"I need blueberries in December." I love Andrew's humor, because that would be something I would say. Growing up as a farm girl, the "penthouse life" would never be for me. I'm glad people are opting for villas and landscapes to high rise and big cities.
Then Thailand would be for you. Phuket has it all. I love Andrew, and I understand he’s promoting Kuala Lumpur, but I just got sick of it. It is not a great place to live in. OK to visit once or twice.
I have electric servants. Washer/dryer, dishwasher, Instapot, Rumba and my coffeemaker to name a few. They work hard, don't demand a raise, and never talk back. So I think I'm set. 😂
Agree. Having all the staff inevitably creates its own problems. Like conflict amongst the staffs and end up with different factions within the household. Another issue is that some staffs eventually will want to borrow money from their employers due to their own financial mismanagement and can’t afford to pay for their own emergencies. It’s better to just hire a cleaning service to clean the house on a scheduled basis instead of having a live-in maid. Just use Uber or hire a limo service to get around town instead of having a live-in/full time driver if you don’t want to drive yourself. Just order UberEats or dine at your favorite restaurant if you don’t feel like cooking instead of having a chef. And, order your groceries online and have them delivered instead of having a staff going to the supermarket to buy your groceries.
Andrew - Enjoyed the video. As a nomad currently residing in Budva, Montenegro and who has also spent time in Serbia I would add that these countries do have a mail service. So if you are in desperate need of a particular item of clothing, toiletry, etc. you can order from online retailers. It will take a few days to a week longer to arrive than in the west but you can still have them delivered. As for fresh blueberries in December you will have to settle for the frozen ones.
Well if you show up in a country and sit down the restaurant and order a beer and it's only a dollar, and back home the beer would be at least $5. Now you know you just moved somewhere that's five times cheaper to live. There you go, living like a millionaire on a budget
I'm all for making life easier by throwing cash at problems the average person has to contend with, but the easiest way is to not create bigger problems by matching your lifestyle to your income. No boats, fancy cars or planes. No trophy, high maintenance wife. No homes with 10 bedrooms that never get used. More and bigger 'stuff' creates more problems. Focus on solving other peoples problems.
Yep, every additional luxury you buy becomes a drain on you in both money and time. there is nothing more boring than endlessly fixing houses, boats and cars which constantly break and deteriorate
Aaaand ain't that the truth - everyone I know that lives this lifestyle, contrary to what Andrew is saying in this video, does absolutely none of that. They own ultra-luxury condos that have their own private resident-only cleaning teams, caretakers, drivers, assistants, etc, or stay at hotels that include it ($700+/night generally) and have not a care in the world. They have no team to manage or any complications - they can get whatever they want delivered from food delivery apps or have the building assistant(s) figure it out within a couple hours of arriving, or even before - and it gets done right. Stayed at them before, a few nights, and it was better than I expected - had some ridiculously specific questions I couldn't find the answer to after hours of research and the assistant team kept me updated and figured it out on extremely short notice and arranged everything I needed. I don't need that life, and would rather invest that cash for the time being, but that's how they do it - not all these private villas around the world. Only the top 0.0001% do that (bezos types), if even, and they have full staffs on every property all the time constantly living there upkeeping it.
I moved to Montenegro and have trouble finding staff like a cleaning lady. They're overpriced and deliver bad service. Better of hiring a Dutch person, the standard is simply higher. Tips on this?
That’s really good ideia, it’s being so hard to manage everything since my wife is already too busy with our babies. I never thought about having people to help with my nomad life style.
You don’t even need a personal assistant to travel to another city/country with a Prada boutique just to buy your garments and bring them to you. You can purchase the Prada garments online and have them delivered to you via courier.
Dealing with people is a challenge, most of the times, simply because they are people (they will never be as predictable as my german shepherds). I have had to deal with people under my coordination for a good part of my adult life such as maids, cooks, cleaning personnel, farm peasants / cowboys, civil construction workers, chauffeurs, copilots, skippers, office people and so on. It can be good or it can be bad. The idea of a personal assistant is fine, provided such person does not become a filter between me and the "outer world". I like to have regular direct contact with common people (caretakers, taxi drivers, policemen, beach life guards, bartenders / waiters etc) and hear what they think, what their concerns and necessities are etc. Many bad decisions have been made by executives (especially in the woke sense) mainly because they accepted to be put inside these so called HNWI bubbles. In my particular view, it might be a big mistake, if not properly managed...
Lots of food for thought...interesting you said you, or one of your clients, had difficulty with getting maids to clean when living in Serbia...guess there isn't a "service culture" there yet...
living aboard thinking like locusts who take advantage of the resources of the poorest countries. For people from those countries resources like housing become impossible to obtain or rent. people from those countries are only spoken of as potential employees (maids, drivers, cooks etc.)
No one wants to hear this same old tired argument. What about all of the money they bring to the area and the jobs they provide? Take a look at what happened when all those wealthy people stopped traveling and spending their money during the pandemic. All of the sudden these countries were bankrupt. They are begging for the wealthy to return!!
Menials jobs? Because of foreigners the house prices and rent in this countries have risen so high that local people and immigrant workers can't afford them.I know what I am talking about, I am a Portuguese born in Africa You only have to listen to the video to see that there is no interest in the people of these countries or in their culture and language. To conclude, of the tourism industry of which you speak, only crumbs reach the people. The big hotel chains belong to conglomerates.
Please talk about opening bank account across nations like opening account in another nation's bank from another nation. How do i open bank account in another developed nation from India to transfer my money there? 🛑🛑🛑🛑

You have always mentioned that this is for six and seven figure entrepreneur. As highly skilled corporate worker with comfortable financial background, but very low risk taking abilities, is there a way to invest five figures to create an income stream? Say invest $50,000 to bring in 10% return , but create an opportunity for a part-tiime job for the investor? If your company can be the facilitator or administrator of such business combining 10 50K investors who can work together and start a 500K business? Anyone else in this section who wants to explore this?
Just save up and invest passively in funds and managers you support and trust until you have enough to do something on your own - or get into real estate. Working with others in business, unless you're all super close and on the same page is a disaster - especially with more than one or two partners. Right now I'd say if you're risk adverse likely tossing into short-term bonds, gold, international real estate, or international reits/farming-companies is probably the best bet, until you have a stack of 6-figures to do something more with, like buy and renovate a second home in Brazil and rent it out via a property manager when you're not there.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 Never heard of this in the Philippines, it’s just a country not a war zone 😅. It’s a prime retirement destination for a reason. Lot of hypochondriacs out there with no clue. Thousands of foreigners happily in Siargao, check out brit family 8 miles from home documenting their life setting up a home with purchased land. Dream idyllic life.
One time my assistant had my salad fork in place of a fork designated for Filet Mignon ... OH the SHAME !!! Seriously, most of the topics Andrew talks about are brilliant, but not relatable to the average person... Why complicate your life so much by having so many residences ? One main home and a vacation villa would be plenty for me...
You are explaining in 2023 what Indian tech bros who made money from Western tech jobs and then retired young back home have been doing for more than 30 years. The only thing that has changed is that due to tech and the global reach of English, you Westerners are now contemplating it. Good luck though.
When hiring a maid just make sure that she is a westerner and white woman and not from a poor country. And if you meet with a woman from a poor country that needs a job as a maid just give her a free salary of maid without working for you.
Thanks for this Andrew! Did you say a family office or a family officer? Either way, can you please make a video elaborating on this versus the personal business manager? Thank you.
Sitting here eating ramen studying how to hire my own maids in Dubai 😆 🤣 😂
