We continue our journey down the path of expatriation, finding opportunities outside of your native land and looking at those who have done it. In this episode, Myles talks with his friend James Guzman from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico on his journey, why he chose to leave the USA in search of his future outside and what he discovered almost 10 years later. Enjoy!

Author Travis Luther has just released a new book ''The Fun side of the Wall'' and it is all about those that wish to retire in Mexico. In this episode, I do a deep dive with Travis as we talk about the reasons that people do this, what they go in search for, what they find and whether they stay. Enjoy!

This is my first ''fireside chat'' with Mikkel Thorup on the subject of internationalization, expatriation, living a free life and escaping the clutches of western society. Mikkel is the best selling author of ''Expat Secrets'' available on Amazon, the host of the popular ''Expat Money Show'' and the guy behind the recent Offshore Escape summit.In this episode we sit down and talk about Mikkel's amazing story, how he has traveled to over 100 countries and spent the past 20 years living and traveling the world, thriving and raising his family along the way.

I am introducing a series of five (5) interviews on how to prepare your life and your finances for internationalization. Being able to have a ''bug out'' strategy should the USA go through a possible financial collapse, social uprising, civil war or other potential catastrophic situation is critical in 2020. We will be describing how other countries have been down this road before, and introduce our upcoming interviews with thought leaders in this space.

The one rule that I think everyone agrees to - whether you are Suzie Orman or a FIRE advocate, is that you CANNOT retire with any debt. When we use the term debt we are referring to personal debt - Im not talking about holding debt for income producing assets like real estate. But with this generally accepted rule, why is it that everyone is being hypnotized to think of debt as a currency?

I've questioned this for all of my working life. What drives us to work? What is the real reason why we do what we do? And in this episode not only do I explore why, but I also explain the dangers of not working, how retirees run the risk of psychological issues, depression regardless of when they retire and what must be understood in order to successfully transition from wage slave to financially independent and survive mentally.

This is an out of cycle podcast recorded June 1st 2020. In this episode I cover the recent riots, martial law, lock downs and all things that threaten your freedom and being unconstrained.

Last year, I had a total shoulder replacement surgery done in Guadalajara, Mexico. It was a major success. I was quoted $125,000 for the surgery in the USA, and got it done for a total cost of $9,000 in Mexico.On this episode, I am interviewed on the Evan Brand podcast on the whole experience. Evan is a medical practitioner and wanted to know about the whole experience. Enjoy.

Since many companies have decided to either close entirely or cut back as a result of the pandemic, those that have been on the path to FIRE are looking at whether they should exit work now, often earlier than planned, since the economic outlook is bleak.I'm going to give you my take on this and my suggestions. We'll do a deep dive on the economy and what the real decisions have to be in this episode.

In this final episode in the Frugal Millionaire mini-series we cover how to be healthy and extend your life without destroying your finances.

In this episode Myles covers how to save a ton of money with technology, but more importantly how to avoid being shackled by it. We discuss costs, obsolescence and most important, your privacy & freedom.

Cars are the most expensive technological purchase that most of us will make. Yet saving money with them seems to be something we fail at more than succeed. In this episode we will revisit general best practices at frugal car ownership and you might be surprised at the recommendations.

We continue on with the theme of frugality. In this episode, I dig into home costs and how I have reduced them way down. These techniques may seem atypical for many, but the results are outstanding.

This is the first in a small series I've been wanting to do on the podcast for a while. I thought it was timely since people are living in a world where they are losing their jobs, reduced income, small business closures, etc. and the natural path is to find ways to get by with less. This typically means cutting expenses. However the reality for the unconstrained is that frugality is just a way of life, so they are the best prepared for the ups and downs of the economy.

In this episode I revisit why the quest to be unconstrained matters more during times of instability and crisis, and how mental clarity is the only hope of keeping you on the right path towards your freedom. Although we are in very interesting times, this is when those that can see what is going on with clarity are able to find the opportunities before others.

One major part of my Smart Income stream is rental real estate. Although it is not all of our income, it represents at least 50% of it, so when all of my tenants were forced to Shelter in Place and a large percentage lost their jobs, it brought back memories of 2008. Let me explain the strategies that we are doing so that it might help you determine yours.

Those with clarity of mind will see opportunities when all others see disaster. So how do you find mental peace and get that clarity? Simple. Get through the grief process faster than everyone else.

As we navigate through these uncertain times, we take the opportunity to test the methods of Financial Sustainability against crisis and show it to be the best strategy to secure your future and your wealth going forward.

This is a impromptu show that i recorded to get timely information out as people are grappling with the effects of a pandemic and the facts that the mainstream media probably are not telling you.

On today's show I am joined by the legendary economic analyst Lynette Zang on the big picture of why things are how they are, where they are going and what is likely to be the best investment and security option for the future.
