  • Mike Swigunski is a 33-year-old nomadic entrepreneur who moved to Tbilisi, Georgia from the U.S. He is able to take advantage of tax benefits from living abroad and a low cost of living that allows him to work as little or as often as he likes, and he still manages to make $275,000 a year. As a result he has traveled to 100 countries, can afford a two-story apartment, and has a private chef come six times a week to cook for him.

All this, while making cost of living in that country more expensive for locals by "living" there with their high foreign salary/money; and not paying the full extent of taxes the citizens do. My friends in Spain can't even afford a place to live, other than with their parents, thanks to "digital nomads" and a host of other problems.

    If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability.

    So this type of people outsource their income from already wealthy people in wealthy countries, come to countries where taxes are low, contribute very little to the local economy and local social life as they don't integrate, speak only english. Meanwhile because they have so much money and don't know better they overpay for real estate and rents so that drives up the price for everyone and pushes out locals because they can't afford it anymore. Digital nomads are a pain, if you want to move to another country you gotta bring something for the place, not just take from it

      To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal. Remember, diversification is an approach to help manage investment risk. It does not eliminate the risk of loss if security prices decline.Because investing can be complicated, consider working with a financial professional to help guide you on your wealth-building journey.

    So I’ve lived in Georgia for a total of 6 years, coming in and out since 2010. Anyone considering moving here should know Georgians consider foreigners to either be tourists/guests or citizens, and you’re only a citizen of you’re married to a Georgian. Georgians do not consider foreigners as residents. Even though I am fluent in Georgian, have worked in Georgian companies, and visited every region here, ok still a “guest” after 6 years. In other words, don’t expect to integrate as it’s a closed society, and I actually understand and agree with Georgians about this.

      Georgia is not safe considering long term. Russia wants to recreate USSR and Georgia is one of the former republics of this communist state. Putin invaded Ukraine and is destroying our buildings and killing our people(including civilians). And the pretext for this invasion was to call us nazis(bad guys from WW2), though our president is jew. And depending on the results in Ukraine, he will decide weather to invade other country of the former USSR and which. That is why Ukraine heavily needs any support.

    Easy to run multiple businesses from Georgia? First of all no business is easy to run and multiples businesses is even harder even when on site. Second the typical 9-5 US workday is 10 pm to 4 am in Georgia. So this guy say his typical day is "I get up in the morning and..." is BS unless he has a time machine or wormhole access.
    A dude "projected" to make $275k is concerned about living in a place that costs less than the US? And BTW, many cheap places to live in the US. And FYI look at total costs and you'll find other countries cost about the same. The big factor is lifestyle. People can spend less in other countries, but could have also spent less in the US.
    Why would he say such silly things? Perhaps having a business that motivates people to move to other countries?
