Here is a fact most people in their 30s and 40s have not fully processed: the fiscal model most Western countries run on requires a growing population to function. More workers funding fewer retirees. More taxpayers covering the cost of an ageing base. When that pipeline shrinks, governments do not cut spending. They find new

Hi folks, May was a lot here. The new book launched. I spent time helping a couple of legends map out their retirement plans abroad, which is the kind of conversations that remind me why I do this. There was some dog sitting thrown in and some Venezuelan food of course. The usual beautiful chaos. Oh, and
Welcome to July Crew! This year is absolutely ripping by! Between Uni, travel, writing and the odd speaking gig, 2026 is just a bloody blur. I came across Gary Stevenson’s content online and picked up the book expecting to understand what made him one of the best traders in the world. What I got was
Hey Geo-arbitraguers, So one thing I’ve learned about myself over the last couple of years is that I suck at doing nothing. Really, I can’t sit still.

I was wandering through a bookstore here in Valencia and asked the sales assistant if they had any books in English. He said, “Yes, we have exactly one left,” and walked me straight over to
Hey folks, I saw an Instagram post recently claiming you could move to Europe by enrolling in language school. France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Portugal were all apparently options. My first thought was, surely it can’t be that easy. So I went digging through the immigration rules. Surprisingly, quite a lot of it checks out. There are
Hey folks! Quick one before we get into it. Sorry for the lack of updates. Between writing the new book, classes, assignments, and the odd Camino… I’ve been flat out. Meanwhile, the market’s been all over the shop. AI noise. Geo-political stuff. At times it’s felt like a proper bipolar rollercoaster. Which… is exactly where

Welcome to another deep dive into Geo-Arbitrage Topics that can save you thousands…or in some cases…millions. What inspired me to write this article was a member of the Retire with GEO-FIRE community. The member moved to Panama and went through the process of leaving the Australian tax net and moved permanently to Panama. But then made
