Good advice bro. We are never to old to learn about finances in today’s world.
J Im with you man, thats my type of spot. Quiet and peaceful without a lot of people. Also, thanks for giving detailed info about how you deal with your finances. You definitely get value from you and your wife's channel. Thanks and take care.
I appreciate that bro for the support of both channels.
I love this type of content. I live in Tampa where Arturo Fuente cigars started. I'm hoping one day to settle in Santo Domingo.
I appreciate it brother. I didn't know it started in Tampa. I didn't even know Tampa was the cigar capital.
I use my credit card to pay all my bills except utilities. I accumulate points on that card every month and get cash back. I also use that same card for all my spending. At the end of the month I pay it off in full. Pay no interest and I get a dividend (cash back). Its only $50 but its money I didnt have to work for. Also, all the interest I gain from my high interest savings account I take it and roll over into my 401k. My company match is 10 percent.
I did that in the States. I still do it here for certain things. But that's definitely way to earn travel points and cash back.
That part 💳
I'm in puerto plata at my place for the month. My friends think in suppose to be in sosua 247. I rather be on the porch with Germans, other Americans smoking bud and eating good food
Puerto plata is way better ...enjoy!!!
those are good stuff in investing. You should do whole life insurance, you can borrow against yourself after 2 or 3 years and use that money for anything.
I heard about that. I need to look more into it...
You should look into investing in Dividend stocks and ETF's. At little at 200k to 300k can take care of you and your family an you don't have to pay a little to no taxes with qualified dividend... A qualified dividend is an ordinary dividend reported to the IRS as a capital gain rather than income. Individuals earning over $44,625 or married couples filing jointly who earn $89,250 pay at least a 15% tax on capital gains for the 2023 tax year. The tax rate is 0% on qualified dividends if taxable income is less than $44,625 for singles and $89,250 for joint-married filers in the tax year 2023. This is just to give you an idea... Good video...
Thanks for the tip. I did mentioned I invest in ETFs. I need to look more into those dividend stocks. I checked out your page I saw where you recommended 3. Are those one you would still recommend someone to look further into as possibly adding them to their portfolio?
@@JayAbroad There's no one-size-fits-all answer to your question since it depends on your individual situation, goals, and risk tolerance. I invest in those three positions, but in my Roth IRA, I'm less aggressive since I can't access the money until I'm 59½.I am not depending on so so security. By the time I get to that age it will just be my play money. If you want to discuss further, I will be happy to jump on a call. I'll be in the Dominican Republic next month if you want to connect then.
@TheDividendPassportBro Cool, let's connect when you get to Santo Domingo next month. Here is my email iamjayabroad@gmail.com or you can message me on IG at @iamjayabroad and keep me posted when you arrive.
I invest heavy VYM with vanguard for the win
Appreciate you brother! I asked your wife about this on one of her videos, this was very informative 💯
Thanks, glad it was helpful!
That spot is smooth. AI and medical tech stocks are investments to have a look at too.
Give me some AI and medical stocks to look at...
@JayAbroad check out this Fintech stocks OG. Appreciate the game and brilliance you and your wife give.
TIGR
FTFT
Financial Tech stocks are going to have a bright future
@@JayAbroad Hey brother. It depends on your risk tolerance but filter in Robinhood and you’ll find some. K
@FlashZack I will check those out. Thanks for the recommendation
Great content as usual bro
Appreciate that🙌🏾
Dominican Republic 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 for ever 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Yo I appreciate the info. My wife tells me all the time. When I go home to DR I'm always living like I'm on vacation instead of living like a local. Then I would be able to get where I'm trying to get. I don't smoke but sometimes you want some peace and quiet.
Unless you have deep pockets, living like a tourist here you'll end up broke real fast😅😂
@@JayAbroad Yeah I've experienced that and I started taking my wife's advice.
That is great!!! I use budget tracker monthly.
Thanks!
@@JayAbroad you’re welcome
Excellent bout of you guys. You both have the correct attitude; and I really wish you both the best of everything. One thing I never understood though. When it comes to credit card. When a person move permanently overseas. How do you use your credit card without it being flagged? Vacation is one thing; but living outside the States permanently or indefinitely, how is it done?
Thanks, bro. As far as the credit cards you have to notify your bank that you are living out of the country and you will no issues.
@@JayAbroad thank you so much👍👍👍
@@Dee-pj7hhyou can set a travel notice online with most credit cards as well. Some require it, some don't. I have 2 Chase cards that don't, Navy Federal requires one and so does AMEX.
I live in the Philippines and in my experience, some banks frown on expats living outside the US and will shut you down. Example, I have Charles Schwab which I set a travel notice with and I haven't had issues using their ATM card, but if I tell them I'm living here they will shut me down.
It could be because I'm in the Phils so DR may be different. Just check with your banks so you don't get caught out there with no way to retrieve your money.
Keep dropping jewels
Yessiiirr 💪🏾 💪🏾
Good info bro. Also, you have me interested in visiting Santo Domingo since i started watching your videos. I've never had an interest in SD but now I'm definitely interested after seeing a lot of the places you go to.
You should come check it out for yourself.
@JayAbroad Yes sir. I’m looking into it .
Please make sure you store your bitcoin in a ledger or cold wallet to avoid it being stolen. I also invest in stocks and index funds. Im here to help if you have any questions.. My type of vibe where you can be calm, cool and collective.
Yes please
Great topic Jay as usual .Thanks.
Very welcome
Keep doing the damn thing J!!! 💪🏾💯
👌🏾
Excellent info Jay! 😊
Thanks!🙌🏾
Always on point. 👍👍👍👍💯
Appreciate that
Bro I'm sitting here and this video came in at the right time. Going into the taxes you pay is big and informative... I'm 1099 also and i have big brother coming in every three months to rob me for their loot.. I have investments and some crypto ..I use Discover Bank for savings, interest rate one of the highest and I also have Schwab for a Roth IRA and banking, Schwab Banking refunds your ATM fees each month which is great if your getting money abroad. That's a cool spot you're at...Great video and information...
Glad this was helpful. I may have to look into Schwab for banking. I use PNC and they reimburse me for my ATM withdrawals. What is Discover's interest rate. American Express is 4.25%
@@JayAbroad You got me Beat I just checked and it's @ 4.16% right now ..
jobs in DR suck no matter what, you must bring a hustle or retire there with alot of money, my family retired bodegero and now living large there......
Excellent info, thanks Jay! Go Celtics!!!
You bet!
Great financial advice!
👌🏾
Let's go Jay💪🏿

Good afternoon. Larry the Lawyer holding it down in New York. Man, I saw the video of you telling me how to swim. Not sure what you were told - I can swim! Keep up the good work. And, please keep investing in Bitcoin. Especially for your daughter. It will keep you afloat!! 😊
Larry, they told us we almost lost you. We can loose Larry he the connect😅
Good job kid.
Have a pension coming next year. But I need a side hustle.
If you coming to retire in DR you can find a side hustle for sure.
@@JayAbroad
Having place build in vista Cana.
Hope it don by January.
@nelsonfmartinez9153 you good then. Vista Cana is nice.
Hi J
I’m following you also your wife long time before you cuz that way she talking about food , now I’m following you and my question to you ( no need to be details about) what are you source of income beside UA-cam?? . Good advised for the rest of people who are watching. Always me respect to you and family . Good bless!!!
We have already made a video about this on this channel. I recommend watching this video, it explains how we make money.
Great life bro.
I just try to stay in my lane, mind my business, and bother no one, homie
Abroad! salut. what a best - ciao.
Thanks🙏
I'm moving soon. I hope you can point me in the right direction. I look up rentals in Santo Domingo but it can be misleading and very expensive.
I have a place in playa nueva romana 40 minutes from Santo Domingo. Is 3 minutes from beach. You can Goggle it is called Miraidy ‘sVilla check it out. Is negotiable.
What websites are you looking at?
Hey jay please look into CD instead of a saving account . The interest rate on CDs are 4.95 and 5.2 pending on the bank and the terms are 6 months to one year. But a savings account only pays .095
High Yield Savings accounts are very different from a Traditional Savings account. My High Yield Savings Accounts gives me 5.05% APY. I'm very aware that Traditional Savings accounts are worthless to have your money in. But I think CDs are a good investment too.
@@JayAbroad I just got me a CD with redstone credit union, interest rate is 5% for 6 months, you know I live in boring Huntsville lol
RFCU has good rates on CDs. You need to get out of boring Huntsville. How did you get stuck there all these years...
I met my husband here and all his family live here also, so we decided to chill, when the kids get older we will definitely move somewhere, and Huntsville ain’t boring no more, it’s getting over populated in my opinion, Sanica and Camille still live here also
@@nevonthedaily Enjoy it....🤗
Look at energy mutual funds that pay you every 3 months
I'll definitely check them out...thanks for the recommendation
Hi there
👍🏽
Just reading coments 😊😅

Just came up on your channel like ask you a question do u get pay from UA-cam is that how your survive or do do some type of on line work I know have kid's and a wife to take care is not cheap no matter where you at so am just caurioes ok I love your channel I do share and like
Yes I get paid from UA-cam but that is not solely how we earn money. I recommend watching this video we made about how we make money ua-cam.com/video/TyZ1x9PtTVQ/v-deo.html
Klok ⁉️
💪💪
That's looking NY?
Very high end place...
Boston Celtics did win the NBA champion 😂😂😂 #GOAT
Wow really? Did they?
@@JayAbroad yup, I owe you a beer and a cigar
Jay, how do you handle the residence situation as it pertains to taxation in US. That is, do you have an address in US vs reporting as international resident? If you do have a US residence for tax purposes, do you pay state taxes?
Also, were you able to keep you us credit cards?
It doesn't matter whether you have an address in the US or abroad, if you are an American citizen and getting paid by American companies you have to pay taxes. You can live in igloo on a glacier in Iceland, Uncle Sam want his by all means. If you business is set up in a State where there are State taxes you must pay. And yes all my credit cards were issued by US Banks.
@@JayAbroad I know Uncle Sam is Gagnsta! I’m just trying to figure out how to minimize taxation as a contractor man! 😏
I guess I have to keep searching. You know how it is, one keeps knocking doors; eventually someone answers and one follows. 😉I’ll get my answer 😏
@@rosemaryvp Well if you get an answer different than mine let me know. Because I searched too and talked with CPAs and I've gotten the same answer. The only other way is FEIE (ForeignEarned Income Exclusion) you can earn up to $120k tax free. The caviat to that is you must be a resident of the country. So I can't use this until I'm a resident. Other than that we are back to my original answer.
@@JayAbroad that’s more like what I was thinking. Thanks!
Learn about crypto bro!😎
I need a good High Interest Earning Bank.
American Express has around 4.25% apy
Dividend investing is king. VYM for the win 💰
Is that a good one, I should look into?
@@JayAbroad VTI, VYM are the index funds but VTSAX, VYMI are the big boy funds $.
@@JayAbroad hmm, not sure what happend to my other response. but VTI and VYM are index funds and VTSAX, VYMI are the big boy funds $. VTSAX is the G.O.A.T.
Got it I'm going to look into all of them.
