118: Mikkel Thorup – Real-Life Solutions for Living Overseas for Freedom and Prosperity
Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Mikkel Thorup. Recently I was interviewed on The Brian Nichols Show and it was such a great interview that I wanted to share with you what it's like to be on the other side of the podcast microphone. This time around Brian asks the questions and I get to answer them.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
Objections - how can I live this expat lifestyle and debunk them
Brand new president
I’m not going to live in this country anymore
Escape Artist and Expat Money Show
Help Americans and Canadians to move overseas
Move them...or their businesses overseas
Real advantages of living in other countries
Especially from the USA, looking for freedom and real-life solutions
Not just ideas, wishful thinking, these are real-life things you can put in your life right now
How to be problem solvers, how to help people
What is our belief system?
I thought I was in control...I was wrong!
Different jurisdictions, advantages; disadvantages; local tax requirements; how do we stay legal; tax-efficient manner; that’s the stuff that I geek out on and help people today
Individual sovereignty, personal responsibility
If you believe that ‘tax’ is theft, what are you doing about it? or that war is murder
Where could you live
Other problems: taxes will be raised, gift exemption going down, California is tracking people and wants their portion of income tax
The legality of the election
People don’t feel safe, being targeted or feel wanted
What are the solutions? What is the plan?
What about culture, moving your entire life and family to a foreign country?
What about my job?
Have a plan in place
And more!

I really enjoy being interviewed on other podcasts. This is the 2nd time for The Brian Nichols Show and I'm sure it won't be the last. People every day are coming to be wanting, needing, to leave the USA or Canada, or any other country for that matter. They need solutions. Real-life solutions and my job is to listen, and then figure out a plan that works for everyone. Maybe in next month, next year, a 5-year plan, but we work together and make it happen.

If you are looking for a backup residency, Panama is a good option because it is affordable and you only need to visit the country one day every two years. It's a tropical country, with warm weather all year round. Taxes are almost nonexistent, no standing military, lots of expats, lots of freedom (outside of covid), a high standard of living, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. These are just some of the reasons Panama might be a good option for you, listen in to the episode for everything you will need to know to make it a reality.

CONCLUSION
I can see why Tariq loves working with 'Pre High Net Worth' individuals. A young 22-year-old comes to him for advice, and they can plan out his/her future to ensure they take all the right steps so when retirement is around the corner, they are prepared. And these pre-high net worth individuals come to him because their parents came to him first. The parents made sure their retirement was in place and they were able to say to their children, see, we listened to the advice given to us by Tariq, we believe you should do the same. Wow, I just love it!
