The latest monthly report for my investment in a factoring program in Colombia arrived in my email over the weekend. The projected yield from this investment is 13% annualized.

If you’re just getting started at this, here’s the most important thing to understand: This doesn’t […]
The second tax season for U.S. tax preparers is coming to a close. The due date for any U.S. person who extended his filing deadline is Oct. 15, just around the corner. Meaning I’m spending a lot of time these days putting my tax return together. Friends from other countries don’t understand why Americans living […]
