In Friday's mid-afternoon webcast, Jerz joined us live from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over 45 minutes of conversation, Jerz and James discussed:
- How he met his beautiful wife Gaby online, via X/Twitter
- LatAm as an attractive safe haven from global conflicts and increasingly confiscatory taxation pushed by globalist politicians
- The distinction between obtaining residency in Paraguay and securing a Paraguayan tax residency that satisfies the taxing authorities of the country you've left, including the need to shut down operational LLCs and bank accounts in the country you're leaving for tax reasons
- Places like Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela where many middle aged gringo men settle in spite of these countries' governance issues, because they're looking for a life partner
- Milei's reforms in Argentina and the hammer and anvil of Argentinian monetary policy
- Why is Italy tightening up citizenship by descent requirements when the Italian economy and Italy's declining demographics badly need more high net worth families with children
- EU countries discussing taxation of 'unrealized capital gains' and Spain's proposed 100% tax on non-EU resident purchased real estate
- Paraguay, the UAE, and other countries that welcome foreign capital outperforming countries that pursue excessive tax and money printing policies
- The growing number of Germans seeking Plan B options in LatAm due to Berlin's excessive spending, pro-censorship policies and a renewed military draft of their sons
