Real Estate Bubble: What is the Fuss?
There
is quite a bit of commentary recently regarding what some would say are
very inflated prices for real estate in both the US and Europe.

Globalization,
Schizophrenia, and Other Things No One Told You About: .The
numbers are in and they do not look promising. In fact, from
where we see it, the US is Broke, Bankrupt, Kaput - in other words,
they are out of dough. The question is: Who is going to
pay and suffer going forward? The other question is, if you think
it will be you - what do you want to do about it?.

About Crime in Other Countries:
Many people have said
they would like to live in another country due to the lower cost of
living, lower taxes, etc. - However, are
concerned about rumors they have heard regarding crime. In
terms of places like Belize, Argentina, The Dominican Republic,
and a host of other places - We decided to do so fact finding and what
we found out is downright unbelievable (but true) regarding the crime
statistics in these places and elsewhere.

The
Sovereign Individual & The Welfare State:

We
have all heard the term New World Order, but what does it mean
really? It is some crazy conspiracy theory or is it perhaps a

provide some answers. Click

The
Dominican Republic
To
The Rescue:
.
.
American and European middle class
citizens are currently struggling with higher costs of living, higher
taxes and inflation, but the Dominican
Republic has in essence come to the rescue.
...
The
Dominican Republic Congress has recently passed some new legislation in
June 2007 that
basically allows retirees or investors to benefit from 100 percent
Tax-Free Pension or Investment income, and you do not need to wait
until you are past the age of 50 to qualify either. At a time
when many people ask the questions: Is there a Better Place To Live?
The honest
answer is YES - If living on a Caribbean Island with possibly ZERO
annual property taxes, ZERO income taxes, affordable and modern health
care plus affordable and excellent universities to educate your
children is appealing to you.

What does Offshore Really Mean? If
you are like most people, you probably think it involves something
illegal or perhaps an idea only suitable for the super wealthy.
However, the fact is that offshore really means anything away or
outside of your own home country. But, the most common reference
that many people think of involves the so-called tax haven countries,
but the truth is, anywhere really can be a tax haven or a beneficial
place for you to live or invest. Did you know that in many
countries, bank account interest in tax-free
for local citizens and foreigners
alike?

An
Offshore Company or Foundation for
Asset Protection, plus Tax benefits:
For the past few
years, the news has been filled with stories about companies moving
manufacturering and jobs overseas. But, that is only part of the
story. Many domestic companies in the US and Europe have set up
companies in other more favorable, lower tax jurisdictions a long time
ago - and the current tax code often encourages it. So, if
they can do it, why not you? The truth is you can, and as small
businessman or average middle class investor - you probably
should. Find out why setting up a company abroad or private
foundation is not only for the large corporations or ultra-wealthy, and
the cost quite affordable as well. CLICK

THE GREAT EXODUS:
Why
are so many
Americans leaving the US?
A gentleman by the name of
Roger Gallo wrote a book over ten years ago titled, Escape
From America
- Why
Americas Best and Brightest are Leaving. Why are they
escaping and where are they going? Is this the case of just of
few seemingly crazy people - or a major trend borne out of frustration
and necessity? What does this group of people really know - that
you do not? The facts, figures and issues may surprise you - plus
the many success stories of these new pioneers or expatriates may
surprise you as well.

A Second Passport or Second Citizenship:
WHY YOU
NEED
ONE NOW, AND FAST . . . . .
.
What
is Dual Citizenship and it is legal? What is the difference
between residency and citizenship? Why would someone want another
passport or citizenship? Will you loose your current citizenship
if you obtain another? We put together some information for you
in order
to answer these and many other related questions. The truth of
the matter is, it is not a question of should you - but rather why you
might need
dual citizenship
going forward. In a world of so-called globalization, maybe
individual citizens need to be global also.

Offshore Banking, Gold, Money, Inflation
and
Other Related Topics:
Money,
money, money - the favorite topic of many. Part of the problem is
not always how to make it, but rather - how to keep it.
Government always seem to want their share through higher and higher
taxes, and then of course we have the other thief known as devaluation
(inflation). How well prepared are you to protect yourself, and
what really is the State of The Union? Are things getting better
economically - or worse? Do you think taxes will be going up - or
down? Do you think you are currently prepared to weather any
storm
that might come calling in the future? We put together some
information for you to ponder, as well as an action plan to put into
place as well.

Retire
Early ?
Can you really afford to retire
early? Can you afford not to? Many people like yourself
have done it.
|

|
Too
many people like yourself are worried about the ability to retire at
any age, never mind early. The prospect of many state run pension
programs (social security) is that there is doubt about what the future
holds. You have to take care of yourself, and the good
news is that you can. But it may mean thinking about living
elsewhere
that allows you to do so with the savings or assets you already have.

Is
gold making a new comback?
|

|
They
say gold is the only true money. Better said, unlike fiat paper
money, the only true form of currency value that the politcians cannot
screw around with. Is something old, such as gold, new
again? Are the people that advocate gold instead of paper
currency off the wall, or right on target ? Well, if you study
history, we find out that problems with inflation of paper money is
nothing new. In fact, history is probably one of the best
economics teachers around - if you take heed.

A long time ago there was a popular
series called the Little Rascals or Our Gang. Well,
today we have some new rascals, and unfortunately, they are not
interested in racing Go-Karts or having fun. Instead, they
have an agenda that is, shall we say, a bit more serious and dark in
nature. Regardless, they are out there, and are still
misbehaving. Where is Miss Crabtree when you need her ?

The Little Country With Lots to Offer
Panama

Americans and Canadians relocating to Panama? The answer involves
a number of reasons: more attractively priced real estate in

enthusiants can ski in Argentina and Chile during the months of June
through August).

Using
an Offshore
Company for Your Small or Not so Small Business:
What
is an offshore company and why do some people decide to set one
up? The answer is for a variety of reasons. For one thing,
especially if you have an on-line or mail order business, you will find
that by simply redomiciling your business to another jurisdiction, you
could possibily eliminate a corproate income tax liability. But
aside from that, protection from frivolous lawsuits as well. . . .

Domincan
Republic: Still One of the Best Kept Secret Bargains in
the Caribbean For
Real Estate and Retirement . . . . .
.
Christopher
Columbus discovered the Dominican Republic and he liked the
place so much that he decided to stay. Incredibly enough what was
true 500 years ago is still true today. Many Americans, Canadians
and Europeans have found that the country still offers some of the best
real estate prices in the entire Caribbean, and in addition, can be an
excellent destination to consider for relocation or retirement as
well. Aside from that, high speed internet access, modern
shopping malls, cable television in English, and direct flights to both
North America and Europe also add to the attraction. So, what are
you waiting for? Discover the Dominican Republic for yourself. .
