“The Brand That Built Panama” That’s what they call my friend, Jose Bern’s company, Empresas Bern. When you take a look at the Singapore-style skyline of Panama City… know that Jose’s company is responsible for a big chunk of the city’s—and the country’s—growth. But in many ways, Panama’s growth is not like that of Singapore… [...]
I was in the middle of the Nevada Desert… I pushed through the door of the house, and shot the man on the other side… The guy I shot was a retired Navy SEAL. After hitting him, I took out two more guys… What was going on? The Navy SEAL was one of our SWAT [...]
Years ago I heard a definition of “wealthy” that has stuck with me. Being wealthy, the thinking goes, is having enough passive income to cover your living expenses. I know people who make a lot more money than I do each year, but they aren’t wealthy. Some of them are living paycheck to paycheck. They […]
The thing bluewater sailing teaches you… is that if something goes wrong on a boat, you are all alone. The sensible person always has a backup plan, a Plan B. In my 20s, I sailed a small yacht, mostly solo, three-fourths of the way around the world. This journey took seven years. (My sailboat is [...]
Never before in the history of the United States has your wealth been more vulnerable than it is right now… This is not true for the super-rich only. It’s true no matter who you are and regardless how much wealth you’ve managed to build for yourself. The bad news is that there’s more hardship to [...]
The places that are the most popular locations for tourists to visit… and might even be on your own “bucket list”… don’t always make the best places to live full-time. That should be obvious. If you’re on vacation yourself, you might not mind joining crowds of other vacationers on the beaches in Cancún… or in [...]
I’m no Nostradamus. I usually stay out of the business of making predictions. But I know, just by looking at what’s happening in America right now, that certain things are inevitable… I fear Americans are sitting on a ticking time bomb… This has nothing to do with trillion-dollar debt or immigration or careless money printing [...]
OK. I’ll do it. I don’t like to write here about every twist and turn in the U.S. news… I don’t usually even like to watch the U.S. news. But readers are always asking me for my thoughts on the latest things happening back home… And the viral hit “Rich Men North Of Richmond” has [...]
A few years back, at a Live And Invest Overseas conference, an attendee approached me to talk about his offshore goals. He’d just sold his business, and he was getting ready for retirement… In his golden years, he wanted to be “wealthy in three countries.” What does that mean? And how can you achieve it? [...]
Got any plans yet for next month? Why don’t you join me in Panama City for a few days? It could be the most profitable decision you make all year… and I promise, we’ll have fun, too. (Cocktail parties… rum tastings… schmoozing with the “best in the business”… it’s all on the schedule.) The Offshore […]
