Tom welcomes back Nick Giambruno, founder of The Financial Underground and editor-in-chief of its premium investment research publication. Nick criticizes central planning and the Fed's role in managing inflation, arguing that central banks, cannot effectively manage interest rates due to their antithesis to free markets. Giambruno deemed the steepest rate-hiking cycle by the Fed to combat decades-high inflation futile because raising rates to a level impacting inflation would bankrupt the US government. He considers claims of victory over inflation propaganda, as essential prices like electricity bills and food hadn't reached pre-pandemic levels. Nick touches on the potential politicization of Federal Reserve monetary policy ahead of elections and the influence of politics on its actions. The discussion covers escalating debt and interest expenses, now the largest federal budget item, trapping the United States in a cycle of currency debasement. Giambruno advises investing in hard assets like gold and precious metals as a long-term savings vehicle, and suggests considering gold mining stocks to speculate on fiat currency debasement. He favors royalty companies over individual mining stocks due to reduced risk. The potential impact of the BRICS creating their own trading currency on the US dollar and the changing global order was discussed, suggesting a developing multipolar world where other countries take larger roles. Giambruno believs we are in a chaotic period, likening it to historical periods of power division, and advises individuals to consider alternatives like Latin America as a potential refuge.

Tom welcomes back Nick Giambruno, founder of The Financial Underground and Editor-in-Chief of the Contra Speculator. In this eye-opening discussion, Nick Giambruno exposes the truth behind the banking system and challenges the common misconception that the money in your bank account belongs to you. Through a detailed analysis, he reveals the legal and financial realities that make you an unsecured creditor of the bank, rather than a rightful owner of your funds. Discover the shocking implications of this arrangement and how it places you at the mercy of the banking establishment. Brace yourself for a paradigm-shifting perspective on your hard-earned money. Cautioning on the potential fallout of an escalating interest expense on federal debt, Giambruno expresses worries over the Federal Reserve's continued interest rate hikes. Massive interest payments could lead to the federal government's bankruptcy. Borrowing money to service existing debt means mounting, potentially catastrophic, debt levels. He expresses skepticism over Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), viewing them as a desperate rescue attempt for the failing fiat system. In contrast, he sees Bitcoin as a formidable central bank competitor. Discussing the geopolitical scenario, Giambruno expresses concern over the increased US expulsion from the Middle East and the likelihood of escalating conflicts. This situation, he posits, could affect oil-related equities. From his base in Argentina, he observes the anticipated presidency of Javier Milei, who may refrain from dollarization to maintain sovereignty and could transition towards a free market currency system. Nevertheless, he points out that this is a challenging transformation requiring an extensive overhaul of the existing system.

Jeff Weniger, head of equity strategy at WisdomTree Asset Management, says that the "rip-roaring rally" that started in late October on account of declining interest rates, and it slowed in January but now "Boom, suddenly you're back off to the races" with the stock market at new highs and the Standard & Poor's 500 now eyeing 5000. Weniger notes that there are plenty of concerns for the rally, and he notes that a downturn could test the classic 60-40 portfolio, where he thinks investors may be disappointed with how fixed income does its job of providing portfolio protection. Talking technicals, Lawrence McMillan of McMillan Analysis says he is staying bullish, but he is on alert for changes because the current rally feels similar to January 2018 or 2020, both years that had solid starts only to turn ugly in February and March. Plus, Ronan McMahon discusses a study from International Living Magazine showing what countries people want to move to for their retirement years and what the most popular destinations have in common, and Jay Kaplan, portfolio manager of the Royce Small Cap Value fund, talks in the Market Call about being a business-valuation investor.

This week we chat to Suzan Haskins about a subject that comes up often in our mailbag, and at conferences. Understandably so. It's one thing to pack a bag for a vacation—any fool knows how to do that—but it's an altogether different prospect when you're planning on moving abroad for months, years, or decades.Read Suzan's full article in the September issue of the International Living Magazine: "I Want to Move Abroad, But What Do I Do With My Stuff?"Suzan, and her husband, Dan Prescher, are experts on the business of moving overseas. They've lived in multiple countries, and made numerous moves. Sometimes they pack light, other times they take a more elaborate approach to transporting the possessions they can't just throw into a backpack. Bear in mind that Dan's a musician—he's not going anywhere without at least a guitar. That's a logistical challenge in itself, but it's one that Suzan and he have risen to with experience and aplomb.Shipping containers, transporting animals, hold baggage, import/export agents, paperwork, import duties, and U-Haul trucks…Suzan's done it all. Over the years, she's built up a wealth of knowledge, and more importantly, an address book full of contacts. Knowing who to speak to, and who to hire makes all the difference when it comes to big decisions such as whether to bring your own car abroad with you, or if you really need to ship your old bed to your new home. But perhaps more important than any of the logistics, is Suzan's underlying question: Do you really want to bring your old life with you when you start afresh overseas…or just the parts that mean the most to you?Whether you're someone who moves abroad with nothing more than what you can carry on your back, or whether you want to go the whole hog with a shipping container, Suzan Haskins is just the person to explain it all.Join host, Jim Santos, as he meets her in the latest episode of The International Living Podcast.If you're enjoying the podcast, we would really appreciate it if you could leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform: https://lovethepodcast.com/internationalliving.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

This week, we're talking to International Living contributor, Greyson Ferguson, about his decision to expand his options and life experience with a move to Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. Like many others, the COVID pandemic and travel lockdown prompted Greyson to evaluate his life, take a look around, and make the push to live in a way he truly wanted, rather than settle for what simply fell into his lap. Greyson's first move was to renovate a 1960s camper and set out across the United States in search of adventure and enlightenment.With him came his dogs, and although they were a responsibility, the company and companionship they brought was more than enough to make up for any inconvenience. So much so, that when Greyson decided that it was time to look outside of the United States for the continuation of his adventures, he didn't hesitate to bring them along.Getting the dogs to South America was a story in itself. Stressful at times, and involving a mountain of paperwork, it didn't help that one of Greyson's dogs was an ageing pitbull. Ageing, and gentle, but nevertheless, a breed that's banned from many countries. It narrowed the options a little, but after a stint in Peru, Greyson and the dogs now find themselves in Argentina, enjoying the sophisticated, European-style life of Buenos Aires—sometimes called the "Paris of South America."With stylish cafés, vast outdoor markets, and with a huge range of international cuisine, life in Buenos Aires is as sophisticated as any European city. Using a currency-conversion hack known as the ‘blue dollar' though, makes it much, much more affordable. Living large on $1,000 a month? It's easy when you have blue dollars. In this episode, Greyson explains all.Join host, Jim Santos, as he meets Greyson Ferguson in the latest episode of Bigger Better World.Read Greyson's full article in the March issue of the International Living Magazine: "Blue Dollar" Delivers Bargain Lifestyle in Buenos Aires.

This week, the Bigger, Better World podcast takes a trip to Europe, talking to International Living contributor Sharyn Nilsen about her recent adventure traversing the continent, from London to Berlin, by bicycle.Sharyn and her husband, Tim, are no beginners when it comes to bike touring. With long-distance trips across Africa, North America, and Australia already on their resume, it was only a matter of time before the varied geography and cultures of Europe called.Full-time travelers, Sharyn and Tim split their time between exploration missions and the more settled and domestic activity of house- and pet-sitting. Bookending their bike journey across Europe with home stays in the UK, the northern hemisphere summer gave them ample time to see the sights,"Perhaps we were lucky, but we had only one rainy day. The summer weather was mostly warm and sunny without being too hot, with cool nights for a restful night's sleep in our tent…. We rolled past rustic-looking windmills, grand old churches with functioning bell towers, and age-old castles in various stages of decay through dappled ancient forests and acres of wheat, barley, and cornfields."Independent, self-sufficient, and not bound to any strict timetable, Sharyn and Tim's adventure allowed them to indulge themselves as they liked. With plenty of breaks, no high-mileage rides, and always a cold beer at their destination, there was no need to race through the journey. "We're not hardcore cyclists," Sharyn states. There's so much to see and do on the stretch between the Netherlands and Germany that it would be a shame to rush it all. On the other hand, there's no difficulty in taking the bikes on a train to cover some distance either. That's all part of the appeal, when there's no set plan and no clocks to punch.Join host, Jim Santos, as he meets Sharyn Nilsen in the latest episode of Bigger, Better World.Read Sharyn's full article in the December issue of the International Living Magazine.

Tom welcomes back Nick Giambruno, founder of The Financial Underground and Editor-in-Chief of the Contra Speculator. Nick notes that the current U.S. world order is breaking down, and the future remains uncertain. He compares governments to crime families and points out that bonds are just an extension of the fiat system. He goes on to emphasize that money is a technology used to send value across time and space, and that government involvement in the monetary system is unnecessary. He adds that only a small subset of the population understand the importance of hard money, and that politicians often don't understand money either, which leads to inflationary tendencies. Regarding the move towards CBDC's, Nick believes it is more of a desperate last move to maintain the status quo. He explains that the definition of inflation has been manipulated and that the CPI metrics are more akin to propaganda. As such, people will need to find alternative places to store their wealth; gold, Bitcoin, and real estate being potential options. Nick explains that both gold and Bitcoin have resistance to debasement, gold having a long history of 5000 years and Bitcoin having coded annual production that declines. He adds that while gold has portability, Bitcoin is superior in that regard. All in all, Nick believes that both gold and Bitcoin will compete with each other on their monetary attributes in the long-term.

Keith Hockton brings us a tale of mystery (and maybe foul play?) in the lush hills of upland Malaysia. But the real story isn't about who may or may not have had a hand in the disappearance of a silk magnate back in the 1950s. The real story is the unspoiled rainforests, the exotic flora and fauna, and the unexpected gentle beauty of colonial Britain's homespun R&R resorts."If you can imagine the upper crust British regime that ruled Malaya at that time," says Keith Hockton, "they couldn't really let their hair down, they couldn't really be themselves. But with the hill stations, that was an area that they could go to where they could be completely themselves…. They could actually feel like they were actually back in the United Kingdom."To this day, the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia are like a step back in time to an imaginary England—a place of perfectly mown lawns, gin and tonic on the veranda, and smouldering glances over croquet. Nowadays, though, there are fine dining, golf, and modern accommodation options to suit every traveler, along with excellent hiking, wildlife spotting, and much easier access. Learn all about this cool highland slice of Olde England deep in the heart of Southeast Asia as host, Jim Santos, speaks to Asia expert Keith Hockton for Bigger, Better World.Read his full article in the May 2023 issue of International Living Magazine.If you're enjoying the podcast, we would really appreciate it if you could leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Bekah Bottone brings us a much-appreciated update on how her adopted hometown—Tamarindo in Costa Rica—has evolved in recent years. The Pacific coast surf town first came to prominence in Bruce Brown's 1994 surf movie, The Endless Summer II. At the time, Tamarindo was little more than a village, some great waves, and an airstrip where ground crew had to shoo the cows away so that planes could land.These days, things are different. With much better logistics, development for tourism, and a steady influx of digital nomads, expat retirees, and seasonal visitors, Tamarindo has grown up. This isn't a sob story about lost rural magic and the evils of tourism. For residents like Bekah, it's a positive change. When Bekah first spent time in Tamarindo, there were no pharmacies, no medical care, and even the smallest mishap could become a major emergency. Now, with modernization, the town is a much more rewarding place to live. (Soon, they'll even have their first traffic light!)A truly integrated Costa Rica expat (she gave birth to twins in the country, and has a wealth of experience of real-life challenges and rewards in the central American paradise), Bekah knows the highs and lows, and how to turn it all into a more fulfilling, happier, healthier life. Tune in as she shares her story with Jim Santos in this week's episode of Bigger Better World.  Read her full article in the May 2023 issue of International Living Magazine.If you're enjoying the podcast, we would really appreciate it if you could leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Karen Lefebvre followed her childhood dream and moved to the idyllic island of Syros, Greece.  A chance discovery way back in the 1980s led her parents to an unexpected family stay on the island. Now, prompted by a pandemic, a breakup, wanderlust, and an urge to return to the simple Mediterranean life she experienced as a teen, Karen finds herself harvesting olives, pressing oil, and happily renovating a new home on the very same island that stole her heart all those decades ago.“I wake up and I do some exercises on the balcony, get my sunshine, my morning sunshine, and then I do some yoga, have my breakfast, and then I will go into town and gather whatever I need or pay whatever bills I need to…. Then I'll head down for a swim at about anywhere between 2 p.m. to 4 .pm. And I'll spend an hour or so down there swimming and chatting with my friends, come back up, have something to eat, and then in the evening, I'll get back to doing some work or go to some kind of performance, meet some friends, have some friends over. Yeah, that's a pretty typical day for me.”Karen's life on Syros is a long way removed from the typical stressful worker's life she had back in Austin, Texas. But as the saying goes, ‘Leap, and a net shall appear'.

Podcast host, Jim Santos, meets expat Glenda Cole, who quit the stress of a high-powered career in corporate America for a new home, new country, and new life in International Living's top-rated retirement destination—Portugal. Glenda describes herself as a typical type-A personality, but her drive to succeed almost killed her. A serious health scare brought it all home to her—she was living to work, not working to live. Having a job that was so pressing that she couldn't even get a bathroom break, spending her life accumulating money and possessions that she had no time to enjoy…it all took its toll.When the doctor told her she had to change her life, Glenda grabbed hold of that idea. With the same meticulous approach that made her such a success at work, she started researching retirement destinations overseas. Spreadsheets, schedules, itineraries…it was all very business-like. But no matter how organized you are, sometimes the heart overrules the head. When she got to Portugal, Glenda's five-year plan fell apart. Instead, she decided to let her emotions win out, and followed her gut. Now, more fulfilled than ever, Portugal has proven to be exactly what she needed. Glenda shares her true success story with Jim Santos in this week's episode of Bigger Better World.  Read her full article in the May 2023 issue of International Living Magazine.

Back in the early days of the Spanish conquest of Latin America, a problem arose. How would Catholic priests, tasked with converting the locals to Christianity, celebrate mass without the necessary wine for the service?The short-term answer was to ship wine over from Spain, but that was hardly practical. The long-term solution (although it wasn't popular with Spanish wine exporters!) was to plant vineyards in the newly-discovered lands.Where did they plant these vineyards? Believe it or not, on the high ground of Mexico, grapevines flourished, and a wine industry which now spans centuries, was created.Over the years, those Mexican winemakers have learned a trick or two, and it shouldn't be a surprise to learn that wineries around the colonial highland city of San Miguel de Allende have become so good at it, that their wines are winning the sort of awards more usually gathered by growers in France, Italy, California or Spain.International Living contributor Ann Kuffner lives in San Miguel de Allende. (For some years, she was our correspondent in the small Caribbean nation of Belize). A wine lover from an early age, she's found an undiscovered trove of fine wines in the highlands around her adopted city. It goes perfectly with the cultured, sophisticated urban lifestyle of San Miguel de Allende. Podcast host, Jim Santos, learns all about a side of Mexico most tourists never see, or even imagine, as he talks to Ann Kuffner in this week's episode of Bigger Better World.Read Ann's full article in the February 2022 issue of International Living Magazine here: The Sun-Kissed Wines of San Miguel de Allende.

Read Janet's full article in the January 2023 issue of International Living Magazine here: My Three Weeks Learning Italian in Siena.“I'm too old to learn a new language!” is a phrase we hear a lot at International Living. But it's based on a misconception. Most of us believe that children have some innate language-learning ability that somehow disappears as we get older. But is that really true? Isn't it just that we get busier? Or find other things to take up our time? When you think about it, there are lots of reasons why learning a language when we're older makes sense. We know what a sentence is. We know what verbs do. We have a much better grasp of our own grammar…which makes it easier to learn it in a different language. Janet Buell didn't swallow the old line about it being difficult. Instead, she enrolled in a full-immersion Italian class in the picturesque Tuscan city of Siena.Once there, she found that it wasn't just a new language she was learning—it was a whole new way of life. A life devoted to excellent food, wine, conviviality, tradition, and beauty. Diving headfirst into Italian life, with a team of dedicated teachers who were delighted to show her the ins and outs of life in an ancient Italian city, Janet soon found that learning a language has come a long, long way from reciting verb constructions in a dusty high school classroom.Host, Jim Santos, gets the inside track on the nicest way to pick up the lingo, in the latest episode of International Living's Bigger Better World podcast.…If you haven't become an International Living member yet—you can do it today with a special discount offer for podcast listeners.

Have you ever thought about relocating to Costa Rica? Our guest is International Living Magazine writer Kathleen Evans. Kathleen is a permanent resident of Costa Rica. She works and lives part time in the Tamarindo region located on the country's northwest coast. Listen as Kathleen gives us a half-dozen reasons why she and her family chose Costa Rica in the first place---among them property ownership for expats and an above average healthcare system. Oh by the way, the cost of living isn't bad either.  Imagine waking to the sounds of the Pacific Ocean. How about seeing a howler monkey or two scurrying about in the canopy above. Kathleen is more than her Costa Rica experience. Her website, katsjourney features stories on everything from finances and sex to food, wine and her other global adventures. It's Pura Vida - translation "pure life" or "simple life."

"I am a writer by passion at heart. At the core of everything I've ever done, writing has always been a part of my role. And this was the first opportunity that I had to actually make that my main function and turn it into a job. And what I learned in that experience is that tying your passion to a paycheck is not always the best mix." How do you take a product through the process from idea to execution in the midst of a global pandemic? With the help of your community! Get first-hand insights from Jackie and Donny Minchillo about how they built Pineapple Pickup in response to COVID-19's impact on their local restaurants and how the UFMB Community* supported their journey. More about Jackie & Donny: Jackie is a former corporate ladder climber with a background working for digital marketing and publicity agencies in Detroit and Chicago. In 2015 she and her husband decided to quit their corporate jobs, sell everything they owned and move to Costa Rica. Jackie spent 3 years covering Costa Rica for International Living Magazine and spent a lot of her time in Costa Rica on a journey of spiritual discovery and self-healing. During her "hiatus" in paradise, she developed the idea to expand her husband's freelance web development business into their co-founded eCommerce web development agency, Pineapple Development. Today she and her husband live in St. Petersburg, Florida where Pineapple Development has merged with local digital agency Big Sea. The Minchillo's are also the co-owners of residential and commercial cleaning company Joy of Cleaning, amongst various other business ventures. Writing has always been a passion of Jackie's and a part of everything she's ever done, and has lead to her latest endeavor, a life-long goal of publishing her first book: "Happy Pillz; 25 Tools to Overcome Overwhelm in Your Everyday Life Amidst Normalcy OR Chaos" available on Amazon.  Born in Brazil, Donny spent his teenage years in New York learning to speak English and plotting his American Dream. He studied computer arts and technology at Mercy College in New York and was always technically inclined. His interest was really sparked though when he decided to sell a faux fur coat he bought and never wore on eBay, and made money! Today Donny is an eCommerce expert with 15+ years of experience. Throughout his journey, he's touched every aspect of the industry from retail arbitrage and creating wholesale relationships as an omnichannel retailer, to being the merchant. He eventually became an E-commerce Director and then decided he wanted to "get his hands dirty" so to speak and became a Magento developer. He is the co-owner and CEO of Pineapple Development which he co-founded with his wife while they were living abroad in Costa Rica, and now he leads a team of the dev-iest developers to bring high-quality development services to merchants using the Shopify or Magento platforms or those in need of a custom web application to run their business. He is also the co-owner alongside his wife Jackie, of Joy of Cleaning in St. Petersburg, Florida, a residential and commercial cleaning company. In addition to multiple business ventures, Donny is a cryptocurrency enthusiast and early adopter. He's committed to accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment through any business that he owns ;-)  Connect with them: www.pineappledevelopment.com www.pineapplepickup.com ******* *NOTE: At the time of recording, the UFMB Community was still known as the CORE Leadership Collective.
