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 HERE

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.       CLICK HERE  
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.
retirement
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? 
gold
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.
