CONCLUSION

I really got a ton of information from my interview with my good friend Shlomo Freund from Free Financial Self. We talk about how you can achieve financial freedom as an expat and the sooner you start implementing Point A, the faster Point B will happen. When I first started The Expat Money Show, my goal was to help expat entrepreneurs and in this interview, we’re still on track!

Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.

The entire account opening is done online—fast, private, and no nonsense. If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, get the details now at ExpatMoney.com/gold
