dream of home ownership is a fucking joke and a testament to the lack of leadership the United States. This is why BRIC countries will rise. This is why people are leaving overcrowded ghetto metros for freedom. Your welcome.
You do not need a million dollars to go offshore. If you have a business or investment making $250,000 to $500,000 per year minimum after taxes - you can go offshore!
