Ett avsnitt om kommande 10-20 år, baserat på Ray Dalios bok och film Changing World Order. De tre största sakerna att vara vaksam inför är: Nytt världssystem – “New World Order”.   (Jämför 1945 WW2, Bretton Woods, USA) med ny global stormakt eller allians av länder. Antagligen blir det Kina.  Nya institutioner och finansiellt system. Slutet för gamla ineffektiva organisationer som FN, EU, och kanske till och med även centralbankerna. Och risken att det blir en global konflikt eller kanske till och med ett tredje världskrig. Några dagsaktuella ämnen som detta hör samman med är Fastighetsmarknaden (och höjd ränta), Geoarbitrage i samband med försvagade valutor och länder på nedgång, samt den 30-åriga trenden av stigande Energikonsumtion.

All of my episodes are fun but who would have thought we could have such a great time talking about GEOARBITRAGE! Are you saying to yourself, Asma, what the hell is geoarbitrage? I said the same thing but thank goodness I am speaking with Rachel Covert who can answer that question and more. If you do not know Rachel Covert, Rachel retired in 2021 at the age of 36 after achieving financial independence/retire early (FI/RE). She set off on her dream to travel the world full time and discovered a huge lack of financial literacy among Americans. Rachel launched Electri FI Financial Coaching and made it her mission to educate women about financial literacy and help them achieve financial independence. While traveling full time and enjoying the benefits of geoarbitrage, Rachel leads a group coaching program to empower women to manage their money and invest with confidence to build lasting, sustainable wealth.  Join us as we discuss: Digital Nomads Leaving corporate life Difference between Travel and Vacation Pursuing financial independence Smashing limiting beliefs Emotional support What is geoarbitrage?

“My pandemic essay was so badly received; I got massively dragged on Twitter for it, practically canceled. And then it ended up in Best American Travel Writing.”  –Meghan Daum In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Meghan discuss what it means to be called "the voice of a generation" (4:00); why Meghan moved to Nebraska early in her career, and what it's like to live and create in the provinces versus the metropole (9:20); the difficulty of continuing to make a living as a creative person, and mid-life career reinvention (16:00); Meghan's essay about moving to rural Virginia during the pandemic, how it was poorly received, and her anxieties about living as a "geoarbitrage" outsider (22:30); Meghan's career pivot into commenting on the culture wars, and how social media algorithms made this cultural rift more of an issue (35:00); and Rolf's concerns that the politicization and performative certainty of social discourse will make young people less open to the vulnerabilities and uncertainties of travel (44:45). Meghan Daum (@meghan_daum) is the host of The Unspeakable Podcast and is the author of six books.

As a real estate investor – and possibly in your 9-5 as well – you can earn money from anywhere. Here's how to take the fullest advantage or that freedom.

Matt Pasierbek is the Host of the Journey to Freedom podcast, where he talks about world travel, finances, and success stories with people around the world. He's also on his own personal journey to Financial Independence. On this episode of CFO at Home, Matt and Vince discuss the Financial Independence and Financial Independence Retire Early movements (FI and FIRE), Geoarbitrage, the importance of aggressive saving to achieving financial independence, and more. Key Takeaways: The following is from our friends at the Motley Fool: Financial Independence Means, in the most basic sense, that an individual no longer needs to work for money. Put another way, they are no longer financially dependent on an employer to provide them with a paycheck. From a purely mathematical standpoint, achieving financial independence requires having enough assets saved to predictably cover your living expenses in perpetuity. A good starting point is to set a savings goal based on the 4% withdrawal rule, which works out to building a nest egg equal to about 25 times your annual spending requirements. For example, someone who needs $50,000 per year would need to have a $1.25 million portfolio. Financial Independence, Retire Early The FIRE movement is made up of mostly ordinary individuals who have rallied around the principles of financial independence. Some are incredibly aggressive savers, some are remarkable investors, and some are insanely high earners. But all want to reduce the dependence they have on their respective employers and at least have the option to live life on their own terms. When it comes to FIRE, you most certainly can have the "FI" piece without the "RE." Many FIRE movement adherents recommend retiring "to" a career or lifestyle you enjoy as opposed to retiring "from" a workplace you hate. Standard practices of those looking to achieve Financial Independence: Aggressive savings (30, 40, 50% of income) can allow even those with relatively modest incomes to reach a level of Financial Independence at an early age Taking advantage of Geoarbitrage - Choosing to live in a low cost of living area in order to take advantage of the disparity between income and the cost of living.  Roth IRA Individual Retirement Account to which you contribute after-tax dollars. While there are no current-year tax benefits, your contributions and earnings can grow tax-free, and you can withdraw them tax- and penalty-free after age 59½ and once the account has been open for five years.  Resources Journey to Freedom Podcast  Ways to contact/follow: Matthew Pasierbek - Instagram Contact the Host - vince@thecfoathome.com

Today's episode is a conversation with Steve Cummings of The Frugal Expat blog. Steve is an American and an adventurer who has traveled most of the U.S. and 19 other countries, and his wife Sarah is an Australian who has logged adventures in about 56 different countries. The couple have a travel blog called “Cummings and Goings” and another site, called "The Frugal Expat." I discovered Steve via his brand The Frugal Expat and saw that he was currently living in Taipai, Taiwan, and was intrigued to hear about his journey to financial freedom and how he jumped into the the expat life--something I'm very much looking forward to doing myself. Steve, The Frugal Expat has not always been frugal and he's obviously not always been an expat. So we'll hop into this conversation to find out about how his life of travel and wealth building began.

Today's episode features Eric Richard from Nomad on FIRE. Eric worked his way into a lucrative corporate job in supply chain management, but with that came long hours and a terrible commute. He admits that frugality didn't come naturally to him but he saw how work was destroying his happiness and health so he took the plunge towards Financial Independence. After saving over $500k, Eric had reached Lean FIRE and took off to travel the world. He'd eventually end up back in the corporate world but this time in a great work culture that is 70% remote. He used his freedom to find the job that fit his life and is set up to be fully retired in no time. Financial independence isn't only about quitting your job, it's also about the freedom to find the right job for you. Now it is time to sit back, take a listen, and get inspired.

Die Karten wurden neu gemischt, und wir haben viele Möglichkeiten, die wir nutzen können. Jetzt brauchst Du einen klaren Plan.

Wir werden jede Anfrage beantworten. Jede Podcastfolge, jeder Post dient nur dazu, Dich als Unternehmer weiterzuentwickeln. Selbstverständlich nehmen wir uns die Zeit für Dich. Daher schreib uns einfach kurz, wo es hakt und vielleicht haben wir eine einfache Lösung für Dich parat. Hallo und schön, dass Du wieder dabei bist heute möchte ich eine These diskutieren und eine Frage aufwerfen, denn mich interessiert Deine Meinung dazu schreib uns gerne auch über einen Kanal Deiner Wahl, wie Du das siehst die direkte Konkurrenz sind Virtuelle Assistenten das sind Personen, die rein digital von irgendwo aus für Dich arbeiten sie bekommen eine Aufgabe, die sie eigenständig lösen können und Du bekommst das fertige Ergebnis zurück es ist dabei völlig egal, wo oder in welchem Land der Virtuelle Assistent arbeitet Homeoffice macht jetzt jeder 2020 haben alle es das erste Mal verstanden und mussten zwangsweise umsetzen, was Homeoffice bedeutet meine Erfahrung zeigt, die Leute sind überrascht, wie gut es funktioniert und wie gut die Qualität der Arbeit doch ist die Frage ist, ob das nicht ein komplettes Arbeitsmodell für die Zukunft sein könnte wir haben vor 4 Jahren entschieden, dass alle im Team im Homeoffice arbeiten, ihre Zeit frei einteilen können und dort wohnen können, wo sie wollen der Vorteil: maximale Flexibilität und Einteilung und fehlende Überwachung, denn die Leute haften mit ihrem Ergebnis und nicht mit der Zeit, die sie verbraucht haben meiner Erfahrung nach kannst Du im Internet für alles jemanden finden und je kleinteiliger es ist, desto besser funktioniert es (es funktioniert schlechter, eine eine Person vieles auf einmal für Dich machen soll) ich habe den Virtuellen Assistenten den “Spezialisten für gewisse Stunden” getauft damit ist gemeint, dass das Profis sind, die extrem gut in ihrer Sache sind sie sind zwar etwas teurer, aber Du brauchst sie nur für ein Projekt und eine gewisse Zeit zu engagieren überlege, wie effektiv sind die Arbeitnehmer in der Zeit, in der sie Dir zur Verfügung stehen wie gut ist die Qualität, wie hoch ist die Auslastung und wie gut ist das Ergebnis der Weiterentwicklung gegenüber jemandem, der einen Stundensatz von 100 Euro hat? diese Person kann in einem Bruchteil der Zeit für ein besseres Ergebnis sorgen überlege, was sich für Dich mehr auszahlt und was für Dein Unternehmen besser funktioniert denke international virtuelle Assistenten im Grafikbereich gibt es beispielsweise auch in Indien, wo die Löhne günstiger sind man nennt es Geoarbitrage ist man bereit, diese Effekte für sich zu nutzen? Du musst damit klarkommen wir haben beispielsweise ein Team, das 60 Leute umfasst, aber nicht jeden brauche ich jeden Tag 8 Stunden neben mir - im Gegenteil wenn Du das jetzt hörst, stellt sich die Frage, ob es überhaupt noch zeitgemäß ist, jemanden zu haben, der klassisch bei Dir angestellt ist Beispiel Fahrradladen: wie sollen hier Virtuelle Assistenten arbeiten? Die Verwaltung kannst Du gut auslagern zweiter Punkt: Du nimmst Dir Selbstständige, die auf Rechnung bei Dir sind, nicht 8 Stunden, aber die als Spezialist regelmäßig bei Dir vorbeischauen welche Vorteile hätte das für Dich? -> Diesen Punkt möchte ich besonders verdeutlichen! Die Arbeit mit Virtuellen Assistenten zwingt Dich dazu, saubere Prozesse zu haben und klare Arbeitsbeschreibungen. Nur, wenn ein Prozess einfach und nachvollziehbar ist, kann ein VA auch schnell seine Power entfalten. Mach es Dir und Deinen Mitarbeitern einfach, dann kannst Du auch extrem wachsen. Weiter im Text: probiere es aus schaffe auch mehr Freiheit für Dein bestehendes Team Zusammenfassung der 3 wichtigsten Dinge: 1. Einfach gewinnt. 2. Testen bringt Geschwindigkeit. 3. Entwickle Dein Team weiter. die Shownotes zu dieser Folge findest Du unter raykhahne.de/477 alle Links habe ich Dir dort aufbereitet und Du kannst die Inhalte der Folge noch einmal nachlesen Wenn Du als Unternehmer endlich weniger arbeiten möchtest, dann gehe auf unternehmerfreiheit.online, einem ausgewählten Kreis werde ich bald zeigen, wie es möglich ist, mit mehreren Unternehmen gleichzeitig weniger als 30 Stunden die Woche zu arbeiten. unternehmerfreiheit.online 3 Sachen zum Ende Abonniere den Podcast unter raykhahne.de/podcast Wenn Du noch mehr erfahren möchtest, besuche mich auf Facebook und Instagram Bitte bewerte meinen Podcast bei iTunes Danke, dass Du die Zeit mit mir verbracht hast.

Hear how he's reaching FI while traveling and having three weddings! (spoiler alert, only one bride) Listen, learn, and let us know what you think about this awesome episode! Episode Summary Bob's Background Bob’s family grew up in Taiwan with a farming background Money was never taboo and stuck with him Frugality was a big point of emphasis His dad retired in his early 40s Bob had a cousin who retired at 42 And then another cousin who hit FI and kept working Bob talks about the influence that had on him Geo-arbitrage Geoarbitrage is the act of moving somewhere to lower your cost of living Think San Francisco resident moving to Montana This can be within your own country or abroad It’s important to consider your earnings also dropping This typically works best if you’re not working or working remotely Some jobs like doctors actually get paid more in small cities With the pandemic, this is possible for many more workers who’ve gone remote Exchange rates can also be your friend Living 181+ days in another country can also help you avoid U.S. income taxes Citizenship is obviously a big hurdle in certain countries Some countries give residency based on wealth or homeownership Geo-arbitrage can save you 50% or more Slow Travel Often we look at travel as short spurts (1 – 2 weeks at a time) This leads to trying to pack in as much as possible You end up so tired, you need a vacation when you get back Slow travel is the idea of spreading that over 3-6months This allows you to spread out costs of flights It also lets you book apartments vs hotel rooms Bob goes over how much more enjoyable it is and affordable He also talks about the benefits of having a home base when traveling Three weddings under $7000 Bob got married three times…. Remember that his wife was from Denmark This meant they both had families abroad His first wedding was mostly his family Bob’s wife made the cake and her dress! Of course, they used a coupon after the wedding to eat A month later they had a wedding with friends and her family They hired a friend who would go on to go to culinary school And their photographer was just starting out His wife actually altered her own wedding dress for the second wedding A year later they decided to do a wedding actually in Denmark This time it was at a small-town school and his picture did photographs Bob even took some of the photos Rounding out the Episode Bob talks about how he could retire now if he wanted He's happy with his job currently Their home is also very valuable in the crazy Vancouver market But life is good and his kids have a friend group Key Takeaways Slow down: Bob breaks down the power of slow travel which this show is a big fan of You have options: Don't think that just because you live or were born in a certain area that you have to stay there. Call to Action Look at your next planned vacation or one you've done in the past, compare those numbers with the slow travel version of it.

I'm so pumped about this episode. I proposed the idea to my lovely wife Kayla to be my new permanent co-host on the FIRE the Family Podcast. She has so graciously agreed and now we're forging a new podcast path together! She has a voice fit for radio by the way! I have so many ideas on where this could go and I want to thank you for sticking with the podcast through a few recent weeks without content. I assure you, we have every intention of creating as much audio content as possible.  We're in the middle of arbitraging from Washington to Texas. That means, selling our home, buying a new home, packing and working and raising the kids and visiting family. We've been so busy that the podcast went onto the back burner for a short time.  In this episode, we talk about moving, selling our house, buying our new house, what we're most excited about and what is difficult about moving away.

If you've ever thought about escaping to live in paradise, you need to listen to this episode. Tim Ferriss calls it geoarbitrage, living in a place expenses are low, but making your wages where payment is high. If you've never heard the term, this episode could change everything for you. It was a life-changing concept for me.

Have you ever dreamt of pursuing a digital nomad lifestyle? Eric started his digital nomad journey by joining a work travel program called Remote Year after saving up enough of a cash buffer.

Although a little on the pricier side, Eric argues this is a great way to try the digital nomad life along with a community. He gets to meet a lot of interesting people from diverse backgrounds and several different skills, all while travelling and working on his side hustles. 2 - Geoarbitrage as a strategy Eric is using geoarbitrage to make his money last longer - by earning in a strong currency and spending in a weaker currency in cheaper locations. Him and his girlfriend get to save more money and travel more. He also uses travel rewards, and recently started a blog to document his journey and make some extra money. 3 - How Eric saved up $30k to travel abroad Eric was working a high paying job but lacked work life balance. He was always a decent saver and made sure to max out his tax advantaged accounts and avoid lifestyle inflation. He treated his saving as a game, and made it a challenge at the end of every month to find ways to cut back and save more. The most important: finding what your why is. That's his plan for the year ahead. Questions? Like or dislike? Leave us a comment! Want to support the podcast? Here are three things you can do. 1.

In today's episode, Cody and Justin bring you a truly optimistic outlook on getting fired. Rob from Getting Canned walks us through his story of losing his job at one of the worst times in history, in 2008 during The Great Recession. Rob's struggles lead to finding an amazing income source and international travel opportunity all in one. Rob moves to Taiwan where he would teach English for three years and make some fantastic memories while the economy recovered. Tune in this week to see yet another showcase at how financial independence is possible for all. Episode Summary Recently lost his job after working there 4 years He was placed on a performance improvement plan prior to getting fired Started a blog to be a resource for people who had lost their job Created a checklist of all the things to do when you find out you may be getting fired He talks about filing for unemployment and rolling over your 401k as really important parts of the checklist Had gotten fired in 2008 and went unemployed for 2 years Decided to go to Taiwan to teach English It was an amazing experience for him and feels that it's a great option for “Barista Fire” He was paid $20/hr working 20 hours per week His first job actually came with free room and board He stayed in Taiwan for 3 years with one 6 month break in between 2008-2010, during his unemployment, he met a lot of frustrations with applying for jobs He talks about how unemployment can prepare you for your FI lifestyle He got in the best shape of his life during that period Rob got the idea of moving to Asia to teach came from meeting someone randomly who had done it. He considered Japan, China, and Taiwan He did a Skype interview where he had to do a practice teaching session The main requirements were to speak with an American accent and a college degree He got a tourism VISA for 60 days that the employer then helped them change it to a work VISA which was good for a year His first apartment was a studio in new and in a nice neighborhood for under $400/mo He used their great public transportation system The medical care was what he found to be the biggest savings At one point he to go to the emergency room to get stitches with anesthesia was $30 He mentions the odd type of side jobs that are possible in those unique situations One was being approached to be an actor in a short because he stood out so much in Taiwan The primary language there is Chinese He learned a little bit just to “survive” He talks about how knowing English opens you up so much for travel One certification he recommended was TEFL which helps with getting some of these jobs He also recommends Upwork and Fiverr, and Wyzant as good resources for gig economy especially in times of unemployment Rob also implores people to diversify their income streams and go through the thought process of what it would be like if you lost your job tomorrow Key Takeaways Resourcefulness is a superpower: We see this all the time. Whether it's keeping grocery bills low, finding free furniture, or finding work. Resourcefulness and flexibility are these amazing superpowers that make financial independence almost unstoppable. It is ok to ask for help: I thought it was really humbling to hear Rob talk about taking unemployment. It can feel like you have failed but everyone has moments that they need help and it's likely you paid your fair share into programs like unemployment anyways. The world isn't so scary: This is the biggest takeaway for sure. The world can seem massive and scary but if you can read this, then you probably know English and as English speakers, we often take for granted just how accessible this world is to us. Rob barely learned any of the language and still survived just fine. He worked there for several years and even made a trip to the ER. So what's stopping you from stepping out into some unfamiliar territory?...

Michael continues to work because he wants to be able to give. Geoarbitrage might not always be what we think; moving to ‘less expensive’ countries also usually involves a big lifestyle change. Considering oneself to be a steward of resources, not just an accumulator of money, puts members of the FI community in a unique position to be generous and consider their impact on world. Voicemail from Brian Feroldi from Motley Fool: stock market is down about 10%, but no need to panic, as drops in the market are normal and bound to recover in the long term.

050 | In this podcast we discuss domestic geographic arbitrage with Mr. Groovy from Freedom is Groovy.

Today, we welcome Jim Rawles, Founder and Editor of SurvivalBlog.com back on the show to discuss improving your lifestyle and personal resilience by moving. We talk about optimizing your lifestyle within the United States by carefully selecting your location as well as the pros and cons of international expatriation. Topics include: Ideas for playing the "State Line Jumping Game" (living in a no-income-tax state and shopping next door in no-sales-tax state). Brief mention of the "Five Flags Theory." In essence, the idea is that you can arrange your affairs over five different countries: Flag 1: Business Base-These are places where you make your money. They must be different from your personal fiscal domicile, the place where you legally reside. Flag 2: Passport & Citizenship-These should be from a country unconcerned about offshore citizens and what they do outside its borders. Flag 3: Domicile-This should be a tax haven with good communications. A place where wealthy, productive people can be creative, live, relax, prosper and enjoy themselves. Such a place should not be threatened by war or revolution and preferably should enjoy good levels of banking secrecy. Flag 4: Asset Repository-This should be a place from which assets, securities and business affairs can be managed anonymously by proxy. Flag 5: Playgrounds-These are places where you would actually physically spend your time.
