You can house sit for people all over the world, you pay for your transportation and the housing is free. 4. Find work exchange programs where they pay your room and board and you do some sort of work. Do your research on moving abroad on a budget. 5.

@danielgouge4639

Renouncing or losing your citizenship both happen under very limited circumstances. Both mean that you: No longer have rights and responsibilities as a U.S. citizen. Must become a citizen of another nation or risk becoming "stateless"

One thing I have wondered about leaving the US is how they deal with citizenship relinquishment (as opposed to renunciation). If, for example, you left the US and became a citizen of Russia and signed up for military service, I’d imagine that would probably be considered a deliberate act of relinquishment. How does “relinquishment” differ from renunciation in terms of the exit tax? Or the fee associated with renouncing it? (Not thinking anyone would want to go to that extreme just to lose your citizenship, but it does have me curious given they differentiate between the two)

@ketchyshubby

Жыл бұрын

I don't think the US government recognizes relinquishing because you haven't gone through the process of renunciation (and gotten the certificate of loss of nationality). Marc Rich for example (though his case was unique obviously), decided to relinquish his US citizenship by publicly becoming a Spanish citizen (which at the time or maybe even now didn't allow Spanish citizens to hold another passport). But since he never actually went through the renunciation process the US said "nah, you still one of us" and went after him for tax evasion.

Andrew, obviously, is very knowledgeable on nomad capitalism. Would just like to hear more about success stories from folks who have left their country, directly from the horse's mouth, that is, the people who have left their motherland. I know many people would want to protect their privacy and not talk about their experiences, but there must be a way to show, not just using statistics, how likely it would be to succeed leaving one’s native land. This is a glaring weakness in what might otherwise be a pretty appealing idea. To play the “devil's advocate,” if it were such a good idea to leave, why aren't more folks leaving? Maybe lots of them are, but we just don't know about them. Simply put, what are the risks? We all know that businesses fail all the time. If you ran into legal problems with your business, dealing with the legal system overseas, likely in a foreign language, could end up being “a bridge too far,” to put it mildly. Would your company be more or less likely to fail in a new country? There seems to be many, many ifs, ands, and buts, leaving some of us with the impression that making a move has too many moving parts. Then there’s always the notion that if you have to ask how expensive a luxury car is, then this means you really can’t afford it. So, it seems like nomad capitalism is primarily for folks who like taking big risks and aren’t particularly bothered by the possibility of losing everything, or almost everything, or just losing a lot.
