Andrew conducts an interesting experiment during this week’s introduction. Is there a strong correlation between countries with friendly business practices, and countries with low debt to GDP? Andrew takes a look at several countries, and their GDP rates, on this week’s episode. Stay tuned till the end of his segment to find out the answer to this question!

 

Key Takeaways:

Andrew's Editorial:

[2:10] Greece is currently one of the worst three countries, in terms of debt to GDP.

[3:50] If you go to Montenegro, the Balkans, they really roll out the red carpet for you.

[5:40] Bulgaria has one of the lowest debt to GDP in the EU.

[6:10] Andrew reads off some of the countries that are doing well, when it comes to their debt.

[7:45:] Andrew wants to see if he can make a correlation between countries with friendly business practices and countries with good GDP.

[10:00] Andrew believes Chile has the right culture, but their economy has reached a peak, and it will drop a little bit.

[13:45] Andrew notes that the countries with good GDP are not located in the West.

[15:40] In the U.S., no matter what happens, it will never go down to a 10% flat corporate and personal tax rate. Trump has offered a 15% corporate tax rate, and economists say that it can’t be done.

[16:25] Andrew doesn’t say this to sound angry, but he believes the U.S. is the most corrupt country on earth.

[19:00] Conclusion: In many cases the objective business-friendly numbers and the public finances, in countries where they treat their people the best, do match up!

[20:55] The state of California is like a Kardashian. Andrew explains further.

 

Interview:

[23:15] Why did Ashley want to be an entrepreneur?

[25:50] Ashley can do a majority of her business by computer and by phone.

[26:45] A majority of Ashley’s business is specialized in the sharing economy.

[27:55] If you want to be a disrupter, you just have to do it! Ashley has stopped asking for permission.

[28:55] Why did Ashley decide to go overseas? Why not stay in Texas doing what she’s doing now?

[30:35] When Ashley founded her business 7 years ago, she started it in Bahrain.

[32:00] Why did Ashley set up shop in Bahrain?

[32:55] It was easy for a woman to do business there.

[34:55] How does Ashley differentiate herself in such a competitive market?

[38:00] Why did Ashley move to London?

[39:00] Ashley has found it more difficult to be a company in the UK than in Bahrain.

[43:35] Ashley went from living in a nice big apartment in Bahrain, to living in a small box. The lifestyle is very different between the two countries.

[47:40] One business – Insurance.

[48:10] One country – Stockholm, Sweden.

[49:20] One tool – Google Flights.

 

Listener Question:

[51:20] Is it best to renounce U.S. citizenship and keep Brazilian citizenship? What options are out there?

[52:45] If your parents have more than one citizenship, look into that and see if you have more passport options!

[57:25] You’re in good shape if you have both U.S. and Brazilian citizenship.

[59:00] If your passport has visa-free access to Europe, you’re in good shape!

My Struggle, by Karl Ove Knausgaard

Oct 20, 2016

Andrew has discussed in the past why going for the cheapest and/or fastest passport might not always be the wisest decision, but what about acquiring an economic citizenship? For Westerners, particularly U.S. citizens, who are looking to pay less in taxes, leave the U.S., and live a digital nomad lifetime, you may want to consider your options, and take actions on them, sooner rather than later.

 

Key Takeaways:

Andrew's Editorial:

[1:55] The most popular articles on Nomad Capitalist are about how to get the fastest citizenship.

[2:15] Are you a successful business owner paying too much in tax?

[3:35] The idea of paying for a citizenship seems distasteful for many Westerners.

[4:30] What kinds of people should renounce their U.S. citizenship?

[7:20] Andrew believes that in the future you will see a lot more citizen-based taxation in other countries, like the way the U.S. has it.

[7:45] It’s not easy to leave Norway.

[12:15] If you’re a Westerner or U.S. Citizen looking to get a 2nd citizenship within months, then Dominica may be your best bet.

[14:15] If you’re planning on leaving the U.S., then you may want to apply for an economic citizenship now, before you move overseas.

[18:05] Dominica currently offers the best provisions for a Westerner.

[43:50] What’s the biggest mindset recommendation for someone getting started?

[45:00] Mindset helps you get things done!

[45:30] A scarcity mindset can lead us to make the wrong decisions.

[47:20] Accept personal responsibility for your actions.

[51:40] What’s holding you back?

[53:20] Andrew has been the guy that points the finger, when it’s really his fault for not taking action sooner!

[55:35] The problems go away when you approach things the right way.

What's Wrong with Eating People? by Peter Cave

 

Oct 13, 2016

As Andrew watches the Presidential Election one thing comes to mind: The system will not change. U.S. politicians want to make it seem like nomad business owners are traitors for hiring outside talent, but the reality is, the United States does not provide good enough incentives for so many business owners. It only makes sense to seek out better treatment elsewhere and hire overseas.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Andrew's Editorial:

[2:15] Based on everything that’s going on in the United States right now, we’re not going to change the system.

[4:15] There are incentives to moving jobs overseas.

[5:50] When you hire U.S. people, you are subjected to U.S. tax, even if you don’t have a U.S. business.

[6:15] Let's not blame the corporations.

[6:30] Andrew and so many other nomads will not hire U.S. people living in the United States.

[8:00] Politicians want to make it seem like nomad business owners are traitors for hiring from outside the United States.

[9:00] With that said, U.S. citizens tend to be better trained.

[12:00] It’s a shame we have to hire talent outside of the United States, but that’s where we are treated best.

[14:55] Setting up an offshore company can be beneficial for U.S. citizens.

[15:25] You may not be able to get a Singapore bank account in the next three years.

 

Interview:

[19:00] Why did Neil decide to become an entrepreneur?

[21:45] When Neil made the leap to become self-employed, what was going through his mind?

[24:20] How did Neil make the transition from self-employed to entrepreneur?

[26:30] How do you really know when is the right time to start?

[28:50] If Neil could go back in time, he wouldn’t have gotten his PhD.

[30:25] How has Neil set up his business?

[32:20] What flags has Neil planted so far?

[33:20] Neil has had terrible banking trouble because he has an Indian passport.

[34:35] Why did Neil decide to outsource to Eastern Europe as opposed to Southeast Asia?

[38:20] If Neil was still in India or London today, what would he not be able to achieve?

[39:50] Neil talks about the relationships he’s developed in Finland.

 

The Lightning Round:

[42:00] One business – Omelette restaurant.

[42:40] One country – Indonesia.

[43:00] One book – Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime, by MJ DeMarco.

[43:20] One tool – Spotify.

 

Listener Question:

[46:25] Is Belize still a good place for a digital nomads to go offshore?

[47:25] Belize still has tax. It’s not a zero tax country.

[47:40] Andrew likes Belize.

[49:45] Unfortunately, if you’re from the West, you’re going to have a hard time doing it legally.

[51:25] Cayman Islands is another option, but they’re not cheap and they do not want cheap people.

[52:40] Countries all around the world don’t really trust Belize.

[53:35] Andrew would rather pay slightly more tax than deal with the headaches Belize offers.

[56:0] Remember, we want to be legal and Belize has a bad rep.
