- 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.

I Live Better In Tbilisi Than I Did In The US - Here’s How Much It Costs | Relocated
Why is every digital nomad’s job running a business that teaches other people to be a digital nomad?
Exactly, people selling courses earn 50 times more on those courses than on the actual thing they teach in them :) We are at the point where everyone wants to teach and no one wants to do an actual work, and that will change very soon.
selling the dream is more profitable than the actual dream

@@kvgolfa Mike here...I really appreciate the comments ;-) and yes, it can be pretty meta at some times! My intentions are to help inspire, impact and educate millions of people on a alternative path in life (period) and I'll be the first to admit its not for everyone. I've funded my travels with a variety of different physical, remote jobs and of course through my own businesses...and my book is only a tiny % of my 6 sources of income.

If your income is in dollars or euros, then Georgia is a good place to live but if your income is in GEL, then it is terribly difficult to live here. It is much more difficult for locals to live in Georgia than for foreigners. That is why Europe and America are full of Georgian immigrants.
I think the same is true for almost every country in the world except the US and some European countries. You can travel any Asian or African country and you will be rich with your salary. But locals don’t have your salary from developed country.
This is the case for most non Western countries. A Western European or American will be rich regardless whether they move to South America, Africa, or most places in Asia.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn which I myself took advantage of. I made my first million from going diverse, mainly ETFs(stocks, bonds etc), bitcoin , and gold. I'm also working on an investment plan that includes NFTs with my advisor, Katie Haun . It's been a year and half of steady growth.

Even though I cringed every time he pronounced Tbilisi, seeing the city warms my heart, I taught English in Georgia some years ago. Tbilisi is fairly cosmopolitan city in a developing country but the people are wonderful the food is delicious. And as an African American woman I felt very safe living there. The only thing I don't miss about it is how cold it gets.

@@megipapiashvili6742 👋 Hi there, I really hope to get back there sometime in the near future. 🙏

@David S. is this comment necessary? Am I exaggerating or are you trying to be rude? There are many great people in the so called “hoods”. Easy to oversimplify the situation that has been created by severe economic and racial problems.
as an Argentinian who lived there 4 months before the pandemic, I agree with everything you said! And here I am looking for videos like this one because I miss it!
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.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
The stock market rally run is gone, but I'm not
sure if equities will swiftly recover, keep falling, or fluctuate in a narrow range for a few weeks, or if things will quickly get worse. I'm under pressure to increase my $300k reserve.
Making touch with financial advisors like Kimberly Kent who can assist you restructure your portfolio, would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.
I agree with you! With her help, I diversified my 450k portfolio among different markets. During this bearish market period, I was able to produce a net profit of little over $1 million from high dividend yield stocks, ETFs and equity. However, the reality is that you cannot do it without a tried-and-true trading coach like Kimberly Kent
Her success story is everywhere. I keep on hearing expert Mrs Kimberly's name being mentioned here and other platforms, Does she really worth the credits and reviews?

Was looking for this comment. I hate when "digital nomads" falsely mislead people into thinking life in x country is soo much better when they aren't actual citizens of that country or make the average wage of that country's citizens. 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.

Having a job that pays 275K$ a year in USA and living there also makes one’s life easier but with that amount of salary (income) and living in Tibilisi of course makes one living in a heaven :)
You could buy a 2 houses in a year with that salary lmao
In Georgia if you have 500$ income a month you will live very well but there is not much to do compared to US or other developed country
I loved the video! Lots of great information about working and living abroad. So sorry about the loss of your mother Mike!
Honestly leaving the states is a real option I’m thinking about. The US is just too costly.
So a friend of mine in north Austin gets a letter saying their home was now appraised at. 900 k from 450 k last yr. She's retired on a fixed income. This new evaluation bumps her property tax to. 21 k a yr after the homestead act which lowered the over tax bill to. 750k. She is shiitake a brick right now. This is how governments are treating it's citizens. They are running us our of this country. I have been looking elsewhere, maybe uraguay, Asia, eastern Europe. In the u.s they are pushing those who aren't high income earners into either tornado alley or the desert, American southwest in coming years.
You can live in the US on 275k quite nicely too.

Too many people want to manage other people doing stuff for them and then taking a cut. That kind of business thinking will lead to everyone wanting to manage and no one wanting to work, it's already hard to find people with actual skills.
local tax rate doesn't matter if you make over 100k because US citizens gotta pay to IRS no matter where they live
Yeah that's true that's why savy wealthy entrepreneurs are renouncing their American citizenship (look it up on youtube)

You might not have a hundred million dollars to invest, but that doesn’t mean your money can’t share in the same opportunities available to others. You work hard for your money; make sure your money works hard for you.
The wealth you pass to the next generation can have a profound impact on your heirs, providing educational opportunities, the capital to start a business, or financial support to your grandchildren.
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.

Also, every picture I see of the "Good Life" in Georgia shows the sun drenched beaches, with cool looking people in lounge chairs chilling. But they never show the real chill days when it snow there. It gets stupid cold in Georgia!
Yay so glad to see some coverage of Georgia! Lived there in 2012-2014 for Peace Corps and had intended to live there afterwards but had to move back to the US for personal reasons. Georgians are incredible people and I absolutely fell in love with the culture.
I agree. As the SDE from Georgia, I receive a lot of offers to relocate to different countries and I always reject such offers because, living in my country is very cheap and taxes are also very low, so I'm able to collect money easily. Anyway, Georgia has one of the best nature in the world, so come and see it.

I'll have to revisit that idea again....it's either Georgia or Latvia is what I'm looking at....

Tbilisi rent prices went up like 2.5x after the invasion and subsequent sanctions in Russia and the following swift banking shut down. Nevertheless, Tbilisi Georgia seems like an absolutely beautiful city. Sincerely hope Russia does not start claiming all the citizens are WW2 Bad guys and try to destroy it.
But what is an ugly city if you have a rain forest for example in some central american countries the cities are not so nice but the nature and everything else blows tiblisi completely out of the water I mean if wanted to live in city i live in london berlin tokyo not tiblisi.

So this type of people outsource their income from already wealthy people in wealthy countries, come to countries where taxes are low, contribute very little to the local economy and local social life as they don't integrate, speak only english. 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. Digital nomads are a pain, if you want to move to another country you gotta bring something for the place, not just take from it
You are absolutely right
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.
This is the most pointless thing I've read all day.
I actually don't see a problem with this. As long as you have money, you can live a great life in Georgia, not sure why it would matter to "integrate". you can always have friends from your own country
Do you think it would be any different for any foreigner in say, Norway, Sweden, Germany, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel...etc? They're exactly the same.
Georgians was a 3.5 million in country and 15% of this 3.5 million was Azeri or Armenian. Most Georgians lives in other countrys because of historic pacts. Now imagine if we accept all foreiginers as a georgian. If we did this georgians can destroy their own identity. Only in china's one street lives more people than in all Georgia. We don't can accept everyone in this globalization era.

Georgia is not safe considering long term. 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)

With $250k a year you can live good in Missouri, even in Florida and you don’t have to move to a still developing country.
Tbilisi is way cooler though
Lol. Missouri, or a cool hip city with hot women. Hmmm. So tough.
Missouri sound lame
@@soupdrinker Missouri is very lame
Um,a single guy in NYC or San Fran can live well on 275k a year. 🙄
Mike hope to meet you in Tbilisi 🤩🤩🤩😍😍 I been there before I watched ur video cx
Good for you!
Did this guy become rich by just telling people how to become rich and a digital nomad? lmao scam city
This guy's footage can be found on Canva as stock footage. I thought he looked super familiar lol.
haha yeah, I have a lot of footage/photos on UnSplash (connected via Canva)! :-)
Really enjoyed this. So inspiring as someone going towards the same route!!! 👏🏾
Appreciate the comment and support! 🙏🏻
@@MikeSwigunski You are a joke
I was waiting for the Nomad Capital ad to pop up during this video.
Thank you for this video. This was actually one of the countries on my list! I am from Hawaii and I want to escape the high cost of living however I heard 🇹🇷 has better value for your buck compared to 🇬🇪 however I am discovering other value countries like Argentina, some gulf state counties and Taiwan
All great choices!!! 👍
Don’t move to Taiwan. Not when China is ready for war.
Malaysia, Phillipines, Turkey
You are really in love with yourself
Swigggyy!!! Love the life you're living!
Appreciate it my man, looking forward to crossing paths soon…hopefully in Spain! 🇪🇸
Hey Jimmy, hey Swig!
More of this please
If he were really wealthy, he would live where he wanted. It is really cheap there because the people are not paid well.
Extremely motivating video for those of us that are also working towards F.I.R.E.; being a digital nomad/entrepreneur, global citizen and accumulating investments/assets for financial security. Not impossible, just takes time.
Is that happiness for you? Sounds empty.
@@alp.9672 freedom sounds empty?
Fake guru
what part of 275K/year is FIRE?
Keep on keeping on. You can do it. I am, in Mérida Mexico. Eye on the prize and ignore the ignoramus. :)
All the babes in his classes. Congrats bud 👏
Best interview yet!
Thanks Ace!!! 🙏🏻
I love your videos ace! I would love to work with you one day!!!
Each and every to their own. Some are building their dreams by diving for gold in the Bering Sea out of Nome, Alaska. Others, like myself, decided to work around and include as many family members as possible. This approach has excluded wandering off to the far corners of the earth by myself; too lonely and boring.
I'm from Nairobi Kenya. Georgia is definitely a place to visit
That is exactly my dream! I would love to be a digital nomad
You can do it, now is the best time to get started! 🙏🏻
Hahahaha
Congrats, man. I'm surprised you managed to stay in shape after tons of Khinkalis and khachapuris.
Living the dream. I just want to be able to raise babies anywhere I want, sipping tea with a ton of books. 🥰🥰🥰
As someone who's from Tbilisi, it's happy to see our community becoming more diverse. We have had lots of people relocating to Georgia from all over the world. Happy that the dude's happy too. :)
Thanks so much for the kind words and so grateful to be sharing more about Georgia! 🙏🏻
Nice to meet you in tbilisi 🇬🇪 Good luck 😊
Thanks and the pleasure is all mine! 🙏🏻
Very informative!! Curious if I can live on a houseboat on a river in or near Tbilisi? Do you see ppl doing this in Georgia?
If you do this, you will be the first. But I can't imagine how you build a houseboat.
These videos aren't empowering or motivating! It's just exposing how expensive it is to live in the United States and how Americans are moving to foreign countries and driving up prices for the locals! American global gentrification at its finest.
Gentrification is good overall.
Thank you... you understand the problem. This is not something to be glamorised or encouraged. And all these pretentious "digital nomads" and crypto bros etc that basically do nothing for society are ruining so many nice affordable places.
@@Strongholdex it's really not.
@@chihirostargazer6573 It is. It is an improvement overall.
@@Strongholdex It depends on what you consider an "improvement". If you think local people getting pushed out of their own hometowns because they can't afford it anymore an improvement... and if you think only catering to the rich and saying f**k everyone else is an improvement... not sure what to say to that. I don't think that's an improvement... sounds like a greedy capitalist nightmare.
He put me straight to sleep 😴😴😴
Great story!
It looks like such a beautiful city.
I love this video. My girlfriend and I were literally talking about this night. You can move to Mexico, Georgia, etc and have a much better life for you and your children.
It's complicated, though. Language, income, etc.
No way you are considering moving to Mexico 💀. My dad gas Mexican friends and they always talk about how they never ever want to go back to mexico.
