  • Mike Swigunski is a 33-year-old nomadic entrepreneur who moved to Tbilisi, Georgia from the U.S. He is able to take advantage of tax benefits from living abroad and a low cost of living that allows him to work as little or as often as he likes, and he still manages to make $275,000 a year. As a result he has traveled to 100 countries, can afford a two-story apartment, and has a private chef come six times a week to cook for him.

All this, while making cost of living in that country more expensive for locals by "living" there with their high foreign salary/money; and not paying the full extent of taxes the citizens do. My friends in Spain can't even afford a place to live, other than with their parents, thanks to "digital nomads" and a host of other problems.

    If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

      To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal. Remember, diversification is an approach to help manage investment risk. It does not eliminate the risk of loss if security prices decline.Because investing can be complicated, consider working with a financial professional to help guide you on your wealth-building journey.

    So I’ve lived in Georgia for a total of 6 years, coming in and out since 2010. Anyone considering moving here should know Georgians consider foreigners to either be tourists/guests or citizens, and you’re only a citizen of you’re married to a Georgian. Georgians do not consider foreigners as residents. Even though I am fluent in Georgian, have worked in Georgian companies, and visited every region here, ok still a “guest” after 6 years. In other words, don’t expect to integrate as it’s a closed society, and I actually understand and agree with Georgians about this.

Meanwhile because they have so much money and don't know better they overpay for real estate and rents so that drives up the price for everyone and pushes out locals because they can't afford it anymore.

      @giddy - Georgia has some of the highest home ownership for any country...this isn't really a problem (source: many local friends). And you have to consider a tourist/expat like myself is 1. hiring locals (providing jobs) 2. Spending 3-5x more into the local economy than the average local. It's truly a win-win and one of the many a reason they are VERY welcoming here (especially to Americans!)

      Russia wants to recreate USSR and Georgia is one of the former republics of this communist state. Putin invaded Ukraine and is destroying our buildings and killing our people(including civilians). And the pretext for this invasion was to call us nazis(bad guys from WW2), though our president is jew. And depending on the results in Ukraine, he will decide weather to invade other country of the former USSR and which. That is why Ukraine heavily needs any support. (You can donate to save life foundation ukraine) Ukraine is protecting democratic way of life, life of freedom, life without borders.(russians banned youtube among other services in Kherson and other regions that they took)
