    This really works! A year ago, I was a blue collar worker in America with a 5 figure net worth. I spent years of my life saving up for a house in my home state and watched the prices inflate to well over half a million dollars over the past year. I decided to take Andrew's advice and moved to Tbilisi, Georgia. I've been here since December and am currently in the middle of buying my first home in the capital and I don't even have to break the bank to do it! Praise to you Mr. Henderson!

      Mr. Hardrock, there is much truth to your statement regarding our "things" imprisoning us. When our family and friends witnessed us (US family of three) retire very early, liquidate everything we owned and move to where we are treated best,... one of the preeminent statements/concerns/barriers they cited when pondering such a major move,... was,... and continues to be,... "what would I do with all my stuff?" There are many legitimate reasons moving out of one's country may not be reasonable, e.g. ailing parents, grandchildren you wish to live near, business operations that require your physical presence, etc, etc,.... but,..... "what would I do with all my stuff?" is a stark and sad reminder of how materialistic most of western culture actually is.
      Further to your point,... once we had rid ourselves of all our "stuff" (short of a few boxes we shipped ahead),... we spent two years traveling 11 countries on the most grand "field trip" with our 5 yr old daughter,... all while technically being "homeless"! Lol! It really is liberating when one is not hobbled with "stuff".

    I have lived outside of the U.S. for about five years. I do travel a lot, but Tirana, Albania is my summer base of operations. While my income is much higher, my Tirana monthly budget is 1,000 USD. I don't need it to be higher. I rent a very nice furnished 1BR apartment in the best part of the city. It isn't large. It's kind of like a nice hotel suite (except it has a dining area and kitchen), a nice balcony. I have a maid who comes in one time per week who does my laundry and cleans the apartment. My diet is not income constrained and runs about 250USD per month. When I want to go to a restaurant, I do. As to my income, it is pension and writing.
    As to when I moved, I sold almost everything, mostly through Craig's List, and left with one checked suitcase and a carry-on. Once I established a base of operations, which was furnished, I did start to buy some 'stuff'. My income is increasing, but, honestly, even with unlimited income, I doubt I could spend more than about 3,000 USD per month here and that would include a full time maid.
    I understand that you cater to 7 figure+ clients, it is sensible to pay attention to the lower income guys. Once they get on the Internet, move to a more sensible locale, some of them will become members of your 7 figure+ market.

    I moved from US to Malta, where I have citizenship by descent. I did the research and bought plane tickets far in advance, on a credit card. Denver to London and London to Malta, with 4 nights in a hostel in London, a few more in Malta. About $500 total, including a checked bag. I am not kidding. I live on a Social Security check $1,100 monthly and had no savings and nothing I could sell. Just timed it so I could rent a room in someone else's flat when my next check came. Now, I am renting a flat. Life is much better here than it ever was in the US.

    in canada if you purchased a home anywhere from 6 years ago or more, you're sitting on likely double your purchase price. my brother purchased his home for $275,000CAD and its currently valued at $850,000 and that was 8 years ago roughly. nearly $600,000 in a country where you need $2000 a month to live comfortably goes quite a long way. But living in canada, making 100K+ per year makes you very much NOT wealthy.

  • @jolly7728
    @jolly7728 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    In theory, this makes sense. The best idea in this video is to shop around. Visit countries where you might want to move to. Very important, and that's because a lot of places you'll likely find strange, from language barriers and customs and culture to simply their way of doing things. Things you might not like could include, for instance, drivers who don't stop for pedestrians, pedestrians who spit on the sidewalks or stand too close when talking to you, the way people chew their food, and the list goes on. Packing your bags and getting a plane ticket are of course easy first steps, but the more difficult stuff is figuring out the vibe of the new destination. For some reason, travel advocates tend to paint a rosy picture of lower cost of living, lower taxes, beautiful beaches, warm weather, good food, and so on. But pay attention to things that people do and the way they do them. And being a tourist won’t give you a complete picture. A place is only as good as the people there -- the way they behave with you and each other. Play the devil’s advocate and ask yourself a lot of “what if” questions about things that could go wrong. Does the country have a written constitution? What are your rights if you get arrested there? It can be scary moving from the familiar to the unknown. Be very careful, and make sure you have many good reasons to leave, so you don’t jump from one place you disliked to another place that could be worse. All countries have problems. The ones that’ll treat you the best will likely be the ones with the best set of laws, and even this is no guarantee. How much do you know about a country’s system of laws, their history, stability, and their treatment of foreigners? There’s much more to consider than one short video could cover. Do your homework. Becoming an expatriate is a huge lifestyle change. You need facts and not generalities so you'll know exactly what you're getting yourself into.

    Andrew & Co,
    Thank you for all of the videos you have made, and especially for this one. As a retired divorcee with a 5 figure income, I will probably never be a formal customer of your company. But through watching your videos over the past few years, I have been motivated to make some steps towards having options.
    In a nutshell, until recently I only had US Citizenship. Because of your videos and suggestions, I have obtained UK Citizenship by descent. I am now focusing on gathering the paperwork necessary to also pursue Croatian Citizenship by descent. Either of those may not be the most glamorous or powerful passports to have, but they give me options that I didn't have before.
    AND, it didn't cost me a lot of money to get those options. It wasn't free, but it doesn't costs thousands to do.
    I may never actually use any of the above to move elsewhere. But having them as options just in case, gives me some real peace of mind.
    Thank you, Andrew.

Even with traveling to stay at a different Airbnb each month until finding our current place, our family of four adults live on about a grand a month. Three of us have the luxury of dual citizenship but one of our family members doesn’t, we’re applying for his residence but even overstaying his visa was only a $30 fee. Depending on where you go it’s also extremely safe, contrary to popular American belief.

    Great advice. We have more freedom than we think. It is not easy to pack up and leave, especially if you have family. I tried moving abroad and lived there for 4 years. Good times with it's own struggles. I returned back to the US though. My main reasons were: my kids wanted to be in their home and in their school, I was not able to find an online work in the US being abroad (during covid time), and I wanted to try living in the US again. So far so good, but I do miss the freedom and planning to move abroad when I'm an empty nester. I definitely recommend everyone to try living abroad. If you come back, most likely you can start your life where you left it. In my situation, I rented out my house, so it was really just coming back home. On the side note, I was an emigrant in the US, so moving to another country is not as scary for me. Anyway, traveling is the least you can do.

    Andrew, excellent video as always, but...I disagree with your entire premise. I've been in Panama for 15 years, and I basically "jumped ship" from Canada back in 2006. My exit was not properly planned, and I suffered the consequences. Over the years, I've seen many, many people do this. They leave with whatever they have, and don't have a sufficient income stream to support themselves in their adopted country. Many times, they've put all their money in real estate, or in a variery of "investment scams" (wood or fruit plantation revenue sharing scams were a big one in Panama)...and then find themselves in a very difficult situation. Real estate can be very illiquid, so a "quick sale" is just not gonna happen. Running away from your country of origin is a sure way to screw up your expatriation. This needs to be done slowly, step by step, with several onsite visits. "Internet research" is useless....you need to be on the ground, living the life of an expat before committing. Cultural adaptation, learning the language - these are key to being able to enjoy your life abroad. I recommend to always rent for a year before purchasing. Most people don't make it as expats - for a variety of reasons, they end up going back after about 2-3 years. Many return home poorer and embittered.

    I retired young on a low budget. Nice places I've experienced living in or at least lingering in:
    San Christobal Mexico is the cheapest
    Oaxaca Mexico is better bang for your buck, and almost as cheap.
    Puerto Escondito area (south coast of) Mexico if you want beach and or surfing.
    Antigua, Guatemala, the most english, but loads of woke american expats.
    Bogota Colombia, best big city (better air and cheaper than mex city).
    In Europe, Belgrade Serbia I only visitted, but very cheap, loads of english, and nice place. Would be my top pick in Europe

    No need to get fancy folks! And if you’re an American, no need to get exotic either. Years ago I saw what was coming to NYC where I lived all my life, and started investing in real estate in Florida, and I’ve never looked back. I considered Malta and Portugal but discarded these ideas because God knows what can happen in Europe (just look at Ukraine). As for Latin America, well, the poverty and inequality just turned me off. So while I still have property in NYC, I spend most of my time and am domiciled in Florida… and I’m not rich. I cut my overhead in half, said goodbye to punitive state income taxes, and waved farewell to Yankee insanity… and believe me, NY has become an insane place. So don’t ignore the possibility of staying in the USA. As far as I’m concerned this is still the best country on Earth!

    I would say "yes" and "no" to this. In some ways, yes. It's cheap to leave. Get a passport and then a bus ticket across the border for less than $100. But in other ways, no. What you completely skipped in this video is "the day 91 problem." In most cases, only your first 90 days are visa-free. In the first 90 days, you must either apply for a digital nomad visa, or find a local employer who is not only willing to hire you, but also willing to sponsor a work permit. You can then apply for a residence permit on the basis of the work permit. This is the "day 91 problem" which may require you to hire local lawyers and pay over $1000 just for permission to remain in-country. So overall, it may be easy to leave your country, but difficult to arrive in another country.
