I do this. I actually live in a large, ocean view condo in Panama City. I rent half of it on AirBnB which covers all my fixed expenses other than my mortgage. I work remotely for a Swiss company and I legally pay no taxes. I don't have a degree, and I've only been working since I was 26. I'll be worth half a million before I'm 33, partly because my condo has risen in value. I married a beautiful local girl who probably wouldn't have given me the time of day in my native Canada. Here I'm taller, handsomer, and richer without having changed at all, just because the local men lower the bar for competition. The city is full of things to do, and it's more modern and interesting in some ways than many Canadian cities. Good beaches are 1-2 hours by car, so sadly I don't code on the beach (when I go, coding is the furthest thing from my mind.)
- getsat 12y agoYou make less than the FOIC cutoff, I assume? If not, how are you legally not paying US income taxes on foreign-earned income?
- eloff 12y agoI'm Canadian, Canada is less possessive of its citizens than the US, if you don't have residency in Canada (not the same as just not living there anymore.)
- anonbanker 12y agois there a way to contact you? I'm attempting to assist a canadian expat, and am looking for resources.
- ZeroFries 12y agoAlso interested in more details. Maybe a Q&A? Could be valuable to others.
