It probably seems like a radical idea to those who were born and lived their lives in only one country, but individuals with financial means and a little determination can, without much trouble, become international citizens. That’s done by acquiring second citizenship in another country. Along with that dual legal status comes an official second passport.

Are you ready to get back out there and start traveling again? I know I am. I also know most of us will ease back into it with some concerns...we’ll have to do more research about health considerations and protections. We’ll want to be sure that we’re as safe as possible... With that in mind, we've commissioned this special report. Written by respected long-time family physician, Dr. Shane McCarthy, it offers thoughtful and well-researched guidance to get you back out there in the safest way possible.

And it's possible to live there quite comfortably from $2,000 a month. But there is the sticky issue of how to stay past the 90 days a tourist visa allows if you want to extend your visit to four, six, nine months or longer.

Here at International Living, we think that you can find the best quality of life, the lowest cost of living, and the best-value real estate overseas. For decades we have been scouring the globe looking for the countries that offer all of those things…and more.

Last year, almost 4 million people became victims of identity theft in the U.S., more than double the figure from 2019. The amount stolen reached $43 billion. And those numbers don’t include the exponentially larger numbers of people whose personal information has been exposed due to lax security by companies holding your data…data that can be used to steal your identity. Protecting your privacy online has never been more important. That’s why the information contained in this report is so vital.

It might be hard to believe, but there are simple ways for you to bring the retirement of your dreams closer to reality—and you won’t have to work twice as hard or get lucky in some “get rich quick” scheme to do so. The common narrative today is that very few people have saved enough money to retire comfortably. People are expected to tighten their belts and live frugally or keep working into their 70s…or even 80s. But there is another option…one that doesn’t involve sacrificing the good things in life.

We all want to save taxes, make ourselves less of a target to sue-happy lawyers, and generally enjoy more freedom to live as we want to. And you’ll be happy to hear, there are some well-established ways that you can protect, preserve, and even increase your wealth right now. From offshore accounts…to getting your wealth out of the dollar…to ironclad asset protection strategies and the ABCs of offshore reporting…you’ll find it all in the following pages of this book.

The U.S. is one of just two countries in the world that taxes its citizens on worldwide income…no matter where you live. So there’s no escaping the IRS. But, if you care about keeping the wealth you’ve worked hard for… If reducing your tax burden matters to you, then this book is a valuable resource.

The nature of retirement has fundamentally changed. That idea of working as long as you can so you can stop cold turkey one day…that’s just an outdated idea. It’s an Industrial Age idea, and it doesn’t make sense anymore. Today we live in what I like to call the Age of e-Opportunity. This has thrown open the doors to all kinds of new ways of funding your life and, conveniently, made it easier than ever for you, as an individual, to take control over what your days look like.

The best deals and the biggest opportunities in real estate today are not to be found within U.S. borders. Take U.S. coastlines… Sure, America has some gorgeous beaches… and stunning seaside properties. But there's a severely limited supply, especially of Grade A, beachfront real estate… and a burgeoning demand, especially among Baby Boomers. Even if your budget isn't small, you'll have trouble finding a seaside getaway on either U.S. coast that could be called a bargain.
