See Asia In 2010

“I grew up in the 1950s and 60s, and China was closed, full-stop closed, permanently closed,” writes Intrepid Correspondent Paul Terhorst. “Mao’s Revolution had taken hold,” Paul continues. “One thing we knew for sure was that we’d never, ever get to travel in China. “Today I can still hear my older brother saying, with that grave, pontificating voice that 14-year-olds assume, that China, not Russia, looked to be the biggest danger in our future. Remember that, during the Cold War, Russia–actually the Soviet Union, but everyone called it Russia–was Enemy Number One. My brother figured China would be even worse … Continue reading See Asia In 2010

Times Are Tough, But You Have Options

Admin

“I think we’re living in tough times,” writes Intrepid Correspondent Paul Terhorst this morning. “Americans appear to hate government, Wall Street, oil companies, immigrants, trade… “Our house is worth less than before. Our stocks are worth less than they were 10 years ago. Our taxes have gone up, our standard of living down. And we’re the lucky ones. Vicki and I have friends who have seen their financial boat sink. You may know people in that boat, too. “The question becomes: What to do now?” That’s what we’re convened in Belize City this week to consider: What to do now? … Continue reading Times Are Tough, But You Have Options

Utter Peace, Quiet, And Escape

Admin

“Paul and I try to hang out with locals rather than the tourists wherever we travel,”writes Intrepid Correspondent Vicki Terhorst. “So, when we were ready for some beach time during our recent stay in Malaysia, we headed for Pangkor Island, a west coast island popular among Malays. “We left our hotel in nearby Taiping early in the morning, while it was still cool, to catch the first (and maybe only) bus headed toward the port town of Lumut. You can also reach Lumut on comfortable, first-class, air-conditioned buses from Kuala Lumpur or Ipoh. “Lumut’s simple beauty convinced us to stay … Continue reading Utter Peace, Quiet, And Escape

Make Your Own Simple, Sweet Reality In Belize

Admin

Mick Fleming is a larger-than-life character, a Brit who, more than 30 years ago, with US$600 in his pocket, made his way to Belize City, where he met a guy in a bar who owned a piece of land in the jungle he was interested in selling. Mick bought, thinking he’d try his luck as a farmer. The farming was tough going, but, in time, Mick identified another opportunity. Travelers were beginning to find their way to this remote region. They’d happen upon Mick and ask if he had a place where they could spend the night. Mick built a … Continue reading Make Your Own Simple, Sweet Reality In Belize

Once Crazy, Now Genius…Just Ask Brian

Admin

In the month since my new “How To Retire Overseas” book was published, I’ve been interviewed by a dozen reporters and editors intending to review the book in their respective media. A common theme has emerged: Americans are ready to make a move. They want out. They’ve had it with health care “reform,” rising taxes, and an uncertain future. They want to find a way to hold on to the assets they’ve worked their whole lives to accumulate. More than any generation of retirees that has preceded them, they’re ready to take action to take control. They’re even ready to … Continue reading Once Crazy, Now Genius…Just Ask Brian

Springtime In The Jurançon…French Country Living At Its Best

Admin

“Sometimes, when the sun shines, you just have to drop everything and get outside!” writes France Correspondent Lucy Culpepper. “This morning I dropped the children at school, then set off on my road bike into the Jurançon countryside in the southwest of France. This is rolling wine country. The vine growers use traditional grapes, such as Lauzet, Petit and Grand Mansengs, and Courbu. The vines are just starting to turn from woody looking sticks to the leafy boughs that will soon bear the fruit for both the golden sweet and the dry clear green Jurançon wines. “Wine has been grown … Continue reading Springtime In The Jurançon…French Country Living At Its Best

From High Stress In The UK To The Bliss Of French Country Living–One Family’s Retire Overseas Adventure

Admin

In 2006, two generations of the Mulcare family decided to leap off the work treadmill in the UK and follow their dream of living, working, and retiring in France. Until this point, the younger generation–James Mulcare, his wife Ruth, and James’ sister Louise–were all working in full-time stressful jobs in Britain. James was a real estate asset and fund manager; Ruth was a PR consultant, and Louise was a sales manager with Mercedes Benz. James and Louise’s parents had just retired from a successful law practice and bed-and-breakfast business. It was the older generation that launched the search for a … Continue reading From High Stress In The UK To The Bliss Of French Country Living–One Family’s Retire Overseas Adventure

How To Earn Guaranteed Yields Of Up To 22% Per Year…

Admin

Last month, I alerted you to an opportunity to invest in the Founder’s Guild memberships being made available at Carmelita in Belize. This was an appealing opportunity, evidenced by the fact that the developer at Carmelita, friend Phil Hahn, has closed out all the packages available (to Live and Invest Overseas Marketwatch members). The interest in these investment packages was so great that Phil has decided to make additional packages available. Specifically, Phil has launched four additional US$50,000 packages this week. In addition, he has created a new level of investment opportunity and is making four US$75,000 packages available, as … Continue reading How To Earn Guaranteed Yields Of Up To 22% Per Year…

Life As Art–Retirement In The Enchanted Land Of Bali

Admin

“From the comfort of your veranda,” writes Asia Correspondent Wendy Justice, “you can see the people of the neighboring village tending to the irrigated paddies of bright-green rice. A gentle breeze making its way down from the distant mountains softly touches into life the shimmering greens of a hundred species of plant life. “You eye the ducks swimming in the irrigation canals and tilt your ear slightly toward the sounds of happy laughter, and other-worldly gamelan music softly carries from the banjar community hall in the distance. “Taking a deep breath, you sigh with contentment. The scent of flowers surrounds … Continue reading Life As Art–Retirement In The Enchanted Land Of Bali

Campanii Web 2.0 de la 3,000 eur chiar si pentru proiecte imobiliare?

Admin

Imi place foarte mult sa merg la targuri si expozitii atat ca expozant cat si ca vizitator. Cand aflu de ceva care ma intereseaza particip intr-una din cele doua calitati si de cele mai multe ori timpul este bine investit. In cazul in care particip ca expozant uneori sunt dezamagit, dar asa este in business. Ieri am vizitat Targul National Imobiliar la palatul Parlamentului si chiar vreau sa-i felicit pe organizatori ca au reusit sa pastreze alive acest targ chiar daca intre participanti erau mult pre multe banci si brokeri de credite raportat la numarul de agentii si dezvoltatori. Sau … Continue reading Campanii Web 2.0 de la 3,000 eur chiar si pentru proiecte imobiliare?

Admin

Competitia acerba intre Microsoft Corp si Google Inc in privinta sistemelor de operare ar putea duce la o scadere a preturilor PC-urilor intr-o perioada in care acestea erau deja afectate de aparitia netbook-urilor. Google a anuntat ca va oferi gratuit noul sistem de operare Google Chrome Operating System (OS) ce va fi lansat in a doua jumatate a lui 2010, o miscare ce ar putea declansa un razboi al preturilor intre acesta si Microsoft, informeaza Reuters. Desi Windows este sistemul de operare instalat pe 90% dintre calculatorele lumii, Microsoft nu va ignora initiativa Google, au declarat analistii.Noul sistem de operare … Continue reading Razboiul dintre Microsoft si Google poate duce la o scadere a preturilor calculatoarelor
