I’ve been inundated recently with e-mails from readers asking, “Why not?” “Why not Honduras?” “Why not Costa Rica?” “Why not Spain?” “Why not the Bahamas?” Etc. Why do I focus in these dispatches on the countries I do…and give less (or no) virtual ink to others? I have a Top 10 list. On it are my picks for the best places in the world right now to think about spending your time and your money. This list has been created based on more than 25 years experience traveling the globe and covering this live, retire, invest overseas beat…and it has … Continue reading The Five Flags Approach

Tax Heaven No More?

Admin

“Bad news from down South America way,” writes friend and offshore expert Bob Bauman. Bob is legal counsel for the Sovereign Society, an organization we’ve trusted for years as perhaps the most reliable source of information on what can be complicated and murky issues. “It was announced last week that the government of the Republic of Uruguay plans to introduce legislation to impose taxes on bank deposits and other assets held offshore by citizens and residents in the country. “If this proposed legislation becomes law, this would be a radical change from the current territorial tax system that exempts citizens … Continue reading Tax Heaven No More?

When Really Cheap Isn’t A Good Deal

Admin

This week I was forwarded information about cheap lots on a Caribbean island. Prices start at US$7,550. That’s an attention-getter, right? In fact, this sounds-too-good-to-be-true offer (like every such offer I’ve come across in more than 17 years seeking out international real estate investment opportunities) is just that–too good to be true. Here’s why. Property this cheap generally falls short on the three characteristics I look for in any property investment–location, size, and infrastructure. In the case of the Caribbean lots that came across my desk this week, upon closer inspection, I saw that we’re not, in fact, talking about … Continue reading When Really Cheap Isn’t A Good Deal

Why Panama Is The Best Place In The World To Start An Internet Business

Admin

Set yourself up properly, and you’ll be liable for no corporate tax. Not in Panama and not anywhere else either (including, you may be wondering if you’re an American, in the United States). That’s a big reason why Panama is the #1 place in the world right now to start an online or e-commerce business. It’s also the best place to base yourself if you want to make a living from consulting, travel writing, copywriting, or any other laptop-based profession you can think of. The key is that your customers are outside Panama. In other words, as long as the … Continue reading Why Panama Is The Best Place In The World To Start An Internet Business

What is “Job Satisfaction”?

Admin

Some people say that “job satisfaction” means “good money”, others say that it means a “stress free” job. For me, when I try to explain this I think of Sir Richard Branson’s quote: “When business stops being fun throw it away!”. Richard runs the business empire called Virgin and I simply don’t think that he never had struggles and abandoned businesses at the first signs of hard times to come. For me, this term, “job satisfaction” is very important. It makes me start the business day with a smile and to kickstart everything which I have in mind. Being an … Continue reading What is “Job Satisfaction”?
