I believe an individual should live wherever they are accepted, and happy.

I'm a libertarian - live in the way that makes you happiest. Keep the great content coming, Andrew!

This Guy RW is hilarious!! I am a Dual citizen of the US and Lebanon I have been living in Australia and New Zealand the last few years my girlfriend is from the Netherlands. I intend on renouncing my citizenship to the USA once I obtain a citizenship to another tier-A country. Why should I pay or have to report my income to the US when I don't even live there. Even with my 2nd citizen ship in Lebanon I have to report my information to the US. If I marry my current girlfriend which we intend on doing why would she need to report her personal information to the IRS she has never set foot in the United States. Andrew Henderson I love your videos. I am a well traveled man and so much of what you say really resonates with me. Keep the videos coming brother there are plenty of us out here who totally get what you're saying or other who want to find a way to implement the Nomad Capitalist methods.

The day you cut a 100K check to the federal government for them to blow, you will understand the concept of going where you're treated best. I get it. Waiting on the wife to come aboard.

If paying 39.6% federal tax is patriotic... then I guess I’m not patriotic 🤷🏽‍♂️

Still blows my mind to hear many people still think their taxes pay for teachers and police.

Look up George Carlins definition of the American Dream. It speaks volumes to us that are awake.

Very intelligent talk Andrew, do not worry about ignorant individuals like the one left the comment there for your renunciation of the US citizenship. They are hurting themselves and they don’t even know it nor have a intelligence to understand it. We are living in a world where anyone individuals can go and live and work when they suits them.

Some people have a higher tolerance for tyranny than others. The thing is, in the case of the boiling frog... How does one not notice that the water in the slave plantation known as the United States is exponentially getting warmer? I wish I could escape. One thing Andrew, I so appreciate the emotional intelligence that you exhibited. Kudos brother.

45 years old, living in the 5th country now. I feel so sorry for all you patriots :D

Good for you, Andrew! Your renouncing video is heartfelt and sincere. You live your life as a free person. That guy lives his life as a slave to an imagined community that will throw him into the pit at earliest opportunity.

Thx you! You inspire me. I'm a Brazilian and I don't like the culture here... I have a sensation that I don't belong... I don't feel Brazilian. But you showed me that I don't need to follow the American dream! There are people moving out of the U.S. I don't wanna follow the masses and go to Canada/US/Europe. Instead I wanna be and invest in a forgotten but promising country that has a lot of potential!

“Maybe you should just be forced to stay in the country of your birth and pay taxes there” Thank god this isn’t the case. I grew up in zimbabwe and I don’t think they’d even let us return if we wanted to.

I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and have watched over a dozen of your videos, you opened my eyes and my mind to reality. Thank you for what you do.

You are totally right, paying 50% income tax + other taxes is akin to slavery.

American Citizens cannot open a Bank account in many swiss Banks even if you are married to a Swiss woman and holding a permanent Residency permit ... As soon as the bankers hear that you are American Citizen their fast answer is We are sorry we cannot open a Bank account for you... It happened to me after visiting 5 Swiss banks.. Blue passport is not what it used to be 20 or 30 years ago...

Pretty solid Bernie Sanders impression👍🏼

Taxation has become oppressive to many people. Its caused me to be far more interested in leaving the US. Google or apple can not pay taxes, but the little guy gets hammered.

It sounds like the man who posted those comments is uninformed, jealous, and is not ambitious.

I can't thank you enough Andrew, for starting all of this. It has opened up my eyes. thank you.

That R.W. Sounds typical guy who hasnt done anything in life and must be bit stupid not to do anything. Great content Andrew!

A few years ago I told a few people I plan to move to New Zealand, away from South Africa. This made one older established lady colleague furious. Kept calling me traitor. Less than 2 months later they were robbed twice, mal-treated horribly for a few hours. Am now in New Zealand, and, way better than where I come from!

"Anarchist countries like Norway" - You made me crack in laughter, thanks :) "Forms this big" - Sorry, but we have to file forms that big just to make an extension on our house.

the us legal/ police system is about the scariest in the world...I have seen "Making a murderer."

Nation-states. These are our new gods. These are what define us. I think it's all a matter of how people consider nation-states and how they elevated this concept way above religion. Everywhere in the world, and also in western countries, the state is sacred. The state is somehow the new god. You can pretty much disrespect religions, burn bibles or kurans, but in our current paradigm, you can't disrespect the state symbols or you may get into trouble with the judiciary. The nation-state has taken the place of religion and disrespecting them is blasphemy. Hence, as in the old ages, the nomads are the new disbelievers we should burn at the stake in this new paradigm: no, the state is not that important. Yes, one can change, swap, or even be part of multiple nations, and maybe even not a single one. Andrew, you are facing hard reactions because you are simply attacking what define people, you are attacking their religion, you are attacking their god, the nation, and as people came to see their countries as extensions of themselves, you are attacking THEM. I really enjoyed this explainer video of the New York Times on how people cherish and almost worship their state, and yes, this idea is extremely powerful and you are fighting forces that are way stronger than anyone can imagine: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJ-heZl3293WeH0.html

I came to this country with American Dreams and am on my way out after awakening.

I was not “aware” either until I travelled. Then my eyes were opened. You are right on. The way things are going now I don’t belong here.

"HOW DARE YOU BE GREEDY AND NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO ME!" (total sarcasm) It does blow my mind that the commenting leech doesn't even realize he himself is the leech. He calls Andrew (the host who doesn't want his blood sucked out against his will) a "leech" because he got out of a leech infested pond. Or as Thomas Sowell said : “I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.”

Love many of the comments here, actually I identify myself with many of them, living abroad is such a wonderful experience, but for locals w/o these experiences it is really difficult to imagine how is life beyond their places. The human race has an amazing variety and I want to experience it. For me the worst question is "Where are you from?" It is like people want to put you stickers and when they see that you don't fit it is really confusing for them :) Thank you Andrew, I love the way you talk about your experiences, that makes me follow your channel. BTW, Midwest is not that bad ;) I loved driving (Indiana, Michigan, Ohio) and seeing huge fields and with the snow, what a wonderful view! Blessings.

This RW guy sounds like someone very un-worldly and boring to talk to.

“I’ve put a lot of videos on how to live a leach traitorous life” hehehe I just died lol 😂

I have some friends who think this. They’re really nationalist (not US) but otherwise they’re fun people to be around. One thing they always tell me is, if I’m here, then I MUST commit to this society. I ask them: Why? First of all I just GOT here a few years ago and for NOW, I like living here. I move countries a lot. Should I have made 100% commitment to every country Iv’e ever been in? Honestly it just sounds like you want to milk me for money as soon as I land (this country has a bankrupt social system, like most in the West. Oh and the speaker was unemployed when he said that to me and collecting benefits). I’ve been called “the ideal immigrant” before. I’m great at languages and have a graduate degree in STEM. Even the fact that my friends immediately they deserve something from me, beyond what I’m giving to the country, when in the grand scheme of things I’ve barely LANDED, makes me kind of cynical. Your country hasn’t committed to ME so what incentive do I have to commit. Want proof? I don’t have citizenship! Not that I’m necessarily complaining. I haven’t done my BEST to obtain citizenship because honestly I’m not sure I WANT it. But that very fact is proof that your country is as unsure about ME as I am unsure about IT and in the mean time, while we’re deciding, let’s entering into a symbiotic relationship! You let me stay here, I pay taxes. Why does that make me a parasite? I mean if it makes things easier, just think of me as a mercenary. here today, for money and mutual benefit. Gone tomorrow. Sometimes I have real contempt for that viewpoint. Every time I hear my friends espouse these viewpoints I wonder if we should really be friends, given that they apparently think I’m a parasite. Everywhere I go people just seem so... CLOSED and localist (if that’s even a word). And as someone who grew up multicultural (I’m a third culture kid), it feels lonely. My consolation is that I can always leave if I don’t want to put up with them. I pull the disappearing act from entire communities often enough, it’s honestly become sort of easy.

Honestly I think these people just mix up tribal loyalties. They haven't caught onto the fact that there exists only one tribal loyalty, to your family. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We live in a weird world where those who produce and innovate, those who create wealth are taxed and punished. Those who don't work and are lazy are rewarded with social income. What a shitshow. Sometimes I wonder why wealthy people help the poor, when the very moment they turn their back, are insulted with phrases such as: that idiot just gave me money. I've seen that in person. There's no such thing as poor people, but poor mentality. Give 1M to an economically disadvantaged person, in less than a month he'll waste them all. As the saying goes, rich people spend their money trying to get richer, poor people spend their money trying to look rich. Nice video btw 👍

I love your attitude, that’s why I subscribed !! I was born in the USA through no choice of my own. I am 75 now, so it would be somewhat more difficult for me to move internationally at this point, but I totally respect that each country can have advantages and disadvantages and you should pick a country that treats you best. I have lived in many states in the USA, and generally move around to escape high taxes ,high regulations , and bad service. I shop at different stores to get the lowest prices and best service. I had reasonable medical care until Obamacare was forced on my family. We got a brief respite from some things while trump was president, but even he put in tariffs on Chinese goods which WE have to pay. In years past I had a company in Mexico because they wanted us more than California did at the time. I used to like going to Mexico and enjoyed the more relaxed culture there, in spite of some aspects of utility inconsistencies and internal corruption and an internal tax system that punished Mexican citizens who wanted to rise above poverty. Eventually their system was more onerous than the one in Nevada, so we moved. Now nevada has been infected with Californian socialism and corona virus lockdowns. Socialist Biden/Harris/sanders is in power now, and I suspect it’s time to really look around the world this time for the best deal. I no longer feel dedicated to an American where I can’t think what I want, certainly can’t speak out without being called a racist, a traitor, and an evil creature. America has changed, I haven’t. Every day there is more control over my activities, and the US dollar loses value every single day. So, I applaud that you look around the world fir the best countries to deal with. Competition is the individual’s savior and we should be happy we have a choice of where we live

In UK you can declare yourself an expatriate to the tax office if you are living and working abroad, you must not return to UK for the first 12 months and for 10 months of every consecutive year, the logic is that you are not living and earning in UK so not using it's services, if you return you start paying tax again, no need to renounce citizenship.

I must commend you on doing a KZfaq video with un-edited emotion and some passion. It is refreshing and easier for the audience to relate to your cause and your struggles and of course we agree with your sentiment. But seriously, try and make the videos a bit more passionate and personable because they were getting a bit dry there and hard to watch. This one, however, is awesome and I really hope you don't hold back on your passion and opinions for the future because it is very entertaining. Love your work.

As an Australian I went to work in Dubai to pay no tax and build up some savings. I was really surprised to meet US citizens who told me they had to still pay tax. I did not see any benefit in being outside the US in a tax free country if you still had to pay tax back home. It seemed crazy. If I was a citizen of the US I would have done the same as you. I am back in Australia now and waiting for my kids to finish university and become independent, then I intend to take up the international work lifestyle again knowing that I can always return to Australia when I get tired of it.

3:00 Finally someone gets it! I've never felt American either. I'm probably not going to renounce citizenship though. I'm pretty sure there are treaties in place to prevent double-taxation so I'm just going to live somewhere else and naturalize. I don't like it here.

Nonsense. Keep up the good work, Andrew.

Your TOM FORD perfume Collection right behind you is awesome. Love these perfumes.

I agree with the polarization aspect....There's no more room for fence sitters. The radical left is coming and there are 2 choices, well maybe 3...complacency and let the chips fall..i.e. do nothing and get crushed, fightback and join the other side or plan to be a type of nomad captialist. Plan 3 is the best choice.

Offended citizens by other citizens' life choices is what in latin america is the most widely available human quality: ENVY. It has been tought throughout decades of "rich vs poor", "men vs women", "black vs white" etc training. In latin america we've had this since the 1950s. It's sad that the US is experiencing this since 2000s

Thank you, Sir! I have been a life long resident of USA. While I love my country, the truth is, it no longer aligns with my personal convictions. I don't agree with many of the things purported as "American", nor do I wish to be subject to a legal system that violates the very foundational principals set up by our founders! The IRS targeted me many years ago, and put me out of business! I, like you, had paid consistently for many years, and afforded many people employment in my business operation, but when Obama came into power, the IRS targeted conservative individuals who they could cripple, etc... With that said, I am trying to establish an online presence and income to be able to live offshore. I have ordered your book, "The Nomad Capitalist" and am doing the research to start the process, while I am trying to generate income, otherwise. I am viewing the Panama Friendly Nations Visa program as a means to gain citizenship at a later date. We intend to renounce our US citizenship. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to recover fiscally and live on a very modest income. I actually stayed in Panama City proper for 7 weeks several years ago, researching real estate investments. Is Panama where we should focus? By the way, don't get bothered by the naysayers, there are always people whose vision and convictions do not align with your own. They have their place in the world, thankfully, we are given the luxury of crafting our own thoughts and lifestyle thru our choices. I certainly wish you all the best! Thank you for this content.

EX-pat with eight years and counting in the Republic of the Philippine Islands checking in. Citizen services from the embassy in Manila do exist but are more limited than RW may think. I had an American acquaintance that I visited three times per week in the local provincial lock-up for seven months. I brought in fresh salads, home cooked meals and tradable items like packaged cookies and coffee sachets for the young fellows that watched out for him. US embassy personnel visited him once soon after he was inside and I believe two more times at about three month intervals. They brought him a hotel toothbrush and tube of paste one time. Another time he was given a hotel size bar of soap. He was told to " take care and call us if you need anything." If the man were not a Vietnam veteran, I wonder if he would have received such great treatment? I wonder if RW remembers our Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton? He walked out or camp Crame after President Duterte pardoned him. No black helicopters ever arrived in the dark of night to carry him away. It is a good idea to not rob local banks, commit no murders and avoid other illegal activities. You will do well and enjoy life.

I'm South African - I can objectively tell you that America is the single greatest country to ever exist. I know it's unbecoming to echo that if you yourself are American, but let me do it for you then. I'm eternally grateful that we have a benign country like the US as the global superpower.

Great video response! I totally agree with you and have been living aboard for over 9 yrs with no intention to EVER move back. Looking into all options and your channel has been a "godsend" for me and my family! Thank you thank you thank you!

Like your response Andrew. Often people have their own demons ....suppressed rage, jealousy, insecurities, etc....and rather than going within and dealing with them they project them on to others ....makes them feel good.

"What is wealthy?" Meanwhile, there is a row of Tom Ford fragrances at the back.

Andrew, I am going to assume you made this video to attract viewers (considering the title). From KZfaq marketing perspective - perfect strategy. Those videos do tend to collect better engagements, which overall helps your channel. That being said, good job! Love your channel. Love what you do. On other hand, I don't ever think there is a need to explain yourself or your financial decisions to people (especially, if it's obvious that they aren't as successful as you are). WHY? Humans created artificial concept of "birthplace" and country loyalty for no other reason than to tax the hell out of region's citizens, convince them to go to wars to defend political ideology. Citizens of nearly every country has been brainwashed into "patriotism" so they can be used by elite top for their fiscal, political and power benefits. We have false sense of "country identity" which gives us unnecessary "pride" and sense of entitlement to tell others they are wrong. I am Ukrainian by birth, American by residence, neither proud nor ashamed to be either. I would never ever said "I am proud to be _____" as if that'd identify myself as anything but a herd member of a brainwashed region-based society. If our cave ancestors were so "land bound" they would never migrate to a better places. Humanity would die in caves and lands without fruitful soil and prey-rich forests. Instead, our cavemen ancestors immigrated to lands that provided the best environment to survive. Have they stayed at "birthplace" out of pride and bigoted sense of patriotism, humanity would not exist today. This has been masterly demonstrated in kids' cartoon, "Croods Family". The "original nomad" lol. I love the concept of going where you're treated best, not only from financial perspective, but also from social perspective. I want to be mostly around people that are welcoming and open with a positive mindset. It is often that sense of "but it's my land" which keeps high school graduates from going to the best university, college grads from acquiring the best career elsewhere, or bootstrapping entrepreneur from starting the least taxed business, or family from living in desirable climate (ex-Ohioan here), because of that godamn "pride". Thank you!

To all wingers and complainers........my one-line response. Ppl who winge never win, Winners never winge. Get over it. Continue doing what you're doing Andrew. The main thing, you're not hurting anyone. Great job mate

I live between Hong Kong, UK, Vietnam, Tokyo, Australia and soon Montenegro. Australia is the only place I avoid but my daughters live there. I am based in Hong Kong for Tax purposes and it sure beats paying 20% VAT on purchases and all that salary and corporate tax in the first world regions. I don't see why I need to pay for UK contributions when I don't use any of their services personally and pay private for most things in other regions. I don't feel patriotism anymore since I have been living all over the world

I started to see your more recent videos, but this one is the one that made me subscibe your chanel, i am from Portugal, and i also am a subscriber of several fire movement chanels, one of them of US citizens who moved to Portugal, our rich journey.

You slayed! So, when is the next -- RW vs Andrew NC -- Smack down? You should consider making this a feature Andrew!

Totally agree. There's this crazy notion that if you're not with us, you're against us. This mad notion that there's just two political parties, two choices, two ways to solve a problem. Crazy polarization as opposed to opening up and creatively managing politics, the economy or your life.

Hey Andrew. I've been watching your videos for quite a while and think your material is brilliant. Your time is not well spent responding to folks who will not listen and it's no point making fun of them either. What I would really love to see are more videos about those you have helped gain legal distance from the US and the customized plans they chose for themselves (at a high level, of course). Then what are they up to today... revisit.

Andrew keep walking, always enjoy listening to you. What you broadcast is from your experience. I feel blessed listening your advices. Always by ur side

Well Said Andrew.

I agree with you Andrew. I love what you are offering us as consumers. Opportunity has been expanded, some acceptable to people, some are not. I can ALLOW opportunities to expand my experience, or not. I can research the most sensitive issue in every Americans mind which is truthfully "capitational income taxes". The income tax has been MISAPPLIED towards the American people. I had to find out by correspondence with the taxing agencies, realizing nothing is as it appears to be. There are libraries all across the country offering free books to use and research. I do not want to take these freedoms for granted. Its unfortunate most Americans are afraid of this truth, and will continue to lash out at anything that forces them to self educate. I ask myself, do I want to be a slave, or do I want to be FREE? I want to be FREE...........................

Andrew, RW probably lives in his mom's basement, an incel, no job....he is jealous that he cant get out.

After ranting about someone deciding to leave the US, what are the chances that RW spent at least some of last year living in a self proclaimed autonomous zone in Portland doing nothing but pooping on himself and ranting about how terrible the US is?

I really enjoy your content. I’m determined to get my act together and live the live I want to live. Thanks for the inspiration.

I left America when the LOOOOOONG lists of what I *should* do as a man / American vs the entirely short list of what US society / America did for me ~ meh. I left in 2010. Never coming back - not even as a tourist. Signed Gen X, Mil Vet, Masters Degree

I worked in a few other countries and the US Embassy will do nothing, other than issue a passport, to help US citizens. Nothing. Plus, one time i had been overseas for 2 yrs and the IRS called me while working in the Iraq to ask why i had not filed a tax return. The called my mother to ask her where I was. while huge corporations pay nothing.

LOL. I went to foreign country, got food poisoning, and in the process of addressing that, the inexpensive and competent health care system cured my H. Pylori.

Hi Andrew- I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your worldly knowledge. Thank you for sharing and for taking the high road when it comes to “emotional” attack’s from a critic who’s world view is smaller. I am an expat myself and love living outside the US. I do everything legal as you do- and I also see that paying for services I’m not using does not make sense. However I’ve decided to keep my status as-is for now. The foreign income exclusion form if followed correctly by only visiting 35 days- allows one to earn up to ($102K or thereabouts) with no penalty to pay taxes. You’ve shared this info on your channel. I think that is fair..... Let’s see what happens in the near future as more and more people become digital nomad/ location independent..... and if the allowed income increases.....😌 Happy travels to you ☺️✈️🌎🌏🌍

i'm so glad I found you, i've been looking for resources to leave so long

RW was upset that an american renounces his citizenship, he is ignorant to the fact that thousands of americans would gladly renounce their citizenship if they were like andrew (single, no children, no overwhelming debts, but has disposable income) In fact thousands if not millions of people around the world would renounce their citizenship if it was easy for them to do.

So sad that some miserable dude in the states wants someone not living in the states to be as miserable as him That’s why DONT depend on any government to solve your problems guys. If you have a “1st world” passport doesn’t mean you’re entitled to be a king in a “3rd world” If I was in Andrew’s shoes I wouldn’t want to pay taxes to a country I’m barely in. It’s like paying rent to landlord you’re not there for 12 months. With the money you saved on taxes You can use it elsewhere you’re treated best

Sovereignty is the way to go, and you should go where you are treated best.

As always, informative vid with great info! Ironically, not once have I heard you advise anyone to do what is not legal. In fact, I feel you always put the emphasis on following the law wherever you might be. In reality, many people are bothered by others’ freedom. For some reason people get really incensed when someone chooses to march to their own beat, irrespective of the fact that it doesn’t affect them in any way. My father always told me growing up that not everyone is happy when you begin to achieve success. Truth!

Hold my beer, someone is wrong on the internet!

Andrew. I am struggling if I shall obtain Canadian PR and citizenship, I am troubling to understand their international taxation policy, although I knows it is differ from the U.S, U.S would charge tax based on mere citizenship, Canada does that based on residency, but it is quite ambiguous to understand their policy. Many of us in the State pursuit the passport of this Northern neighbor, based on it's ambiguity of tax: to grab a Canadian passport and leave the North America to work somewhere else, and spend a short period vocation in U.S as a Canadian(after renouncing U.S citizenship ) with visa free status. In such case, are we still obligated for Canadian taxation? The other case is, like one of my friend, who got Canadian passport through connection with his Canadian mom, planning to renounce his U.S citizenship and file E-2 status as a Canadian to live in U.S, does Canadian taxation apply to him? In short, perhaps you could make a video to explains the pros and cons about Canadian passport in terms of taxation.....

US middle income (70k a year) vet here. I am loving this channel. I think the idea of being a nomad capitalist is amazing. Even inside the US this is a key thing people should be doing. IE leaving California for Texas. You should move wherever you are treated best both inside the US and outside! Secondly as far as the "patriot" thing I am a veteran. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. If you really believe another country is better.....move there. I don't believe in trying to change a country to be like another. I think each country SHOULD be different to allow people the option to move to whichever country whos values (or money situation) best encompases their own. No one should be forced to be stuck in a country (especially where a majority of its citizens hate you). The world (and hopefully soon the Galaxy!) should be free for anyone to move around in.

i am deeply thankful for making these videos, you made me think more clearly about this world. maybe i'll move from norway someday, it's pretty boring here ngl.

I think the superpower model might be the nucleus of the problem. America's just too big. Too unmanageable. Too many Splinter groups with different cultures and different values and objectives. Angela Merkel herself said that multiculturalism has failed utterly. Most all civility has vanished.

A lot of Americans are very self interested and know little about their country and almost nothing about other countries. I am Canadian and have travelled extensively and appreciate the countries I have been to and the uniqueness of other places.

i have a similar situation and i pay no tax at all.still i donate a lot to local charity's so that is my way of taxation. local people are proud of me, friends and family in country of origin in between. only when i say i want to renounce my citizenship they act the same.

Libertarianism at its finest :)

As an "American," still living here, I'm not happy with the country. In fact, I haven't been for over 3 decades. It doesn't feel like home anymore. I went to Canada, on vacation, when I was 12 and felt more at home there. I have made plans to go to Costa Rica sometime next year, hopefully, to see how it feels there. I'll plant my flag where I feel at home, and anyone who has a problem with it will just have to deal with it. I've lived my life for other people for to long. It's time for me to live for me.

Also are there any videos for people that don't want to give up US citizenship but still want to reduce their US taxes? For example, I'm aware of the strategies around Puerto Rico. Are there other US territories with favorable tax situations?

I couldn't find RW's comment. Maybe he removed it after you destroyed him!

Your a genius man.

You nailed it with "Go where you're treated best." We hope to travel internationally after the virus and get some other perspectives. I heard someone say that the US is more an idea than a place; I agree. Some things here (the US) are great, others not so much. Thank you for sharing your experiences - I ordered the book!

RW sounds like a Bernie-bro.

A new issue that is coming up in the US is the ProAct and how it could affect freelancers working there very badly - essentially forcibly pushing them out of the market and no longer allowing them to freelance. This is a law that was passed in California, has been passed in other states (New Jersey) and is set to be passed on the federal level . It would be interesting if you could address that - I am sure many freelancers who make a good living in the US will seriously be thinking about moving. Thanks for all your information - you are very well informed. Congrats!

I want to live a modernized nomadic lifestyle!

When I was young enough to still believe I was indestructible, I had an uninsured accident that kept me off work for months. While seeking public assistance I was informed that I was, "too white and couldn't get pregnant". That was the day I realized that anyone talking about a, "social contract", was probably a leech. I owe that faceless bureaucrat more than I'll ever be wiling to pay. He thought he was a wit... he was only half right, but an excellent teacher.

The US is a really great country, but there are some that are MUCH safer like Poland, Japan, or South Korea. Every country has good and bad qualities. I would definitely rather live in the US than Germany or the UK.

Can you post RW comments so we can see them. I couldnt find it?

The US consulate does almost nothing for citizens in legal trouble outside the US. There are a few treaties that help in certain situations, but essentially no direct help.

That RC guy's comments were hilariously ignorant.

Go where you're treated best!....if u can afford it and you are not too lazy and/or complacent!

Quick question. If you reside in Malaysia, but do remote work for a US law firm that is deposited to a US bank account, would you owe Malaysian income tax on that remote salary?

Thanks for exploring the downside aspect. While running a foreign subsiariary of a Swiss company in Japan, I hit my five year federal tax exemption limit and faced paying both US and Japanese. Then there was the $10,000 penalty if i didn't report all the foreign bank accounts I had authority for. There are ways to reset the clock, but I often thought why am I locked into the forever wherever reporting and tax obligation for services I wasn't receiving. So, I opted to move to Switzerland. However, when management expressed their expectation for me to pursue Swiss citzenship, I froze, quit and returned my family to the US. Now, after a life long career in international business, I'm about to retire and longing to permanently reside outside the us again, I feel trapped with various domestic real estate assets, ss, medicare, family, etc. I'm not a fan of the direction the US is taking, but yet fearful of letting go of the security of belonging to the most powerful country in the world. It feels like it is too late and I should have changed citzenship long ago before my finances got complicated and commited, and I was mentally more receptive to taking risks.

I just love Nomad Capitalist . simple ! , that and I'm learning so much , already making the first steps ,Thanks Andrew and team.

That's a nice collection on Tom Ford scents

Your awesome; feed back , the best! I have 2 citz" and I'm on my way for a residé, some where else. Never read the book but have all ways appreciated the channel and theme

Btw I am a very loyal and proud American....Not because I live in this land but because of what the original American ideology means. Capitalism, freedom, rule of law etc. I support people like nomad. He makes America and the world better by simply moving capital to where it is treated best. That forces places like California to wake up or lose more capital. Places who treat nomad better earn his money and business. Through global competition the world and local governments learn to treat people and their capital or businesses well. People vote with their money. One caveat is that the US does foot a disproportionate amount of the bill for attempting to keep the world peaceful. Many countries arguably benefit from the US military presence. For instance without the US military would the CCP crush Taiwan like Hongkong? How safe would the rest of Asia be for business or life? There are many different dynamics to this.

As for RW he is on his grave already along with his country, no need to worry about it. Andrew my husband and I adore you. We call a daily seminar as we watch your videos. We have been traveling all over the world for the past 9 years, and we do it for only 21 days at a time. We have noticed that the countries in Asia are way far better than Europe and US for sure. Quality of life, food, kind people and NOT ENTITLED species sounds like a perfect paradise. I must confess, I grew up in Brazil, finished high school in France and move to the US and did my grad studies. What a mistake I made moving to the US, but a least I now know how it is. It all FAKE! My husband had this fascination of going to spend time in Europe Spain, Italy and France so we did he was disappointed he did not understand the fuss about it. As you said in one of your videos Europe is a tree that has fallen down, TRUE! Your videos are FANTASTIC. No need to change anything. I cannot be thankful enough for your work. It is sooooo much needed as the clueless US people are missing out a lot. I identify myself with all your videos. I am a huge fan of you. Again thank you. Namaste!
