Mr. Henderson is right when it comes to family and people we thought we were close to. I had worked abroad as a teacher for seven years and came back to the US four years ago to be near my family. I had brought with me my wife and daughters who are from the Philippines. It has been a struggle these past four years as I realized that I had the same relationship with my parents and brother when I lived near to them as I did when I lived on the other side of the world. We saw each other rarely, and they could not provide any emotional or actionable (taking care of the kids, etc.) support. We would just talk every couple of weeks. We can talk on the phone. I don't need to be near them. Well, I have decided to move to SE Asia. We will have better support from my wife's family. Plus we'll actually be able to save money and provide a better future for our daughters.
Thanks for sharing your story!
And the urban design here is not conducive to human interaction compared to Europe or Asia. Car centric design is depressing. We need our fellow humans to be happy.
My good friend met a woman from the Philippines and wants to move back to the US with her but there's nothing here for him (jobwise) and he was super happy there.. I'm trying to convince him to stay there permanently!
@Katie Rose - Sadly, the USA and Canada are lost nations ... 😔
Are your parents and siblings white/caucasian?
You are so right about family. We bought a home with an extra spare bedroom for guests. We had one come in 4 years. We could have saved money and put them in a 5 star hotel.
Lots of friendships are based on proximity. And that shows even when moving to the next state. Out of sight, out of mind. You're 100% right.
Obviously. There's a big difference between being able to meet up in person or only being able to talk over the phone most the time. When you work full time you don't want to spend your free time traveling to meet up with your friends either.
Most ppl in your life right now, you will not know in 10 years.
To the next city, to be honest. I moved from Saint Pete to Tampa which is only 20 minutes away and don't see any of my Saint Pete "friends" anymore. Might as well be in another country
@@Junkmailcrusades I experienced the same thing multiple times in my life. If I wasn’t within a 10-15 drive, they made no effort to visit. BUT got bent out of shape when I didn’t want to drive to see them.
@@weekendatbernies2265 Good point.
A one way ticket to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from Rapid City South Dakota is $250 6.5 hours total. Change planes in Denver or Dallas. A one way ticket From Rapid City S.D. to Denver is $500
Agree 👍
I flew
Bishkek kyrgyzstan
To
Istanbul
To Oslo
To miami
For $450
And the other day Houston to san Francisco cost me 366 plus 35 to check a bag
Not true…
I am in Puerto Vallarta and love it
@@Lightning718 what's not true
A one-way plane trip from Miami to a very far South America location was $255 when I bought it.
Does anyone else ever get the feeling that we are kind of outmatched because the powers that be seem hellbent on impoverishing and enslaving the whole of humanity?
you are right on w that
follow the little hats they hate you sheep
Exactly
Not currently happening in free FL. This guy Nomad obviously cares nothing about living according to the Constitution.
That's why the 2nd Amendment is so important. It's the only thing that evil people fear(& that's a good thing). Otherwise, they 100% WILL screw anyone who they can't use to gain more power(& after they finish using the useful idiots, they will screw them also, cause they are 100%EVIL with ZERO morals!)...smh
I hope all the sheeple who are still sleeping will wake up in time to save our great constitutional republic(STOP ACCEPTING ABSURDITIES like pregnant mails!!!...smh).
For those thinking of Florida, I just had my hurricane damaged roof replaced two weeks ago. The hurricane happened last September. I may be finished all repairs by this September. I love it here, but it isn’t cheap and there are plenty of dangers. A guy taking a leak behind a bar because the bathroom was full just lost his arm to an alligator in my town last week. A friend of a friend was bitten by a rattlesnake while taking photos of flowers in a state park. She almost died. This happened last month. Food and clothes and other items are more expensive. Insurance is more expensive: car, homeowners. If you don’t own your house outright, you need to make great money because rent is high. Wages are lower than other states and benefits frequently aren’t offered. If you are thinking of moving to SW Florida for the sunny beaches, so is everyone else in the country. Building has skyrocketed the past three years. Most of the beaches are small, with small parking lots that fill up by 9am.
Emerald coast? Moving to Freeport FL soon... Thoughts?
@@MrJuanete12 7 hours away from me. Don't know the area.
For someone who lives abroad, Andrew is very well informed about what goes on in the US!
His clients are from the US
Guess doesn't watch US media that most Americans watch. More true stuff not propaganda.
Foreign media covers U.S. politics heavily
The whole fucking planet is informed about whats happening in the US because our governments and sackless politicians are cucking to whatever the US does or tells us to do (look at Europe being crushed to maintain sanctions on Russia at the expense of their people).
The US election is even more importabt to my country (Australia)s future than our own fucking election. Honestly its sad.
So am I, British, and never been to US since 1999 either🤣
Beautifully stated; I have have the same logic for internal move ... especially when US is heading towards having no culture, more corruption at all level, and promoting more criminals and incompetents in schools, colleges, and industries.
I think this was a wise video....a lot of true statements. Thank you for your time.
It's so true what you said about how much someone cares about seeing you. It hurts to admit that you are more committed to family and friends than they are to you.
I found that out the hard way when I became disabled. I'm still mobile but moved like 15 miles from where I grew up and NO ONE reaches out to me
@@pinkyhotmessx69 I’m sorry to hear that, it’s hard to believe at first and then comes the realization. It’s hard to accept, but once you do it’s better to know who’s really with you and who’s not. I wish you all the best and don’t let those people make you feel down or sad, you did nothing wrong.
True. I take most people with a grain of salt. Family too. Especially family.
@@pinkyhotmessx69 Yeah. People can be so disappointing that way. I realized the same thing 11 years ago and turned to prayer, meditation and nature.
I was amazed to find such deep treasures within AND different levels of non human life and interaction.
Example: A couple of days ago I was feeling off as I sat at kitchen window drinking coffee. All of a sudden a hummingbird appeared and danced and flew around for five minutes. We had a nice chat. It was just the companion/friend I needed.
I meditated on hummingbirds and checked out a book about them from Amazon. Amazing creatures and learned more about myself from them.
Good luck on your journey and wish you PEACE.
@@pinkyhotmessx69 Sorry to hear that Pinky. I hope you make some new friends
Couldn’t agree more. If you’re doing it, then do it. 🇲🇽
The advantage of moving to a state without income tax like TX or FL is that if you move out of the US permanently, you will not have any state income taxes due. So not a bad idea to live in one of the income tax free states long enough to establish residency prior to a move outside the US.
You can do that without physically moving there.
@@CashCatz I would be interested to know how you can establish residency in another state without a move.
@@Maggie-zr2ow Yes, there are 8 states without income tax.
A very important point
I lived in NV where there is no state income tax and that’s one thing I really liked from that state. Looking to move to another state income tax-free state like SD or AK.
You are absolutely right Andrew. I moved closer to my friends and family to not be a ghost after 2 friends had someone die close to them (wife/brother). Another friend came over for a free vacation to meet with the movers in Florida (sold property there) and a couple of family members came over to new house to get free material things...in 9 months. Now after doing major work on the house and property time to sell for a profit and move.
I snowbirded for winter 2022-2023. Never more than 6-10 hours away. NO ONE in my family would visit. A couple have even become hostile toward me. Lesson learned.
5:28 This is surprisingly inspirational and therapeutic. Go where you are treated best 😳👍
Thanks Andrew you are absolutely correct. I am in Puerto Vallarta and it is great. Paid the dues in Chicago and glad to be out of that hell hole. Many friends and family are overrated.
Bingo
From what I see daily, Chicago is hell. Good move.
Comparing Mexico to Chicago is not saying much. Chicago is not the U.S., it is Africa. There are many places to live in the U.S.A. which are much safer with much better infrastructure than Mexico.
@@SMoore-vj7bt "Chicago is not the U.S., it is Africa."
Chicago: 29% black
@@SMoore-vj7bt The slums in Chicago are worse tha in India, Egypt, Kenya, etc. At least will Not get shot, raped or held up at gun point. Many parts of the US are the 4th world.
In 2008 I moved from Texas to Louisiana. I lived there 12 years and was never able to adapt, as they are too different. Proximity is not necessarily the answer.
How are they different?
They're too much fun?
@@domesticatedwolverine4152 South Louisiana has a distinctive culture, including their speech patterns and pronunciation. They can spot an outsider as soon as you start speaking.
Lol, different isn't the issue, our desire to change or not is the issue and no right or wrong way about it. You have to be where you feel home.
😂😂😂😂😂
Who moves to Louisiana???
Zero Jobs
No Job protections
State Taxes are as high as Massachusetts and no Social Service help if you fall on hard times and if it's needed.
Lowest pay in the country. 10.00 an hour to work as a 911 Dispatcher.
Grocery Tax
Some items can be hard to get. Especially some fashions. You have to drive to Houston just to find stuff you may want.
They refuse to take care of their Senior Citizens.
Ridiculous high rent that no one making 10 an hour can afford.
No HBA Medicare cards to get free OTC products from the pharmacy.
Takes forever to be approved for the Senior Commodities.
Wally World on every corner and instead of staying away and shopping elsewhere people wanna run there first
Excellent points. I completely agree with you.
Thank you, Eva.
I appreciate your perspective, thank you for sharing.
Left the Northeast nearly 20 years ago, New Jersey to be specific. There were many reasons we left but costs were the number one reason. I went to a state that offered 20% of the property tax cost, 25% lower cost of living, half the cost for a house, the lowest utility cost in the nation, cheaper insurance costs and lower food costs. Our careers would have paid maybe 5-10% more if we stayed in New Jersey but we could easily live a far better life in a different state.
In 2010 when we built our house, our builder was at that time building in 25 or so states, the same house we built in our state ($425k) was over a $900k build in New Jersey with a 20k a year estimated property tax, I pay almost 4k a year in our current state.
Where did you move to?
@@johnharpertrading6456 New Mexico
I left NJ myself…12 years ago. I NEVER go back!
@Fauci is-a-liar all public schools are a wasteland
Alabama
If you want to live in a sauna bath, south FL is for you. I was born and raised in the Houston TX area, which is hot and humid during the summer, but Miami is much worse. I went there once on business and was shocked; I did not know that such a place existed anywhere in the continental US.
I agree. The weather in Miami is unbearable for 9 months of the year.
I went to Miami once for 2 hours I never seen such a superficial place that just full of douchebags and attention seekers. I couldn't get out of there quick enough not for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this topic and agree. I am currently in Boston in a tech career and am considering looking outside the US for a simply better quality of life.
Thank you, Andrew. Best is best.
Thank you, Eric. Glad to hear that.
Your commitment level to them is different than there's towards you..... Golden words of wisdom
I know several people in the last couple of year's who moved out of Cali and are loving it. Bigger house, less taxes and that's just for starters. Moving overseas means Looonng distances from family and a few states away is easier than an ocean...
Good thing we have email, facebook, etc., to keep in touch.
@@SenorJuan2023 ..and live Zoom 😀
I find it hard to believe they love it. I've lived in both Texas or Florida and they sucked. It's worth spending more to live in nicer places.
Yet most states don't want them especially after they ruined their own state.
@@SenorJuan2023 Too bad you can't convince more yankees to leave Florida ..
Yes there's a flow from high expense states to lower expense areas. But there's still a flow into those high expense states too to get high paying jobs. I moved to San Jose CA as a software engineer because I could earn a lot. Yeah houses were expensive to buy, but also appreciated a lot too and my job more than covered the difference. When I'd earned enough I retired at 45 and moved to Phoenix. Now 20 years later I'm planning to move to SE Asia. There's really not much reason imo to stay in a high expense area other than for a high paying job. Plenty of cheap places in the world that are fun.
I'm a software engineer, and for a long time I dreaded the day I would "have" to move to SF Bay Area in order to further my career. Then Covid hit and it was the best thing that could have happened to my career. Now I work for a SF-based company and I live in another state. It works out well for me.
I respect and value your knowledge and information
You make sense! Keep up the good work!! 🙂
Choose carefully and move 2 hours drive out of the big U.S. city and achieve much of the same lower cost & quality of life advantages.
The cities and their inhabitants are the problem. Reconstitute your lawful Texas Assembly and exclude non-landowners from voting as is in the original State Constitution which you are reassembling. I believe it was 10 acres minimum. C.f. high IQ Anna von Reitz’s explanation of the history of the U.S. since the Civil War when the lawful governance and States’ rights were co-opted by the globalists.
Just don't bring big city arrogance to our small towns.
There are still houses in the boonies in the states that are just as cheap as the boonies in portugal. Like a house on 20 acres in Kansas for 150k. Everyplace/country has its own drawbacks. Choose yours along with benefits.
Very nice video. Great slogan... Go where you are treated best. I agree, but also understand not everyone is built the same way. Some folks can't be away from friends and family.
You're making great point I recently I'm starting to want to go check out Mexico
I agree! I’ve lived in Mexico for 3 years, acquired my residency here a year ago and I’m never leaving!! Black people are thriving in Mexico. There is a full release of the TRAUMA of living in the states.
I left America officially in 2009 and tried on different countries around the world until I hit Mexico in 2019 and knew I had finally found my home.
I live like a Queen here and it is amazing. Mexican people here in Puerto Vallarta are so kind!
Don’t believe the negative lies the press tells you! If you have an inclination then GET OUT OF AMERICA!! The world is MUCH safer than the usa.
I got my passport & plan on traveling to find my future home..where was a good place to start?
Much safer? No way. They broke the window of my SUV in the parking lot of Walmart in Ensenada. You need to read Mexico Daily to know about the numerous home break-ins and murders of expats. Maybe if you are comparing to some African city inside the U.S. such as Chicago or New Orleans.
I actually like America a lot, it's just the system is set up to drain every drop of blood out of you. You can't live without a job for even a few months.....that's freedom for you in the country that prides itself as the most free in the world. But people are nice and really hardworking.
@@elenakelley9147 Why is YT shadow banning your comment? I can only see it on alerts but not on the page itself. The globalists don’t want you to be self-sufficient on your own land. You can still do it in rural U.S. but they are coming after you with U.N. Agenda 2030 to make it illegal to be self-sufficient. Running away to these U.N. subservient Latin American nations is admitting defeat and full enslavement to come.
Glad you didn't pick Ukraine
I'd agree that there's potentially more in common between some living in parts of the US with those in other countries than there is between some parts of the US, though from what I've seen/experienced I'd say many of the differences are more likely to be urban vs rural than it is purely different geographic regions -- except when it comes to how "hot" and "cold" weather are defined.
E.g. if a person grew up on a farm, it's very likely they'd have shared experiences with others (around the world) who have also grown up on farms than they would with people who grew up in major/mega urban environments where they've (potentially) never even seen a cow in person.
I like your point of view you make good sense
Many good points. Thanks.
I’m 49 years old Latin American , I’ve been a Floridian majority of my life since I was 11… Note, Miami ,Orlando Florida …. It’s true ! The cost of living has gotten expensive, the housing market in general is out of control here ! 💰💰 rental and mortgages outrageous and we still making the same wages here in Florida ... it’s safe to sit on the sidelines and save my money 💰.
I'd head back to Latin America if I were you. The slave class that use to pick cotton in USA is currently getting set up to pay the national debt back to the banksters. Smart people are moving out of the USA. Dumb people are chanting B.L.M and "we're going to take over this country". $200+ trillion in funded/unfunded liability and almost $100 Trillion in unfunded debt, you can have it. $4 trillion in Federal tax revenue. The bankers always get paid back.
Better off in Brazil or Columbia, by far.
@@davidb2206 Maybe. Taxes are high in Colombia, even though the cost of living is low. Brazil has had high inflation before President Cardoso and after him, but they have a lot of things we can get in the West but not in a protectionist country like Colombia. In each country, it depends on where you go.
Looking at Thailand and southern Italy. I lived in Italy and Greece for five years. Most Americans cannot handle living in other countries.
We are moving from Orange County to Mexico City. We love this city! We had been traveling several times a year and we are now ready to move!
I LOVE the way you caught your redundancy error and corrected!!! "Place" "Instance" appx 13:50 - Nice job!
I moved from Mexico to Dallas, I think American people doesnt appreciate the opportunities to make make money they have in the US, yes its true is more expensive than undeveloped world, but in echange of that you have lots of banks willing to lend you money to make business, also plentiful number of investors willing to invest in your company or deals, there are many ways to pay 0 taxes if you know the law, real estate is a very easy tax free avenue. Im in the real estate development buisiness and I can tell you there are like 20 private equity funds in Mexico (no more thatn 10 are actively investing), i mena in the ENTIRE country, in DFW alone there are between 200 to 300, while in Mexico there are 50 banks, only in texas there are houndreds of them.
Exactly that’s an opportunity cost , potential to grow right ?
I agree with you. Sunday I was with 9 Ukrainian immigrants. They have been moving here for opportunities, not less taxes.
@Gregson build to suit and owner financing are the name of the game
@Gregson ey boy, what am going to tell you is pure gold pill commpresed with with knowledge and experience, but im a generous person, first this is not advice, pure experience, so consult with an expert. Being said that, its curiuos you mentioned I build houses back in mexico because i never mention that but thats exactly what i did, I was a small builder building one by one with pure equity from my pockets, then I discovered the magic of real estate debt leverage, so i went to many banks and all of them just closed the door on my face and the ones who dont show me interest rates with more zeros than my school notes. So I decided to make a plan to make it to the US, and made some research for E2 visa. Decided to apply with a construction company/RE development business plan, sell my house in Mexico and bought a heavy equipment in the US. I thought they were going to reject my plan but they didnt. So now Im here and the rest I told you before. Hope you can make it too!
@Gregson you dont need ANY licence to develop RE property, here in texas you dont even need to build it as a general contractor. it looks like you dont know anything about the business, RE DEVELOPING is a financial business, Sorry if i skip steps, im not a teacher
8:47 1) It's Still A Move
10:17 2) You Think You're Saving Taxes But You're Not
11:16 3) A Lot Of People Want "Better Culture"
12:15 4) All The Other People Are Moving (As Well) And Will Make It Worse
13:59 5) Buying Overpriced Assets Right Now That Could Crash
Hi, I love your painting in the background. I have exactly the same , as a poster. I got in many years ago in the 1980s.
I understand your reasoning around taxes HOWEVER, as a former CANADIAN I left and moved to FLORIDA with my wife who has always lived in Florida. We are also looking at property in Montana as for me anyhow, having access to my own food and water sources are more important than saving a little bit of taxes.
I suppose if I was extremely wealthy my sentiment would change however I am personally willing to pay a little more on taxes if it means a log cabin home in the mountains on 20+ acres.
This is precisely why it is impossible to tax the rich and taxes will always be the burden of the lower middle class. The rich leave.
@@SMoore-vj7bt lol. so easy to tell the ignorant liberals. there are 7mil people in the usa w/ $1mil+ in assets. anyone w/ half a brain would tell you that's not rich in this day and age...unless you strive to live a poor life. there's roughly 330mil people in the usa. approx 40mil are < age 18. that leaves 290mil who could/should pay taxes. a few more facts....61% of '20 irs filings didn't pay taxes. 61%! you going to tell me that 61% of this country are rich now?? lol. the number of people not rich who don't pay taxes is astronomical. peddle your fodder elsewhere.
and this folks, is why this country will never be united again. you all turn on your tv's and just suck up the socialist, liberal media's bs. fair share?? you remember why this country was formed? taxation without representation. but the socialist & marxists think representation without taxation is perfectly fine.
socialists/liberals' definition of "paying their fair share:" i pay nothing, all the problems are due to the rich not paying taxes, massive gov't overreach and the gov't should tax based on whatever the next agenda is they want to cram down your throats to buy votes. totally fair. not.
defund the federal gov't. send the socialists packing & let's go back to being a true republic ("to the republic for which it stands"; not to the democracy...") and kick this false narrative of being United to the curb. I bet 1 in 100 know the difference between a republic and a democracy. Socialism & marxism is rampant and govts have never been more overbearing. It will not end. Not sure what disgusts me more. All you liberal/marxists or the silent majority for being a bunch of sheep. at least the marxists are bold.
representative gov't? that's a funny one too. pfft
Montana has higher taxes than Florida? The lack of income tax does not mean the overall tax burden will be less because other types of taxes are higher to make up for it such as property
Don't forget Wyoming
Reading this with 2023 eyes about the water 😢
Right on about Idaho. Joel Skousen wrote a book about it called Strategic Relocation. Peace, soon.
Go to Miami and your basically in the most northern part of South America.
Spanish can be much more than just helpful.
@hi Actually, I live on Biscayne and 26th st. and work security on Collins Ave
Middle Beach, not South Beach.
I am familiar with those areas and also.Doral, Hialeah,Coral Gables and Brickell Ave.
And that's about it.
That's my knowledge of Miami although I knows there's more to it than that.
Previously from southwest Texas Midland originally from Clifton New Jersey.Half the people I work with speak Spanish and English, the other half only Spanish. So that's were that's at.
@hi I do condominium security night shift ,usually I,m sleeping now.
But still awake.Its combined security patrol and front desk work.
It's not hard and I know some Spanish so it's alright for now
If you like crime
If you’re wealthy in Latin America, you are target for criminal syndicates. If you are lower middle class in the U.S., you can reduce some costs in the Latin America and mostly the criminal syndicates do not target you, although the petty criminals will (if you are not careful). But Mexico and Peru for example raised their financial requirements for residency and they will continue to do so. They do not want the lower middle class gringos anymore. Lower middle class gringos are going to end up in U.S. trailer parks within a few years.
man you have so many great points here.
You are smart. This makes a lot of sense.
From my understanding the only way to not pay federal taxes is to move to PRico or renounce US citizenship. I think a lot of people would be OK moving out of the country but would be hesitant to give up citizenship
Still have to pay tax if you wants social security
Just change your status to State National of the United States of America from U.S. Citizen (corporate vassal of United States Inc a Scottish corporation subsequently a papal legal fiction). C.f. the high IQ Anna von Reitz’s exposition of the history of the U.S..
You have to "file" a tax return annually but you don't necessarily have to pay tax to the US gov. There is a foreign earned income exemption up to a certain amount or you can take a credit for foreign income tax paid.
@@cjmhall if you file then you have declared yourself to be a corporate vassal instead of a sovereign State national.
@@cjmhall thanks for the information!
Thank you for this Andrew! We moved to Florida and a few things you have mentioned applied to us right now. This state has changed the last few years and we no longer feel comfortable here and we're actively looking at moving to UK very soon.
✨️ UK, Canada, USA & Australia are expensive and will likely all go totalitarian government soon. Be careful ...
( I agree about Florida. Sold my house there )
@@ComeBackKid1 😲❗️Nancy P could be the next governor ...
@ok-hn4wi Desantis saved Florida from the tyranical lockdowns that transferred all the wealth upwards even more. That was the goal all along. Can't have people being independent, can we? The middle class is a threat to Democrat power.

Moved to Texas almost 20yrs ago and holy hell is it not what it once was.
Consider it Taxes and not Texas.
I miss what it was but won't miss what it became once I move abroad.
Same for Florida
Reconstitute your lawful Texas Assembly and exclude non-landowners from voting as is in the original State Constitution which you are reassembling. I believe it was 10 acres minimum. C.f. high IQ Anna von Reitz’s explanation of the history of the U.S. since the Civil War when the lawful governance and States’ rights were co-opted by the globalists.
@@greensorrel6860 search for Anna von Reitz. Unfortunately YT will censor my comment if I include any links. She has two websites, one is the spelling of her name and the other is state assemblies. That is her pen name. Her legal name is Anna Reizinger. Abraham Lincoln suspended the lawful governance of the U.S. with his illegal Leiber Code martial law. The lawful governance was never reassembled and instead the globalists replaced our government with a Scottish corporation United States Inc. This subsequently transitioned to a papal legal fiction. The Old World aristocracy enslaved the U.S. with the Civil War. It was never about slavery but about States rights. In any case, the Constitution was a delegation of powers to the Federal government which was actually just a contractor hired by the States. The Americans have been entirely duped and turned into corporate vassals. You must correct your status to a State National, then for example income taxes no longer apply. Everything that has happened since the Civil War has been illegal. All those Constitutional amendments are invalid.
Great Job 👍
Thanks for the visit
As a Texan, I support your view on this. Thank you.
Smart man agree everything you say genuinely
"Is there a TGI Friday's in Uruguay?" HA!
Oddly enough, many wealthy citizens of Latin American countries are at present making great effort to immigrate to the USA, particularly from Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America (Brazil and Chile primarily). Families of means are arriving daily in Miami and the trend shows no sign of slowing. Yet, despite this, many American citizens seem more and more drawn to the idea of emigrating to Latin America, probably for a myriad number of reasons but cost of living and perceptions of freedom seems to be chief amongst them at the moment. Perhaps capital is simply moving across the globe due to a general sense of instability or economic malaise? Puzzling situation, I’m not quite sure what to make of it.
If you’re wealthy in Latin America, you are target for criminal syndicates. If you are lower middle class in the U.S., you can reduce some costs in the Latin America and mostly the criminal syndicates do not target you, although the petty criminals will (if you are not careful). But Mexico and Peru for example raised their financial requirements for residency and they will continue to do so. They do not want the lower middle class gringos anymore. Lower middle class gringos are going to end up in U.S. trailer parks within a few years.
Trust me. I’m from Chile. Don’t move here. It has morphed into a third world shit hole. And we are still the “best” country here. The only country that doesn’t suck for the moment is Uruguay…but it is a very small country and in LATAM you don’t know for how long Uruguay will be prosperous. LATAM countries have a vice of always electing leftist dictators into power.
Will, I have lived in Asia, Europe ,UK, USA and Central America. In US , I have lived in Texas,Ok, Florida and have visited the whole West Coast for long periods of time. My opinion, if u want to do business it is in Texas and lived very well there and go vacation in all these other places.
That's because all other countries are sold the American lie. There is so much propaganda in Latin America that the US is paved with gold and the land of the free. Etc. Then they get here and are slaves to the gov. They were freer back home and Mexico is BEAUTIFUL. They crazy lol
@@judymckee5992 I have lived in the Philippines, Baja California, California, Texas, Arizona, Washington state, and New Orleans. I have visited Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore as well as several other U.S. States. Maybe it depends on which sort of business you will do. For AirBnB’s I think it might be better outside the U.S.A. if not in a saturated place like Colombia, due to the lower property taxes, less druggies, less chance of getting sued, less expensive insurance, etc.. Although the AirBnB I rented in McAllen, TX is persistently fully booked. I suspect a real estate agent will earn the most and most efficiently in the U.S. for example. Texas has been booming. For those of us who generate our income online or are retired, then other considerations take precedence with Texas getting a downgrade from me (compared to high elevation Arizona and the Pacific West Coast) due to its hot a.f. summers.
Good Points.
Pretty much if you have to get on an airplane at all to go see family, less you want to drive for the good part of a day, then the flight time should be a non-issue. Whether it is a 1 hour flight or a 10 hour flight you are still burning part of a day so you might as well live across the Atlantic Ocean in Europe somewhere or in central / south America or on an Island nation in the gulf / Atlantic ocean.
I have relatives in El Paso, TX. One thing I've noticed is that the rich people in town live in neighboring New Mexico. So there must be something to these high property taxes in Texas after all...
I just moved out of California to a state where there is no state income tax. This is saving over 1k in taxes which pays for my rent. Not everyone is ready or able to move out of the country. It is a more complex process IMO and if you work remotely, many employers won't allow to work remotely out of country for tax implications.
i'd prefer you all stayed in CA. none of us want your liberal/marxist/green bs agendas shoved down our throats. this is now the biggest problem in the USA. CA residents (7th largest economy in the world if it were its own country) are leaving and then destroying the political/tax environment in the states they move to. i'd prefer a wall between the west coast states and the rest of the country before a wall w/ mexico.
@@cardp17 Last I checked, we still live in a free country and we can move and live where ever we want. Only people with small minds think that everyone that lives in CA is a liberal, there are many conservatives there but are the minority. Like the Nomad Capitalist says, you are free to move where you are treated best and if you don't like it, move.
@@antonioaa8097 freedom is an illusion in this country. govt controls or is involved in every aspect of your life....including your body. how anyone can say this is a free country after the way govt acted during the pandemic is.....well, i can now understand why americans keep thinking the next election is going to fix anything; it's a nation of fools & sheep.
@@antonioaa8097 nope. you're either a socialist or the sheep who "oppose" them. good job! bang up job the repubs have done there.
...as soon as you pick a side the POLITICIANS, oops, i mean the ruling class win; never its citizens. just going to get worse. baaaahhhh baaaahhh
Lol $1000 in income tax savings? You mostly are not rich enough to benefit from no income tax states. Those states usually have regressive taxation.
“Is there a TGI Fridays in Uruguay?” This is why NC is the best channel on RUclips 😂😂😂
Very informative, cool channel
I have a friend who decided to live on a boat, and she's never been happier. She can still run her business, stay in contact with her daughter in college and friends, she just got out of the biggest aspects of the rat race which is home ownership. Her environment is often populated with vacationers, pensioners, adventurers and others who steps off the grid for one reason or the other on boats themselves, drastically different from living in a densely populated area or the middle of nowhere. To go and live wherever her boat can take her literally anytime has a quality of Independence compared to others stuck with a home mortgage or condo lease.
To each his/her own. I won't live on a boat since I am always seasick.
yeah, ok. boats are a constant expense. always need something. Rather than tell us about her - let's hear about you!! I want to know what you think
Three bedroom used 50ft Cat is 1.4 million
As someone with 0$ in his bank account this was very interesting thank you sir
great information
Florida is definitely becoming way too crowded and expensive! Things are so different than they were a couple of years ago.
Months
@@jasonsmith530 oh snap you’re right
It’s very expensive South Florida now. And it’s not to safe compare to others cities in US. And the level of people are not that great.
I live in Texas and frequent Costa Rica and Panama with the plan to retire to Panama in 4 years at age 59.
I still plan to have a place in Texas though. I want to watch your video to see if it addresses why I shouldn't do that. I don't hate the US, but I value life outside it.
Costa Rica s better,better education,ideal mountain climate,people are educated,the food s ideak with fresh vegetables from the volcanic lands,beach an hour away,a country rated among the best in Latin Ametica
Hello from Mississippi! Andrew Id think that in the way of taxes and freedom youd like the south for a US option but as someone whos traveled to many countries in the world there's so many more benefits if you are willing to move abroad but i feel like most people arent open minded enough to do it!
Quality of life should be discussed more. If you are only saving a few bucks here and there is it really worth moving to Texas or Florida for example if you are indoors all of the time because of the oppressive heat? You have to have money to live a good life in Florida, Texas you still need a good amount of money but not so much. It's also a culture that takes some time getting used to, some would never adjust. I'm talking open carry of guns, religion, and in your face racism. They casually throw the N word into everyday conversations to the point where I've had to say "Just because I'm white doesn't automatically mean I'm a racist!". If you are retired why would anyone move to either place? I moved to Mexico and the weather, people and food are more than enough for me to be happy and content and my health care is not something I'll ever have to worry about. I really like not feeling a need to pack a gun just to go outside for a walk. It's a family oriented culture, where people aren't wrapped up in politics and children still laugh and play in the streets. Whole families go out in the late afternoons to the city plazas for socializing, tacos, music and dancing into the night. "Wait up for Gramma to get ready!"
Thanks Andrew. Is the easiest way to live overseas to get a job instead of residency?
Is is easy to get a job in IAE since US firms are there?
This is a very good video
If you move to another country you still have to pay federal taxes if you move out of the country. However the quality of life for some folks are better…ie more outdoor living is healthier
We love our new life in Florida 😍
We moved from NJ to FL last year and we couldn’t be happier. We have talked about moving overseas but we have two young kids right now (6 & 2) and it’s a big commitment that we aren’t sure about. Also I would never revoke my American citizenship.
Welcome aboard!
@8:53, “is there a TGIF in Paraguay?” Yes, but not necessarily by the same brand. Satellite communication, internet, air travel, and global brands have homogenized the experience of people living many major cities. For example, you can order your favorite beer, McDonald BigMac, Pizza Hut, Netflix’s movies, and other familiar stuff whether you’re living in NYC, London, Paris, Berlin, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, or Tokyo. The only difference is the tax.
I totally agree with what you said and follow a lot of your video. The only problem now is that I don't have 7- or 8-digit income nor high net worth.
Andrew your points are well taken, and having lived in Florida since 1987 I’ve seen many changes, especially the last few years. That being said, absent renouncing your Us citizenship, how do you avoid federal taxes which are based on citizenship and not location.
You don’t. 💸
Just change your status to State National of the United States of America from U.S. Citizen (corporate vassal of United States Inc a Scottish corporation subsequently a papal legal fiction). C.f. the high IQ Anna von Reitz’s exposition of the history of the U.S..
@Will Swift search for Anna von Reitz. Unfortunately YT will censor my comment if I include any links. She has two websites, one is the spelling of her name and the other is state assemblies. That is her pen name. Her legal name is Anna Reizinger. Abraham Lincoln suspended the lawful governance of the U.S. with his illegal Leiber Code martial law. The lawful governance was never reassembled and instead the globalists replaced our government with a Scottish corporation United States Inc. This subsequently transitioned to a papal legal fiction. The Old World aristocracy enslaved the U.S. with the Civil War. It was never about slavery but about States rights. In any case, the Constitution was a delegation of powers to the Federal government which was actually just a contractor hired by the States. The Americans have been entirely duped and turned into corporate vassals. You must correct your status to a State National, then for example income taxes no longer apply. Everything that has happened since the Civil War has been illegal. All those Constitutional amendments are invalid.
And don't forget your exit taxes.
exactly...and how do you avoid them in the country in which are currently living, who often have very high taxes. In the country I'm in, for starters, it's a 23% tax on "stuff" at the store.
I’m moving because I don’t want to get shot. I live 15 miles from the latest mass shooting on the 4th… it’s scary. I didn’t go out that weekend and I am so glad!
On taxes, I remember when my mom relocated from high tax Minnesota to Missouri. Although Missouri was lower, they found other ways to get you. They included your vehicle in your property tax where they didn't in Minnesota. When I lived in Minnesota, they didn't have sales tax on clothes & food.
Great video
I am an expat and know a lot of expats. None of the people I know relocated because of taxes. Quality of life is composed of so many tangible and intangible things that taxes is rarely the dealbreaker for most people.
Yes, there definitely are lots of lovely people in Mississippi! In general, the people there are some of the kindest, most caring and most genuine people I've ever met. I say this after having lived in multiple states scattered all over the country. However, the quality of life in Mississippi is lacking in other ways, and that state is definitely not for everybody,
God Bless the Great people from Mississippi! (Mother's people)
My ancestors were in the first Mississippi militia. I remember growing up in New Orleans one of our childhood games was to see who could spell out verbally m-i-ss-i-ss-i-pp-i the fastest, lol.
you can improve quality of life
This isa very important discussion. thans
I am curious what your thoughts are about Bali and Indonesia?
I just moved to Bali 5 months ago and absolutely love it.
Yeah it's nice there but you have to be vaccinated. Not an option for us purebloods.
@@therock8224 not necessarily
@@trentbriggs1198 You do have to be vaccinated to enter Bali or Indonesia in general from abroad. Unless you qualify for an exemption, which almost no doctor will issue. That is, until the Indonesian government finally scraps the requirement. It's one of the last countries to hold onto it.
Once you're in Bali, you can't fly to other parts of the country without showing proof of 3 clot shots either.
What about for those who don't have a ton of money? I do love the idea of more of my money staying mine.
The only thing keeping me in the states is my 80 y/o mom who is in declining health. I don't want to half a world away from her if she needs me but when she leaves this world I am leaving the states for good probably for Ireland or maybe Portugal.
She could live to 97. Move now.. no mother would want to hold her son back. Move back when she's in hospice. xx
My son moved from Silicon Valley to Miami Beach . Working remotely same salary but don’t pay income tax in Florida. He loves living in Miami Beach.
I moved up to 500 miles away from where I grew up and came to realize that with airlines and rental cars I could get home very easily. I am now about 350 miles away from my 2 siblings and where I grew up and it is easy enough to drive back to what was home. My one sister lives in Arizona and is about 1500 to 1800 miles away and if I pick the right flight even on a budget airlines I see her in about 4 to 5 hours. I grew up in a high tax state which has had an exodus of industry and jobs. Frankly its no longer home and I wouldn't dream of moving back to where I grew up and where my other 2 siblings live. Its warmer here, has less taxes, & plenty of work and help wanted signs. If my wife would move or if she heaven forbids dies I could see myself moving over seas very easily or to someplace else in the USA that has even lower taxes than here and doesn't tax retirement income. ( Social security, 401 K payouts, etc) Transportation has really changed and distance is no longer as big of a problem as it was in the past. When you die you can even get your body moved back to the USA or any other location that you want for burial. One of my uncles wrote this into his will. Personally, it is a family tradition to see the person before you die and none of us has even been back to our parents' grave. My parents are not in their grave, they are elsewhere according to our beliefs. I am sure that you can disperse money for airline tickets by a written documet before your death. Where ever I am at is where they can bury me.
what the folks that move to Texas don't understand (most of them) is that YES you pay less for a house but what they don't take into account is that you Pay MORE in Property Taxes on the value of your home. So Yes the homes in CA are more but the taxes are less. A 800k dollar home in Tx cost you on avg 20K+ a year in Taxes (without Exemptions), and it just keeps going up because they keep raising the value of your home every year. There are so many WELL established neighborhoods in TX, for some reason their value keeps climbing EVERY yr by $35-50K. It's ridiculous. You see in Texas ONLY property Owners Pay Independent School district Taxes known as ISD taxes. So what happens is: City property Taxes get added to County Property Taxes which in turn are added to ISD taxes, in the end you're paying between 2.40% - 2.62% + on the value of your home in Taxes EVERY year. So when you're house is COMPLETELY paid off and you live, in a 500K home, you'll still be paying close to 15K in taxes a yr. Oh and don't be late.
Reconstitute your lawful Texas Assembly and exclude non-landowners from voting as is in the original State Constitution which you are reassembling. I believe it was 10 acres minimum. C.f. high IQ Anna von Reitz’s explanation of the history of the U.S. since the Civil War when the lawful governance and States’ rights were co-opted by the globalists.
@@SMoore-vj7bt from my understanding I read that the ISD Tax was Unconstitutional according to the Texas constitution. But so far NOTHING has been done about it. Everything is Bigger in Texas, even the WAITING Times.
@@FunDuude the entire State government (of every State in the Union) is illegitimate because the State Assemblies were not reassembled after the Civil War. The Municipal contractor is now running roughshod over the hoodwinked Americans. The majority are headed for enslavement. You can not expect anything if attempting to work within the illegal system. Let the majority have their enslavement. We can reassemble our own lawful government as Anna explained in detail the jurisprudence. Of course the illegal government may attempt to kill us. I would rather be dead than submit to where the world is headed. Please at least be informed and read Anna’s exposition at her website. Frankly I think the actual (only safe haven) frontier going forward is only technological and intangible, but that is another topic.
@@SMoore-vj7bt ...What you're saying sounds good. There's a lot of "Illegitimacy" going on in the U.S. Starting with those that claim to Respect and Follow the Constitution. And from there it trickles down to Local Constitutions and Charters. Stuff as old as America.
But I'm curious, is there a Law that says that State assemblies had to RE assemble after the civil war?
@@FunDuude that merits a long discussion, which we can not do in this format on YT. Hope I can encounter you in a proper forum where we can hash this out properly. Note there is more going on at the Big Picture level that needs to be factored in. I want to suggest you read Curtis Yarvin’s Gray Mirror substack. His latest essay *You* *can* *only* *lose* *the* *culture* *war* is excellent. I elaborate on my trading view.
“The reality is” that hopefully you will grow old and health problems might occur. At least in FL, as an American you can access Federal Medicare. As a disabled vet, I pay no real estate property taxes. Also, there is no state income tax (instead we gouge the tourists with various fees). The cost of living is modest compared to CA or NY. You can fish and golf ⛳️ year round too.
I think you are right and I am Canadian looking to move soon.
Canadians would be more than welcome in (Idaho, Montana or Wyoming), I think.
Moved from Washington to Texas close to 6 years ago. Started in austin to have a similar style of living but better politics. Ended up doing recon in east texas and found the land to be very affordable and I ended up building an off grid house on a fedex driver schedule/salary. Opportunity for business is amazing here, cost of living is minimal and i can still get all my boujee food and supplies in town. Only downside is that if you don't take any self sufficient initiative then the power grid is pretty fragile and tornadoes are a real threat.
As someone who moved 4000 miles to a new life and hold two passports I can tell you that you won’t be happier (or less happy) because you live elsewhere. Also tax rates are totally uncorrelated to personal happiness. Denmark and other Scandinavian countries year after year score highest in personal happiness. Most low tax counties come way down the list. I am a big fan of living in other counties and enjoying your one life but forget idea that lower taxes = better life.
happiness is subjective, your version of "happiness" is different from mine or someone else.
@@yeahrightgetreal true but there are objective measures of happiness and strong studies at the population level. You can be happy and live in Florida but in general you will be less happy than someone in Copenhagen.
@@Lanark83 Didn't you say you won't be happier or less happy if you live elsewhere? Why less happy in Florida than Copenhagen because of lower taxes in Florida?
My point is low taxes don’t make you happier. Many other factors also contribute to this such as community, social cohesion and healthcare / safety net etc. These tend to be less present in low tax, individualistic states / countries.
Arby is not with us on the whole live abroad thing
For someone who is not rich, I get disability from the VA, I am looking instead at the Philippines and Thailand. My one reservation is that this is my only source of income and that needs to change because if the US government goes belly up I need to be able to still live. Ideas?
spot on... about moving!
Spread the word 👍😉
they're already charging California prices in Texas im from Dallas im witnessing it.
I lived in Dallas for years until 6 years ago. I hear you need at least $3000 a month to live there now, but in ways I saw that coming because of all the people moving there from other towns, states, and countries.
I don’t want to say which side I’m on, but he’s not wrong when he talks about fearing a civil war, and I want to move to a safer place with my values. Even if it costs me a little more.
And we’re glad to not have you voting in Texas. Stay where you are.
@@thetexaschad you can't tell someone where to stay.
I can promise you that those two states do not want California Values!
FUD.
@@thetexaschad How do you know he isn't conservative? That was not clear AT ALL with his post. People that talk about values are usually red voters, the left don't have any of their own values, they just get top down narrative that sounds virtuous and repeat it so they dont get cancelled. I never hear my blue voting friends ever say the word values.
Well said.
Very interesting! Retired and looking for best weather at the lowest cost of living. Lake Chapala area of Mexico looking good. Currently in Az. Any thoughts?

@@msdella4253 Thank you so much!
As long as other westerners are also moving to “best weather, lower cost living” areas… the cost of living in those areas won’t actually be “low”.
