You know I’ve been bullish on Panama for years. Long-term, Panama will be one of the main global business hubs, competing with Singapore and Dubai… All in all, Panama is a country where you should consider “planting a flag.” Panama uses the U.S. dollar, so you won’t get any currency diversification, but for many people [...]
Renting out a property that you also use can be complicated. The Paris 2024 Olympics reminded me of this. A friend in Paris swapped apartments with someone they know. They wanted to be out of the city during the games, while their friend wanted to be in the thick of things. He’s an Olympic-holic who [...]
Why would anyone want to “go offshore” anyway? That’s a question I ask myself at this time of year, as I put the final touches on the program for my annual Offshore Wealth Summit. The event takes place this year on October 16 to 18 in Porto, Portugal. I like reminding myself why I do [...]
Spain should be near the top of your list for a retirement or second home destination. The lifestyle is fantastic… the cost of living is relatively low… the cost of properties is reasonable… and the language is fairly familiar. Spain, in fact, was my first overseas destination, years before my wife and I finally settled [...]
Last week as shots rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. came within an inch of all-out chaos. Then came the CrowdStrike computer crash which grounded flights and downed systems in hospitals, emergency services, banks, governments, schools, and more around the world. Now, Biden has declared himself out of the running in the presidential race [...]

But considering the current state of affairs in the United States... the divisive political atmosphere... the cost of daily life and medical care... the overall lack of safety... the tone of the [...]
Recently, a reader wrote to me to ask whether she should buy property in Greece to qualify for residency under its golden visa program. She was considering the golden visa because she wanted more time in the Schengen Area than her U.S. passport allows (90 days in any 180-day period), but she had questions because [...]
Americans used to be the great movers of the world. Think of the pioneers who settled the West… traveling thousands of miles with nothing just to find a place where they could truly live free, far from the Old World governments that kept them down… looking for new opportunities on new lands because opportunities had [...]
I don’t need to remind you of the challenges of our age. Cable news in the United States has got that beat covered. Most importantly, I believe in finding opportunities and organizing your life to enjoy what the world offers. Sometimes, you may need to make some changes to do so. So, my job is [...]
Smell that? It’s the ashes of last week’s dumpster fire of a debate still smoldering… and that stench won’t clear easy. In between all the mumbling, bumbling, and name-calling, came the squabbling over inflation, immigration, abortion, and the big stuff too, like the candidates’ prowess on the golf course and elsewhere… If a tornado hit [...]
