@WealthCoachMak I'm selling SPX options Calendars , DDs , Flys, etc and netting 10% to 20% a month. What are you doing wrong?

@TheJerzWay How does the exit tax work regarding reunification?

50% of Caribbean citizenship applications are now Americans. Newsweek just reported it. Antigua. Dominica. St. Kitts. They're paying $250K+ for a passport thinking it's their "Plan B." Here's why most of them are wasting their money... 🧵

@eftegarie How do you deal with that year round Bangkok heat?

I tell my enemies to stay in the West. I tell acquaintances to move to Asia. And I tell friends to come to Bangkok.

@brockwayonline No love for Southern Brazil?

@TheJerzWay Is there any "optimizing" for US passport holders besides moving to Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands or a few other US territories?

The digital nomad dream is a scam. I'm going to explain why most "geoarbitrage" advice is keeping you poor. In 2015, the pitch was simple: "Move to Medellin. Live like a king on $1,500/month. Work from a coffee shop. Retire early." Thousands of people bought it. Here's what actually happened: Everyone moved to the same cities. Landlords saw remote workers paying in dollars and euros. Rents tripled. Lisbon went from $600/month to $2,400. Medellín from $500 to $1,800. Mexico City from $700 to $2,200. The "cheap" cities aren't cheap anymore. But here's the part no one talks about: The rent savings were always a rounding error. Let me show you the real math: Nomad A: Saves $1,500/month on rent in Bali Nomad A: Still pays 37% tax on $300K income Annual rent savings: $18,000 Annual tax bill: $111,000 Nomad B: Lives wherever they want (even expensive places) Nomad B: Panama tax residency, 0% on foreign income Annual rent savings: $0 Annual tax bill: $0 Who's actually winning? The "geoarbitrage" influencers sold you on the wrong arbitrage. They had you optimizing for $8 pad thai while ignoring the $100K+ leak in your structure. Real talk: At $100K income, tax optimization matters more than rent. At $300K income, it's not even close. At $500K+, you're literally giving away a house every year. The dirty secret of the nomad community: The people who actually got rich didn't do it by living cheap. They did it by: - Restructuring their tax residency - Setting up proper entities - Building in territorial tax jurisdictions The laptop-on-beach crowd is cosplaying wealth. The quiet ones with Panama and Paraguay cedulas are building it. This isn't about living in a cave to save money. It's about keeping $200K/year instead of sending it to your tax authority. You can live in Miami, Paris, and Tokyo. You just need the right structure underneath. The nomad influencers won't tell you this because: 1. They don't understand tax law 2. They can't monetize it with affiliate links 3. It requires actual work to set up So they keep posting "Top 10 Cheapest Cities for Digital Nomads" while hemorrhaging money to taxes they don't legally owe. The real geoarbitrage in 2026: ❌ Cheap rent ❌ Low cost coffee ❌ $5 massages ✅ Territorial taxation ✅ Legal entity structure ✅ Tax residency optimization Same concept. Different game. Actual results. The question isn't "where can I live cheaply?" The question is "where should I be tax resident?" Answer that correctly and the rest is lifestyle preference. Stop optimizing for pad thai. Start optimizing for structure.

@ProfePlata3 @Gyim369960 @MurrayHillGuy1 Exactly. These weekend warriors with zero Spanish ,that fly Spirit into Medellin for the week ain't getting nothing much but whores. There are outliers though. Add scopolamine to the mix .☠️..The good ol days are dwindling. (I've lived in Medellin for 20yrs btw.)

@Gyim369960 @MurrayHillGuy1 These folks bag only prostitutes and then claim them as bodies

Easiest NON-US cities to get laid 1. Medellín 2. Bangkok 3. Cancún 4. Ibiza 5. Rio de Janeiro 6. Prague 7. Barcelona 8. Amsterdam 9. Buenos Aires 10. Budapest

@TicTocTick TikTocTick is an Indian from Mumbai and doesn't know car brands well

He’s worth 200 billion dollars . Compounded 20% CAGR for over 60 years beating S&P500 by a million percentage. Still lives in a 1.5 million house. Still drives a Toyota. Legend ✊

@TheJerzWay What's the move to save on US taxes as a stock trader (US passport) ?

Unpopular opinion: If you're European and paying more than €5K/year in tax on your foreign income, you don't have a tax problem. You have a structure problem. Cyprus: 0% on dividends Malta: 0% on offshore income The information is free. The execution is what you pay for.

@optionscjp True. Selling SPX 100 wide balanced Flys 3 weeks out , and Calendars 30, 40 points below market 14 days out. Learn adjustments and DISCIPLINE. Take 10 to 20% get out.

I think if someone had $500k cash and sold options with it - that’s enough to probably never work again. Given a frugal lifestyle and managing their positions right.. You could make $5-$10k per month no problem. And it would compound.

@TheAlphaThought In South America or SE Asia it is

Is $1M still enough to retire on in 2026? I'll go first: No. Not even close in most major cities. A 4% withdrawal rate gives you $40K/year. That's $3,333/month BEFORE taxes.

@slopwareindy @dieselbabyy @jacobrodri_ Same with small town America. Your chances of getting shot are slim plus legally armed, if desired

@dieselbabyy @jacobrodri_ Lol, where I live in the south of France you're more likely to get hurt tripping over a shitty sidewalk than anything else. I'm certainly not getting gunned down in Lidl.

How is it legal to make $10k/month and lose nearly 50% to taxes? Europe is finished

@JoshYusifov Could you see yourself living in Ho Chi Minh? What didn't you like about it? Thanks

🇻🇳After Vietnam what is my next digital nomad destination? May be Tbilisi, Georgia🇬🇪 I have been there a year ago: > Great coffeeshops(Fabrika) > Great food and people > Coworking spots > Safe city > Affordable prices

@TheJerzWay I assume moving to Puerto Rico for 6 months a yr is the only option for low taxes, correct?

Summary: 🇺🇸 = trapped (citizenship-based tax) 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇪🇺 = freedom (residence-based tax) If you're NOT American, you have options Americans literally can't access. Paraguay or Panama: 2 trips. Permanent residency. Territorial tax. Zero tax on foreign income. DM if you want the breakdown.

Your country of citizenship determines your tax strategy. Not where you live. Not where your company is. Not where your bank is. Here's what nobody explains about the passport you already have: 🧵

@MDE_Unmapped New red brick construction in the middle of Medellin for 2029. There's more I'm positive in your barrio popular 🤡. Chao pues

@devilfishl44 En Itagüí? jajajajaj no haga más el ridículo

They're building some wild stuff in Medellín right now. Gone are the days of plain brick facades lol

@MDE_Unmapped How many more projects do you want me to show you " CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION" with red brick? 🤡 estrenarvivienda.com/nuevo-poblado-…

@devilfishl44 My point is that they’re no longer building brick buildings you clown

@Valerie_Onchain How would you compare Ho Chi Minh vs Bangkok for living long-term? Thanks

In the last 5 months, I’ve been to 5 countries and 9 cities across Asia And here’s my honest take on all of them: 🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi - really liked it. Clean, beautiful, great weather in winter and a lot of things to do. But to me it feels more like a city to visit than a city to stay in long term. I wouldn’t personally choose it for everyday life. 🇦🇪 Dubai - Dubai is Dubai. If you have money, life there can be amazing. I could definitely see myself spending some time there just for the experience. 🇹🇭 Bangkok - I spent a month there and really liked it. So much food, malls, markets, shops, 7/11 and things to do, good prices. You can find literally anything there. But the traffic is insane, moving around the city is exhausting and sometimes it feels like there’s not enough air or greenery. 🇻🇳 Da Nang - at first I liked it a lot, but later I started noticing more downsides. Great for a short stay, but not for too long. Too much construction, too much noise, hard to cross the road. But the beach, warm water and food were amazing. I liked the food here even more than in Thailand. 🇻🇳 Hoi An - very cute, touristy, atmospheric. A nice place to visit for the culture, lanterns, boats and enjoy the vibe for a bit. 🇻🇳 Ho Chi Minh - cool city, but super loud and chaotic. Lots of shops, local brands, restaurants and good food. The War Museum leaves a strong impression too. Interesting city. 🇻🇳 Phu Quoc - I loved it. Especially the north of the island. We stayed in a hotel in the forest with a pool, and it was such a good experience. Warm water, peaceful atmosphere, beautiful nature. The south was less my thing because it felt much more touristy. 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur - probably my biggest surprise. I regret only staying 5 days. It felt so clean, calm, organized and pleasant. Way fewer bikes, very nice people and overall it didn’t even feel like the chaotic version of Asia people usually imagine. I really loved it there. 🇸🇬 Singapore - a childhood dream for me. I’m still so happy I made it there. For me, it felt almost too perfect. Gardens by the Bay is unreal, like I was inside of Avatar. I was genuinely in shock the whole time. If I had to choose the two places, it’s definitely Kuala Lumpur and Phu Quoc. Those are the two places I’d love to come back to the most.

@drewcrawford_ @derekcsnook Nice . I assume you traveled a bit around Brazil in 12 yrs. What other cities would you consider living in Brazil? Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Balnerio camboriu maybe... Ive been in Medellin, Col 20 yrs now and looking maybe for a change. Thanks

The real downsides: heavy bureaucracy (opening a company takes weeks, not days), complex tax system, logistics infrastructure still being built out, security varies a lot by city and neighborhood, and the banking system will test your patience early on. But after 12 years going back and forth, I can tell you the problems are operational. They get solved with time, local relationships, and adaptation. The quality of life, the relative cost, the climate, and the way people actually live here... there's no equivalent. BA is incredible to visit. Florianópolis is incredible to stay.

Eu podia morar em qualquer lugar do mundo... Nova York. Miami. Lisboa. Dubai. Escolhi o Brasil 🇧🇷 Moro em Florianópolis. Passei os últimos 12 anos indo e voltando entre os Estados Unidos e o Brasil. Cada vez que voltava pros EUA, a contagem regressiva pra voltar começava no aeroporto. Aqui eu janto com amigos às 22h numa terça-feira e ninguém olha o relógio. Aqui o desconhecido no elevador puxa conversa de verdade, não só "how are you" com resposta automática. Aqui o churrasquinho de calçada às 18h com um guaraná gelado tem mais qualidade de vida do que qualquer restaurante de US$200 em Manhattan. Aqui eu saio de casa de chinelo, tomo um café na padaria da esquina, e volto caminhando pela mar. Aqui a natureza não é um parque que você visita no fim de semana. É a sua vida. Praia, montanha, trilha, cachoeira... tudo a 20 minutos. Nos Estados Unidos, as pessoas vivem pra trabalhar. Aqui, as pessoas trabalham pra viver. E ninguém pede desculpa por isso. O Brasil tem seus problemas. Eu sei. Eu vivo eles todo dia. Mas nenhum problema apaga o fato de que as pessoas aqui sabem viver. Sabem rir. Sabem acolher. Sabem transformar qualquer momento num momento bom. Isso não se compra. Não se exporta. Não se replica. É por isso que eu estou aqui.

@larosecat Alot of way cheaper great food place in safe middle class areas in Medellin. O def other great smaller cities

Ay jueputa cansones, la gente que me dice que me largue de Medellín si me parece tan cara pues DENME LA PLATA Y ME VOY. Enchimbados, creen que cuesta 3 pesos mudarse de ciudad.
