In 1494, in the kingdom of Fife—the ancient seat of Scottish kings—James IV sent an order to his preferred apothecary, Friar John Cor. It read: “To Brother John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt”. In modern parlance, his majesty had just placed an order for 800 gallons [...]
We’re all looking for a “sure thing.” An investment we know is going to make us money—no matter what. I personally have never invested much of my net worth in stocks. They’re volatile. You need to pay too much attention to them. You need to know exactly when to buy and when to sell—or you [...]

I’ve been in love with Belize since the first time I set foot on its sandy, sun-drenched shores. That was nearly 40 years ago. I was a young girl just starting out. I didn’t know much but enough to recognize the value of what Belize brought to the table. On its Caribbean caye called Ambergris, [...]

A rental property is the most common way to diversify your investment portfolio beyond borders. Buy an ocean-view condo on Ambergris Caye, Belize, or a well-located pied-a-terre in the City of Light and you can rent it out for cash flow in the local currency when you’re not using it for well-deserved getaways yourself. A [...]
I’ve never been much into stocks. It’s not that I have any ideological objection to them, or anything like that. I always just thought they took too much time and management. The market goes up and down all the time—I would have to be looking at my portfolio every day and judging when to buy [...]
Last year, more than 338,000 Americans moved away from home for retirement. That’s 44% more than in 2022. A cooling housing market and lower inflation help explain this big number. Put simply, more people could afford to move away from home last year compared to the year before. Where did all these retirees end up? [...]
I can point you toward plenty of elite destinations where billionaires moor their super-yachts… But this is the one they don’t want you to know about. Forbes likens this tiny European country to Monaco… And Robb Report claims it’s “The Mediterranean’s New Jet Set Hotspot.” With stunning fjords and a pristine landscape overlooking the same stretch of water as Italy, [...]
“You need to get on a plane.” That was the feedback Kathleen Peddicord got from her property scout when she sent him to Panama for the first time in 1998. Back then, real estate in Panama was a screaming bargain. You could buy big, well-built homes for as little as $20,000. Kathleen did indeed get on a plane and [...]
