The "soft freedom" concept is very interesting. Here in Brazil there are laws that just don't stick. Sometimes that's for worse, but having a culture stronger than the state is something the anglosphere and western Europe seem to have lost and that's even worse.

Took the chance to get out of my EU country returning to a brutal lockdown to escape to one of the East European countries you talk about. Got here yesterday and I couldn’t comprehend the freedom I was seeing. Food is amazing, life is incredibly affordable, and people are friendly and happy
I was shocked when travelling through eastern europe back in 2013 because friends and family told me that it wasn't as good as western europe, that's when I stopped listening to others 😜
It takes a special person to travel overseas. When I went to the Middle East, I was shocked! I felt more free than in my home country. This was eye opening and once you experience it, you simply can't go back.
I'm a woman. I feel freer and safer in the ME. People treat you well and are respectful and helpful. No theft or harassment. I used to wander round alone at night no probs. Obviously respecting the local environment always, wherever I travel.
Indeed. Still, having been a "migrant" (i dont like the word "Expat") nearly half of my life, I have seen way too much of those self entitled expats lacking the most basic common sense or basic understanding of where they were living. Not even trying.
I’ve yet to experience a lockdown. Just didn’t work for months which was amazing. Allowed me to save and get the hell out of America. From America to Africa. I’m not interested in being locked down. I definitely want an Asian passport, and maybe a Caribbean country like Barbados. It’s the “developed” countries that are controlling its people. I’m over developed countries. Give me 3rd world, please.
Well I grew up in a undeveloped economy country… and that is not true… every country wants to control you, but I agree that all of us needs at least 2 or 3 Passports, I have 2, and my AMERICAN PASSPORT opened to me to more opportunities to get another ones and I am grateful for that🙌🏼
Culture is so important. I love the culture in a certain Asian country. I feel at home there. The country I was raised in is increasingly becoming a foreign and hostile land to me.
You aren’t alone....there are MANY people who feel just as you do & when we all leave to go elsewhere, I really wonder what kind of global reset we’ll be looking at then- the previous world order will be unrecognizable.
Completely feel the same way. Traveled lots for work and I just dont feel like my country is my home any more. I plan on moving abroad, this channel is really helping me work out where to go.
People who never travel or look around them just don't get it. My fam think I'm insane. I just got a few things happening in various countries for passive income and healthcare and live in cheaper places , tax resident in a low tax country. I'm poor, but NC has lit the path for me too.

I rent rooms out in my house to international university students and travelers to Australia. I live in the social welfare capital/state of Australia. All of them either arrive with a job lined up or find one within days. Why? ..... because they are prepared to do any work. For me, who is limited physically by MS, it is great to have so much young positive energy around me. Note, I wrote physically, not mentally. So you can either focus on what you cannot do, or focus on what you can do.
What''s that lovely saying again: "Those who say it cannot be done should get out of the way of those who are actually doing it" , something along those lines?;). Keep up the good work Andrew & thanks
This was actually a brilliant video. I grew up in Norway and hated it there, due to the nanny state and egalitarian culture. Moved to the US, and it was great for a while, but gradually became more socialist. Moved to the UK, then Mexico, then Colombia. The things that attracted me to each place gradually disappeared, not only due to more government control, but also due to too many other foreigners moving there and pushing up price levels. In Bulgaria, where I am now, I am not yet seeing any of this, apart from certain "expat hotspots" like Plovdiv. But I am prepared to move anywhere, in order to continue preserving my freedom.
Old farm boy from GA (USA) lived 23 yrs in Prague now living in Ukraine and loving it. Only problem is I speak Czech (finally) but now I need to learn Russian (we live in the East). Got US passport, Czech permanent residence, and Ukrainian permanent residence.
Hey Mike! I am also from USA and love it in Ukraine. I am arriving in Kiev in a few days and will stay for a few months. I'm interested to know, was the permanent residence process easy enough, or challenging?
As you say “democracy run amuck.” Public schools in the US is of little value if you wan’t a genuine education.” Democracy among the illiterate isn’t workable. We WERE a Constitutional REPUBLIC. Constitutional monarchy is a good second choice.
In UK, in the past year, a phrase that was used previously has featured more in conversation regarding the whole nonsense that is strangling trade and society. This phrase seems to be the expression of so many people who don't want to rock any boats and are willing to just carry on accepting tyranny "It is what it is". How inane and how cowardly have people become?
Andrew, is that your pet lama? Jokes aside, the most negative people are those who have never travelled. The more you travel, the less you hate. Simple
One of the hard lessons that life has taught me is no matter how great your current situation is, always have an out. This can be as simple as having a good contact in a country that you could stay with for a few weeks, if you absolutely needed to. Or even simpler, having a valid passport. Great content, thank you.
@@LeonMortgage Absolutely! And I'm Christian and conservative so it is sooo nice to be away from all the horrific liberals in Canada and to be around Godfearing people. A blessing beyond anything I could imagine, there being no Covid hysteria here is just a perk lol
How big is your yacht? You have to berth somewhere for fuel/supplies/crew/weather etc eventually. Monaco has no taxes but a yacht berth is so expensive and there is a 2 year waiting list.
@@satyakammisra Hi, I don’t have one yet, but I am looking at something around 25 meter, it will most likely be registered in the Cayman Islands, most yachts are registered there.
Just live in Switzerland and pay the lump sum tax which varies based on Canton. Living on a Yacht is crazy expensive and impractical. The amount you would save in tax would be dwarfed by the expenses of living on a yacht out at sea.
The very interesting thing during the Covid year was that countries who had seen communism and authoritarianism in their past, like Russia and Eastern Europe, were the least authoritarian, whereas the Western European countries, bastions of democracy, were the most authoritarian and draconian countries to live in, and they showed their true colors!
Completely agree with what you say about unenforced laws and also about people not being so easily commanded in Eastern Europe. I live in Bulgaria and see this all the time.
What about vaccine passports? I am not taking the jab, Andrew. I am starting to believe the establishment may take my life if I don't comply with this...and that's when you realize there is no place to run to.
I’ve been very concerned about this too but feel with the increasing amount of reporting on the injuries and death counts from the shots has led to some push back. There’s a lot of ppl that will refuse but the media spins it to look like the majority are happily running to form a line up for it. Maybe check Paul Watson’s last vid, he explains how the shot passport will fail as it is considered ray-cyst to ask minorities for id, let alone medical info! Thanks woke left for that 😉
But if you did, what is going to happen to you? Are you really so scared of one jab? If that is what it's going to take to get around the world you might as well do it and get it over with.
I was in the early stage of building my multimedia company when the siege started. I'm looking at other countries to launch it in instead of the USA because the USA is just not open for business now. The country is completely destabilized.

I'm a nomad living on a shoestring (having worked previously as a university lecturer with an abysmal salary waiting for social security). Having so little money requires one to be resourceful in securing a visa or second passport. If I had the funds, I would have bought my way to another citizenship years ago.
@@Captain_MonsterFart I teach online (not well paid) and my savings are in precious metals, but because the price is so badly manipulated by the ccp and corrupt central bankers, I have to wait again for the value to go up in order to purchase anything. crypto is too volatile; metals never lose.
With all the lockdowns, protests and travel restrictions this global unrest limits options that was once there before and that’s jus being realistic....I’m African American so I really have to try and go where I’m treated at least better Asia is not happening lol.... I still have a few places in mind though.
Still failing to address the core two issues that prevent "going where you're treated best" anymore. Namely, (a) how can you travel now without getting forcefully injected with a dubious substance and/or without accepting to get molested with intrusive sampling protocols? And, (b) what is the NPV of a second residence/passport when the advantage of that investment might just vanish with worldwide taxation & the introduction of CBDCs within 4 years? Not making a decision in this context is not crossing your arms and blaming whoever, it's about understanding the big picture and thinking a few steps ahead. If you've got an answer to that, then I'm all ears.
I'm "stuck" in the U.S. as my wife has a long term illness and I would never take her away from her large family so I like to focus on how to make life great right here. All of this nonsense is just background noise when you live in a more rural setting, enjoying natural beauty, hobbies and friends, neighbors and family.
Im stuck too. We all make choices and then we have to live with them. I made some choices that I wish I could undue. Hindsight is 20/20. Im sorry that your wife is ill, hang in there and pray.
Yeah but you’re talking about a year ago!! How about future trends! This guy’s delusional and greedy, he’s about to have no business at all. Where could we possibly go?? Everywhere is the same..
Great video Andrew and I totally agree. I've been trying to convince my parents that moving overseas is the answer and I am getting the same excuses from them. It's frustrating. I will go by myself if I have too (I'm Aussie so have to wait till borders open anyways), but it seems that no matter how much they complain about where Australia is going, they will find an excuse as to why it would be somehow worse overseas. Worse is when they also do what you said, they see one scarebait newspeice on some country overseas and act like that country is in total chaos, yet when the exact same things happen here it's brushed off as the fault of individuals and doesn't reflect on Australia. It's such a dumb mindset.
I moved to Aus from another country but this totalitarianism I see creeping in is not good. My family want to stay in Aus but I'd love to live elsewhere. I'm hearing you, Mate.
What you mean? There is already global taxes... US taxes based on worldwide income. Even if you live elsewhere, you owe US tax based on your bracket and etc.
@@jbennison5672 Evan called it. Yep, if you're living in another country and paying taxes, you're still required to file taxes and pay US tax based on your income level regardless of where it came from. Additionally, you have to ensure you have the proper forms and etc and there can be some big headaches or the US will attempt to double tax you rather then give credit for the tax you paid in your current country.... it's the delta. So if you pay UAE 0%, but you're in a 34% bracket, you owe 34% to US. That's why it's such a big deal especially for business owners
I’m guessing this video was birthed from reading the comments section from previous vids. Great ideas for new videos but you gotta deal with the idiots. Trolls gonna troll, Andrew.
KL - Microsoft Corporation will invest $1 billion over the next five years in Malaysia as part of a new partnership programme with government agencies and local companies.
You are so right about Chile. It became succesful because of Pinochet's economical liberties, but now the country is facing a brutal marxist attack. I stopped investing here and will leave.
Thank you for your videos.. I live in the US, but I have another passport, and working in another one with my wife. I do not have yet the resources to move around with my family, but getting there. I am building a digital business to have a digital life. I feel that having an online business is the solution for most, and of course, also investing in real estate around the world. Forget about finding jobs.
Hi Andrew, perhaps your topic today was fueled by negative comments in previous videos? What I'd like to say is don't even give them the time of day. Although it's good motivational material for some of the procrastinators among us, you never need to explain yourself to the naysayers. As a leader by example your advice is already well accepted by many. Perhaps we don't make as much noise as the complainers; Nevertheless those of us looking to actually implement some of your ideas appreciate your outlook and opinions.
Every country has its own propaganda. USA does too of course. Andrew is right! Don’t assume you’ve got it the best just coz you live in xxx (name the country), much better to diversify or move every few years.
Those people who claim such nonsense are the very same guys who live in the same town or village all their lives doing the same thing everyday. And yes Hong Kong is just fine. Thousand times better than living in 90% of the Western world
My wife and I have no property, no investments, no savings, and we earn all of our little income online, we have not been jabbed (we refuse to get vaccinated) yet we have just moved to the second country in the past year - have residency in one of the two countries (apart from the country we came from), and we plan to purchase a property within the next year (and pay it off) to rent out on airbnb. And we have no mentor or received any guidance from anyone. We live in faith and use plain old common sense.
TRUE STORY!: I have a friend who had a business relation with him. (2 degrees of separation from me). This guy was a massive 6 figures in debt. No chance of BK. The walls were closing in with even more debt obligations avalanching on him. He was couch surfing etc to keep away from debt collectors. His dad died and he inherited about 850,000. Bought a secondary citizenship, set the rest up in annuity/variable annuities and split. He is untouchable now. Gone. If I ever get over 750k in assets....this will be one of my "investments" no doubt!
My family and I are living this lifestyle without being 6/7 figure entrepreneurs...yet. Building that app right now lol..But even if you are 5 figures you can benefit by just getting out. When you travel opportunities just pop up! My three kids love traveling. We spend so much time together as well. They say when you get older the year gets shorter but that’s only if you are doing the same ish everyday
This comment is spot on and underrated. I’m sure it’s a psychological phenomenon. Travelling and ‘changing one’s surroundings’ slows time down. Significantly!
I recommend Africa. Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Madagascar etc. Every and any African country. I’m Nigeria, but won’t currently recommend it. It tries to hard to be America. It’s failing...
AA retired mom & working daughter going this summer to Africa for the first time (Ghana). However, I'm looking forward to departing US eventually (daughter feels the same way but must keep on working). Background: Baby boomer, grew up in mid-west, joined military, moved to CA & haved loved the last 40 years of it. But now?These past 7-8 years? Not any more. I'm done looking over my shoulder whenever I get in my car. 3x my husband and I were arrested/car impounded/ jailed overnight & released the next day without ANY charges. No expired tags, license, proof of insurance; no illegal contraband; no speeding; no running stop signs/red traffic lights; no illegal turns; no back talk; not even failing to wear seat belts; just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In our last arrest we got a lawyer & sued for deprivation of rights /due process violation, etc,. Six years later we're now in settlement with LA sherriff's dept. I am a disabled veteran with service-connected ptsd & I gotta get outta here ya'll. P.S. When single never taken to jail for a minor traffic stop - got issued a ticket & allowed to go on my way and if I felt I didn't deserve it I would go to court and fight it - 50/50 success btw. Since I married (raised daughter to adulthood as a single mother) I can't count how many times I've been pulled over with my AA spouse and almost never cited. Ain't that something?
Excellent information and advice. Andrew, have you made a video about the "freeest countries " in terms of personal liberties? It is one thing to have a lower tax rate, which is great, but to be as free as possible may have even more value. Thank you.
One thing is to find the place where you are treated best. Another thing is having to find the place where you are treated least badly. Diversification is great. Whining is useless. But the bar is getting lower and lower.
There isn't a better time to run than now. With so much instability and economic problems in the world due to COVID, you need to make sure that you have multiple options moving forward regardless of your net worth
Mexico, where we spend our winter's, is a great place to be. Low costs, wonderful people, excellent weather. Sadly, we have to head back north to Canada soon. If we didn't HAVE to be there in person, we'd stay here for sure! Thanks for your videos Andrew.
I'm "stuck" in Brazil laughing my ass off of canadians who, unlike me, could not come by thinking Canada is a great country... no rush whatsoever to return
For me, the only place left in the world is rural Japan. Low property taxes, safe neighborhoods, no third world's. Healthy food that does cause cancer. Beautiful people and language.
Andrew thanks! I'm not 7 figures. Have been and will be again. However I like my America but we are actively planning to move to a US State where we can grow our own food and be surrounded by other Patriots. We are going to stay and resist technogical tyranny and globalists. We do however also want to start looking into other Countries if living in a deeply red State isn't sufficient or when we are making more money and being taxed more heavily. Thank you
Sea Steading anyone? I hear that Panama is cutting deals that Thailand and French Polynesia would not. Times are getting interesting. Lucky to be alive.
I feel the same way when I try to tell my friends and family about the macro environment in the US and to invest in crypto. I have been banging the table for such a long time, but it gets to the point where you can't say it anymore or they think you are a kook. So I stopped. Maybe I will let them come and visit me in the new homes that I am setting up around the world. There they will see the "I told you so" without my having to say a word ;).
Capitalists are being treated horrible in San Diego. You must leave so you can be treated better somewhere else. Please leave San Diego immediately. Get the word out.
You don't even need to leave the US, to find a place where you'll be treated better. California for example is for all intents and purposes hell on Earth. Simply moving to a better state will net you a much higher quality of life. Most of the people who are going to tell you that it doesn't matter where you live, you can always make the best of it, are people who have never left their parents home. They lack the capacity to move, and instead of fixing that they'd rather critique those with said capacity. If someone ever spends time hating on you, if anything pity them. That's time and energy they could spend on fixing their own lives, but instead they choose to waste it.

I think there is some value to wealthy people being mobile. I hope politicians take notice of this. In a previous video, you mentioned that you don’t follow politics. I don’t believe that is true. I believe you have to be somewhat knowledgeable about politics and sociology to benefit your clients. There is much a man can do to be more free in the United States. However, doing so requires some work, creativity and vision. How to deal with diminishing freedom in the U.S. isn’t a binary choice.
The soft freedom one gets in countries the West’s politicians like to look down on are real while the “enshrined on paper” rights we have in the West are moot because our elites don’t respect those rights. The “rule of law” in the West is only theoretical....a lot of $$$ is needed to make sure these rights are applied.

How to guess where Nomad Capitalist is without reading the location note: Toucan (or some sort of tropical bird) / Llama (or some sort of horse) -> Colombia. Anyway, agree that, even now more than ever, best to look somewhere else. Though certainly can't complain in the U.S., not every state is like NY / California. But when I find myself looking interestingly at Belarus (!) then certainly you've got to start to wonder about the state of affairs in the U.S.
I did a weekend trip across the border to Mexico a couple of months ago and it was like night and day in some cases. I kept hearing “advice” about Mexico having draconian pandemic mandates on par or more significant than the US or Canada. Guess what I found? “You do you.” The very social aspect of Mexican culture conflicted mightily with the idea of forcibly isolating yourself from your neighbors and community. One of the guys we were working with said to me “no matter what’s going on, there’s always time for football.” Geez, I found that refreshing. I’d love to internationalize in many ways, but I find myself watching videos about it more than doing something about it. *Sigh* - when will I learn.
The new fad now is getting an anytime mailbox. This service will open your mail for you and scan it for you to see if you want. They will also ship your mail to you wherever you are in the world. Get one people. Who knows where we'll be tomorrow.
Just be careful not to use that digital mailbox as a domicile address/location to lower your taxes or to avoid taxes. The US is onto those mailboxes and are pursuing people trying to cheat on thier taxes. Not saying you are doing any of that. I know at least 1 person that did that temporarily till he actually moved from one state to the other and the IRS cam after him in a big way. Tons of people are doing it that live in high tax states. Can we blame for getting a digital mailbox? No, but just be careful.

@Boy George Well, it varies from state to state, but now you have the government taking more than half of people's income in some places.
Old farm boy from GA (USA) lived 23 yrs in Prague now living in Ukraine and loving it. Only problem is I speak Czech (finally) but now I need to learn Russian (we live in the East). Got US passport, Czech permanent residence, and Ukrainian permanent residence.
Hey Mike! I am also from USA and love it in Ukraine. I am arriving in Kiev in a few days and will stay for a few months. I'm interested to know, was the permanent residence process easy enough, or challenging?
@@blademcgunn3294 Well it wasn't too bad for me as my wife is Ukrainian..
Also from GA, living in Russia now as a permanent resident. Get my RU passport in only one year thanks to new legislation.
@@mrmuffins4224 How do you like it?
@@mbiv2000 Not too bad! Plan on renouncing my US citizenship and relocating to Dubai after getting my RU pass.
Your attitude is refreshing.
As you say “democracy run amuck.” Public schools in the US is of little value if you wan’t a genuine education.” Democracy among the illiterate isn’t workable. We WERE a Constitutional REPUBLIC. Constitutional monarchy is a good second choice.
In UK, in the past year, a phrase that was used previously has featured more in conversation regarding the whole nonsense that is strangling trade and society. This phrase seems to be the expression of so many people who don't want to rock any boats and are willing to just carry on accepting tyranny
"It is what it is". How inane and how cowardly have people become?
I liked how direct you were in this video. That’s refreshing.
Andrew, is that your pet lama? Jokes aside, the most negative people are those who have never travelled.
The more you travel, the less you hate. Simple
Unfortunately alot of people cant afford it. But I agree, travelled the world for 21 years with my job.
One of the hard lessons that life has taught me is no matter how great your current situation is, always have an out. This can be as simple as having a good contact in a country that you could stay with for a few weeks, if you absolutely needed to. Or even simpler, having a valid passport. Great content, thank you.
I fled to Serbia. It's a million times nicer than Canada is, especially because of the Covid hysteria
I did the same thing to Poland.
@Well Researched Person...Me too😉️
Canada is falling apart at warp speed. You made a great decision.
@@LeonMortgage Absolutely! And I'm Christian and conservative so it is sooo nice to be away from all the horrific liberals in Canada and to be around Godfearing people. A blessing beyond anything I could imagine, there being no Covid hysteria here is just a perk lol

You should do a video for those of us that aren't wealthy and would like to move to Mexico for retirement with small nest eggs.
I don’t even want to move somewhere, I want to not pay taxes and live on my yacht haha.
just sail in international waters. maybe run a casino or brothel on your boat to earn an extra income.
How big is your yacht? You have to berth somewhere for fuel/supplies/crew/weather etc eventually. Monaco has no taxes but a yacht berth is so expensive and there is a 2 year waiting list.
@@satyakammisra Hi, I don’t have one yet, but I am looking at something around 25 meter, it will most likely be registered in the Cayman Islands, most yachts are registered there.
Just live in Switzerland and pay the lump sum tax which varies based on Canton. Living on a Yacht is crazy expensive and impractical. The amount you would save in tax would be dwarfed by the expenses of living on a yacht out at sea.
@@gopherlee9427 I’ve been living on ships my whole life, I personally like it:)
The very interesting thing during the Covid year was that countries who had seen communism and authoritarianism in their past, like Russia and Eastern Europe, were the least authoritarian, whereas the Western European countries, bastions of democracy, were the most authoritarian and draconian countries to live in, and they showed their true colors!
Completely agree with what you say about unenforced laws and also about people not being so easily commanded in Eastern Europe. I live in Bulgaria and see this all the time.
They remember the Soviet days.
What about vaccine passports? I am not taking the jab, Andrew. I am starting to believe the establishment may take my life if I don't comply with this...and that's when you realize there is no place to run to.
I’ve been very concerned about this too but feel with the increasing amount of reporting on the injuries and death counts from the shots has led to some push back. There’s a lot of ppl that will refuse but the media spins it to look like the majority are happily running to form a line up for it. Maybe check Paul Watson’s last vid, he explains how the shot passport will fail as it is considered ray-cyst to ask minorities for id, let alone medical info! Thanks woke left for that 😉
But if you did, what is going to happen to you? Are you really so scared of one jab? If that is what it's going to take to get around the world you might as well do it and get it over with.

I'm a nomad living on a shoestring (having worked previously as a university lecturer with an abysmal salary waiting for social security). Having so little money requires one to be resourceful in securing a visa or second passport. If I had the funds, I would have bought my way to another citizenship years ago.

With all the lockdowns, protests and travel restrictions this global unrest limits options that was once there before and that’s jus being realistic....I’m African American so I really have to try and go where I’m treated at least better Asia is not happening lol.... I still have a few places in mind though.
Yes I hear you. For me, I need a place where European Christians are still valued. It’s more than just taxes for me.
Still failing to address the core two issues that prevent "going where you're treated best" anymore. Namely, (a) how can you travel now without getting forcefully injected with a dubious substance and/or without accepting to get molested with intrusive sampling protocols? And, (b) what is the NPV of a second residence/passport when the advantage of that investment might just vanish with worldwide taxation & the introduction of CBDCs within 4 years? Not making a decision in this context is not crossing your arms and blaming whoever, it's about understanding the big picture and thinking a few steps ahead. If you've got an answer to that, then I'm all ears.

I'm "stuck" in the U.S. as my wife has a long term illness and I would never take her away from her large family so I like to focus on how to make life great right here. All of this nonsense is just background noise when you live in a more rural setting, enjoying natural beauty, hobbies and friends, neighbors and family.
Im stuck too. We all make choices and then we have to live with them. I made some choices that I wish I could undue. Hindsight is 20/20. Im sorry that your wife is ill, hang in there and pray.
@@kellyname5733 Thank you.
Yeah but you’re talking about a year ago!! How about future trends! This guy’s delusional and greedy, he’s about to have no business at all. Where could we possibly go?? Everywhere is the same..
Great video Andrew and I totally agree. I've been trying to convince my parents that moving overseas is the answer and I am getting the same excuses from them. It's frustrating. I will go by myself if I have too (I'm Aussie so have to wait till borders open anyways), but it seems that no matter how much they complain about where Australia is going, they will find an excuse as to why it would be somehow worse overseas. Worse is when they also do what you said, they see one scarebait newspeice on some country overseas and act like that country is in total chaos, yet when the exact same things happen here it's brushed off as the fault of individuals and doesn't reflect on Australia. It's such a dumb mindset.
I moved to Aus from another country but this totalitarianism I see creeping in is not good. My family want to stay in Aus but I'd love to live elsewhere. I'm hearing you, Mate.
Would you please make a video about these crazy GLOBAL taxes that some leaders in the US are proposing?
What you mean? There is already global taxes... US taxes based on worldwide income. Even if you live elsewhere, you owe US tax based on your bracket and etc.
@@stopthecap2644 so if you live and pay tax in another country, you still owe tax to the US as well?
@@jbennison5672 Yes. No freedom for Americans.
@@jbennison5672 Evan called it. Yep, if you're living in another country and paying taxes, you're still required to file taxes and pay US tax based on your income level regardless of where it came from. Additionally, you have to ensure you have the proper forms and etc and there can be some big headaches or the US will attempt to double tax you rather then give credit for the tax you paid in your current country.... it's the delta. So if you pay UAE 0%, but you're in a 34% bracket, you owe 34% to US. That's why it's such a big deal especially for business owners
So if the tax rate in the country you are moving too is 20%, you need to pay 14% to the USA? (Assuming a 34% Tax rate)
I’m guessing this video was birthed from reading the comments section from previous vids. Great ideas for new videos but you gotta deal with the idiots. Trolls gonna troll, Andrew.

You are so right about Chile. It became succesful because of Pinochet's economical liberties, but now the country is facing a brutal marxist attack. I stopped investing here and will leave.
Thank you for your videos.. I live in the US, but I have another passport, and working in another one with my wife. I do not have yet the resources to move around with my family, but getting there. I am building a digital business to have a digital life. I feel that having an online business is the solution for most, and of course, also investing in real estate around the world. Forget about finding jobs.
Hi Andrew, perhaps your topic today was fueled by negative comments in previous videos? What I'd like to say is don't even give them the time of day. Although it's good motivational material for some of the procrastinators among us, you never need to explain yourself to the naysayers. As a leader by example your advice is already well accepted by many. Perhaps we don't make as much noise as the complainers; Nevertheless those of us looking to actually implement some of your ideas appreciate your outlook and opinions.
Every country has its own propaganda. USA does too of course. Andrew is right! Don’t assume you’ve got it the best just coz you live in xxx (name the country), much better to diversify or move every few years.
Those people who claim such nonsense are the very same guys who live in the same town or village all their lives doing the same thing everyday. And yes Hong Kong is just fine. Thousand times better than living in 90% of the Western world

Too much highlighting of the chesticals.
My wife and I have no property, no investments, no savings, and we earn all of our little income online, we have not been jabbed (we refuse to get vaccinated) yet we have just moved to the second country in the past year - have residency in one of the two countries (apart from the country we came from), and we plan to purchase a property within the next year (and pay it off) to rent out on airbnb. And we have no mentor or received any guidance from anyone. We live in faith and use plain old common sense.

AA retired mom & working daughter going this summer to Africa for the first time (Ghana). However, I'm looking forward to departing US eventually (daughter feels the same way but must keep on working). Background:
Baby boomer, grew up in mid-west, joined military, moved to CA & haved loved the last 40 years of it. But now?These past 7-8 years? Not any more. I'm done looking over my shoulder whenever I get in my car. 3x my husband and I were arrested/car impounded/ jailed overnight & released the next day without ANY charges.
No expired tags, license, proof of insurance; no illegal contraband; no speeding; no running stop signs/red traffic lights; no illegal turns; no back talk; not even failing to wear seat belts; just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In our last arrest we got a lawyer & sued for deprivation of rights /due process violation, etc,.
Six years later we're now in settlement with LA sherriff's dept. I am a disabled veteran with service-connected ptsd & I gotta get outta here ya'll.
P.S. When single never taken to jail for a minor traffic stop - got issued a ticket & allowed to go on my way and if I felt I didn't deserve it I would go to court and fight it - 50/50 success btw. Since I married (raised daughter to adulthood as a single mother) I can't count how many times I've been pulled over with my AA spouse and almost never cited. Ain't that something?

Excellent information and advice. Andrew, have you made a video about the "freeest countries " in terms of personal liberties? It is one thing to have a lower tax rate, which is great, but to be as free as possible may have even more value. Thank you.

One thing is to find the place where you are treated best. Another thing is having to find the place where you are treated least badly. Diversification is great. Whining is useless. But the bar is getting lower and lower.
Americans who want to leave America.... then looks for a country that is pretty much America with a different flag. FAIL
There isn't a better time to run than now. With so much instability and economic problems in the world due to COVID, you need to make sure that you have multiple options moving forward regardless of your net worth
Mexico, where we spend our winter's, is a great place to be. Low costs, wonderful people, excellent weather. Sadly, we have to head back north to Canada soon. If we didn't HAVE to be there in person, we'd stay here for sure! Thanks for your videos Andrew.
I'm "stuck" in Brazil laughing my ass off of canadians who, unlike me, could not come by thinking Canada is a great country... no rush whatsoever to return
No scenario is perfect. There isbalways a tradeoff. Make the best of it and don't stress over things you can't change
For me, the only place left in the world is rural Japan. Low property taxes, safe neighborhoods, no third world's. Healthy food that does cause cancer. Beautiful people and language.
Andrew thanks! I'm not 7 figures. Have been and will be again. However I like my America but we are actively planning to move to a US State where we can grow our own food and be surrounded by other Patriots.

I feel the same way when I try to tell my friends and family about the macro environment in the US and to invest in crypto. I have been banging the table for such a long time, but it gets to the point where you can't say it anymore or they think you are a kook. So I stopped. Maybe I will let them come and visit me in the new homes that I am setting up around the world. There they will see the "I told you so" without my having to say a word ;).

Capitalists are being treated horrible in San Diego. You must leave so you can be treated better somewhere else. Please leave San Diego immediately. Get the word out.
You don't even need to leave the US, to find a place where you'll be treated better. California for example is for all intents and purposes hell on Earth. Simply moving to a better state will net you a much higher quality of life.
Most of the people who are going to tell you that it doesn't matter where you live, you can always make the best of it, are people who have never left their parents home. They lack the capacity to move, and instead of fixing that they'd rather critique those with said capacity. If someone ever spends time hating on you, if anything pity them. That's time and energy they could spend on fixing their own lives, but instead they choose to waste it.

There is much a man can do to be more free in the United States. However, doing so requires some work, creativity and vision. How to deal with diminishing freedom in the U.S. isn’t a binary choice.
so where DO you live now? South Korea? Malaysia? Colombia? ??? where is that great, free country?
Great advice, having real options gives you more freedom.
Plz talk about the great reset
Andrew, time to retire that sweater ;). You can afford it! :). Love your channel and love your philosophy.
The soft freedom one gets in countries the West’s politicians like to look down on are real while the “enshrined on paper” rights we have in the West are moot because our elites don’t respect those rights. The “rule of law” in the West is only theoretical....a lot of $$$ is needed to make sure these rights are applied.

How to guess where Nomad Capitalist is without reading the location note: Toucan (or some sort of tropical bird) / Llama (or some sort of horse) -> Colombia. Anyway, agree that, even now more than ever, best to look somewhere else. Though certainly can't complain in the U.S., not every state is like NY / California. But when I find myself looking interestingly at Belarus (!) then certainly you've got to start to wonder about the state of affairs in the U.S.
Conflict is the very air we breathe. The battle is joined when we’re born. It ends when we die. Enjoy the ride.
I did a weekend trip across the border to Mexico a couple of months ago and it was like night and day in some cases. I kept hearing “advice” about Mexico having draconian pandemic mandates on par or more significant than the US or Canada. Guess what I found? “You do you.” The very social aspect of Mexican culture conflicted mightily with the idea of forcibly isolating yourself from your neighbors and community. One of the guys we were working with said to me “no matter what’s going on, there’s always time for football.” Geez, I found that refreshing.
I’d love to internationalize in many ways, but I find myself watching videos about it more than doing something about it. *Sigh* - when will I learn.

The new fad now is getting an anytime mailbox. This service will open your mail for you and scan it for you to see if you want. They will also ship your mail to you wherever you are in the world. Get one people. Who knows where we'll be tomorrow.
Just be careful not to use that digital mailbox as a domicile address/location to lower your taxes or to avoid taxes. The US is onto those mailboxes and are pursuing people trying to cheat on thier taxes. Not saying you are doing any of that. I know at least 1 person that did that temporarily till he actually moved from one state to the other and the IRS cam after him in a big way. Tons of people are doing it that live in high tax states. Can we blame for getting a digital mailbox? No, but just be careful.
Im getting my citizenship in North Korea, leaving America. Im excited, soft freedom, great food 😋 No foreign interference. Talk about being in a place where I'm welcomed !!
