No matter where you live or where you’re from, it’s hard to avoid the U.S. election. Whether we like it or not, whoever holds that office has tremendous power and will undoubtedly affect the geopolitical landscape over the next four years. In today’s episode, I am joined by two of my Expat Money team members, Marc Clair and Remso Martinez - who happen to be Americans and experts on U.S. politics. The three of us have a roundtable discussion about the recent election of Donald Trump and its...

Nearly everyone insures their body with health insurance or their car with auto insurance. But how do you insure yourself against the machinations of greedy politicians, taxing and regulating your hard-earned wealth away at every turn? This is exactly where an offshore Plan-B comes into play. In today’s episode,  I share with you a recent conversation I had with my friend Tom Bodrovics on his show Palisades Gold Radio. I explain exactly why an international Plan-B is vital for anyone looking...

Living off-grid doesn’t have to mean “barely getting by” and going without our favourite life amenities.

He is the CEO and one of the founders of EcoVillages and VidaVerde AgroForestry. Through his work at EcoVillages, he has founded Veritas Village Panama, a luxury off-grid community outside...

Huge news broke regarding Panama’s Investor Visa this week, as the investment minimum will now remain at $300K, pausing the previously planned increase to $500K for at least two years.

After nearly six weeks of travel, followed by the Expat Money Summit right when we got back, a whole lot of news stories have been...

With stock markets crashing, record inflation, and soaring global debt, more people than ever are coming to realize that the key to growing their wealth lies in owning tangible assets. The Expat Money Show audience, in particular, is wiser to this idea than the average person, and that’s why I knew this past weekend’s webinar would be a huge hit.

“Why Panama?” I get this question every day, especially in a world where the word “expat” is still often associated with countries like the UAE, Portugal, Singapore, and others. It was not an easy decision, and it was not one my wife and I took lightly. When we decided to leave the UAE several years ago, we spent countless hours debating the pros and cons of several countries before deciding on Panama. Since I get this question so often, I decided that this week, I would share with you a...

It seems like every day, a Private Client or subscriber to our newsletter asks me about El Salvador. I can’t say I necessarily blame them; with everyone Bukele has done, from turning around the violent crime situation to legalizing Bitcoin, there are plenty of reasons for expats to take an interest in the direction of this emerging Latin American country. But having not been to El Salvador myself for twenty-some-odd years, I decided to take a long weekend trip down there to meet up with a...

Why are the wealthy leaving the U.S. in droves? Why did the country of Dominica revoke 68 passports from its’ CBI program? Are Russia and China preparing for a World War 3 scenario?

I’ll answer these questions and more as we dive into the headlines in today’s expat news segment, the fourth edition of this segment I’ve done on the show.

There is a centralized revolution occurring in health care, and now the concept of voluntary health sharing has emerged as a new avenue that freedom-minded expats can use to protect themselves and their families in the event of unexpected injury or illness. That's what today's guest, Andy Schoonover, joins me to discuss. Andy is the CEO and founder of CrowdHealth.

An off-grid community full of freedom-minded families and individuals situated in Panama’s highlands within an hour of the beach? This isn’t just a dream; it’s the reality I unveiled in yesterday’s episode, in which my friend Patrick Hiebert joined me to put Veritas Panama on full display.

Freedom-minded folks like you and I can often feel isolated in a world where so many people are affected by socialist propaganda, the woke mind virus, or whatever you want to call it. Can you really count on your neighbours when they think your views are “nutty” or that your concerns about world events make you a “conspiracy theorist?” In today’s episode, I am excited to present you with a solution to this problem: Veritas Panama, an off-grid community living development in the highlands of...

Is a decentralized revolution occurring in El Salvador? That's exactly what today's guest, Dr. Jack Kruse, who currently lives and practices medicine in El Salvador and has served as an advisor to Nayib Bukele, joins me to discuss. Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon, had an awakening in 2007 when he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee at 6’2”, 357 lbs. This led to his further study of physics, light, magnetism, and electricity, ultimately concluding that modern medicine lacked a deep...
