289: One Size Doesn't Fit All: Lessons From Homeschooling Five Children - Joshua Sheats

Today’s guest is Joshua Sheats. Joshua is an expert financial planner who teaches normal people how to seamlessly connect the science of financial planning with the joy of goal achievement. He is the host of the Radical Personal Finance podcast and, as you’ll hear in this episode, is also passionate about education and worldschooling with his five children. Since Joshua has discussed finance on over 1,000 episodes of his podcast, today, Joshua and I begin a three-part series in which we discuss everything but finance. In this conversation, we dive into Joshua’s approach to educating his five children while travelling the world.    TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JOSHUA SHEATS Learn about Joshua’s own educational upbringing, which included an eclectic mix of homeschooling, public school, a private Christian school and a traditional university.  Hear about the “conspiracy theory” Joshua uncovered about the insidious nature of government school systems. Listen to Joshua describe the “knowledge gap” between the United States and China and what it means for their respective approaches to education. Discover why Joshua has come to believe that education is always religious in nature  Hear Joshua explain how raising five children taught him there is no such thing as “one size fits all” parenting advice or educational method. Listen in as Joshua describes how relationships are built on “the currency of time” and why time spent with children early on is so critical to character development. Discover how Joshua learned how to create a controlled, positive environment around technology, which has encouraged his children to use it for positive, educational purposes.  By the end of the episode, you’ll understand why Joshua and I both want to “have it all” when it comes to raising our children and why you can legit have it all, too.   RELATED EPISODES 183: Navigating New Norms; Defending Children From Woke Educational Systems 115: The Solution To Educating Your Children Abroad - Michael Strong 098: Sixty Home Swaps In 3 Years Of Non-Stop Travel With 4 Kids In Tow – Daniel Prince   HOW TO FIND JOSHUA SHEATS Website: https://www.radicalpersonalfinance.com Follow Joshua Sheats on X   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Start next year off right by ensuring you receive the EMS Pulse newsletter and the weekly Expat Sunday Times!

Joshua is absolutely brilliant when it comes to personal finance. Still, I was so excited to dive into a subject you don’t hear him talk about as often and glean so many great insights from the homeschooling of his five children. And the conversation didn’t stop there!

288: Update: Why I Don’t Take My Foot Off The Gas

Today, I’m going to provide an update on everything that’s been going on over the past few weeks. It culminated with my birthday party here in Panama, which saw over 200 like-minded people come together for an incredible celebration. Prior to that, we had a week-long investors tour in Panama, which began just as I was coming back from a trip to Turkey.  As you can tell, it’s been a busy few weeks, but they’ve also been incredibly important. With how fast things are changing in today's world, this is no time to take the foot off the gas—it's time to accelerate, and that's exactly what you'll be seeing my team and I do this year. Today, I’ll share all the details and preview a bit of what the Expat Money team and I have planned for the year ahead.   TODAY’S UPDATE EPISODE: Listen in to hear about my trip to Turkey to finalize renovations on the home that we recently purchased in Istanbul. Learn about the recent investors tour we held in Panama prior to the party, where clients of mine came down to view some of the absolute gems of real estate deals that are brewing down here.  Find out why this will probably be the last of these investors' tours in Panama for a while and what we plan to do next year in its place. It’s going to be even more exciting! Hear the details of the upcoming Luxury Expat Exploration and Investment Tour in Paraguay. Many of my clients have become interested in this country lately, and we’re going to spend nine days exploring in style. Listen to the breakdown of my 41st birthday party - from the food, fireworks, and festivities to the amazing conversations with friends and clients.  Find out why it’s absolutely critical that you act RIGHT NOW to get Panama residency by investment before the minimum investment nearly doubles this year. Don’t hesitate & reach out to my team today to get started. Learn about the easiest way to make your real estate investment in Panama - our Panam Fly ‘N Buy Tours, where you’ll have all your expenses paid when you come down and purchase your property here in Panama.    SAVE THE DATE The team and I have already decided that instead of an investors tour next year, we’ll be hosting a conference on Friday followed by a Birthday party on Saturday. So SAVE THE DATE for March 14-16, 2025, and I hope to see you there!   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER If you’ve listened to this episode and aren’t on our newsletter yet, what are you waiting for?

Meeting with so many like-minded people and seeing faces, both familiar and new, is a great reminder of what this is all really about—building a community of like-minded people with a shared philosophy and commitment to taking action.  The Expat Money community, from my team members to my clients and partners all the way down to the casual listener of this podcast, represents people around the world who aren’t just complaining about all the world’s problems but are taking action to find higher ground for themselves and their families.  I hope you enjoyed this little recap of the last few weeks, and I’ll see you here next Wednesday!Mentioned in this episode:Grab Your Complementary Ticket To This Year's SummitMore than 40 Experts with Decades of Experience Reveal how to Reclaim your Freedom Abroad, Legally Reduce Your Tax Bill, and Maximize Your Returns with ZERO fear or Worry...

287: Expat News: Canadian Exodus, Panama’s Visa Boom, and El Salvador’s Pricey Citizenship

Today, I want to introduce a new segment in the show, one that my team and I have been talking about internally for a while. It will be known for now as “Expat News.” The idea is that every quarter or so, as I’m reading the news or going through government websites and I see changes to immigration and programs and things that affect the offshore and expat space, I’ll do one of these episodes breaking it all down.  So enjoy this premier edition of Expat News, where we’ll discuss a number of stories from the wave of migration from Canada to the popularity of Panama’s investment visa to El Salvador’s interesting - and pricey - citizenship program. Enjoy!   LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! This episode was a little bit of an experiment, so I really would appreciate all of your feedback. Would you like to see more “Expat News” segments in the future? Head over to the Expat Money Forum, and let me know what you think!   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER If you’ve listened to this episode and aren’t on our newsletter yet, what are you waiting for?

286: Untracked: The Role of Freedom Tech In Personal Security – Seth For Privacy

Seth for Privacy is a freedom maximalist and privacy advocate. He is the head of strategy and content for “Foundation Devices,” which builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your freedom. He also serves as the editor for Freedom Tech, a global hub championing Bitcoin builders, open-source developers, educators and privacy tech pioneers.  Seth and I have a great discussion about the various freedom technologies available to increase your privacy. Enjoy!   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH SETH FOR PRIVACY Listen in to find out how Seth first took an interest in privacy issues while working for a cybersecurity firm when he realized the technology he was working on could be used to oppress humans. Hear how Seth started writing and podcasting about freedom issues in order to right some of the wrongs he had contributed to in his career.   Learn why Seth believes that free and open-source privacy tools are vital in protecting one’s privacy from both government and corporate spying.  Find out why Seth believes Bitcoin to be a core technology when it comes to privacy and security but why Bitcoin alone is not enough.  Hear Seth and I discuss the importance of self-custody when it comes to Bitcoin to fully utilize it as “Freedom Money.” Listen to Seth unveil some of the easiest “levers” people can enact right away to increase their own privacy. Learn why Seth is opposed to “privacy maximalism.” Just as I say, there is no “Shangri-La” perfect country out there; the same holds true for privacy technology. Find out what Seth thinks of the popular privacy-centric messaging apps like Telegram, Signal and Simplex - are some better than others? Hear Seth explain the importance of an “always-on” VPN - a simple tool that, while sometimes creating a minor inconvenience on some websites, presents a huge privacy upgrade. Seth and I discuss our philosophy on how to decide when trade-offs in privacy are worth the gain in productivity or security.   RELATED EPISODES 241: How to Secure Your Online Identity - Josh Summers 223: Fortifying Your Digital Fortress: Top Privacy and Security Tips For Expats 162: How Privacy Can Protect You If They Come For You - Gabriel Custodiet   HOW TO FIND SETH FOR PRIVACY Email: seth@foundationdevices.com Seth For Privacy on X   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Start next year off right by ensuring you receive the EMS Pulse newsletter and the weekly Expat Sunday Times! Sign up now, and you’ll also receive my FREE special report, “Plan B Residencies and Instant Citizenships.”   CONCLUSION It was great talking to Seth about the various technologies available to enhance your privacy in today’s digital age. Just as there is no “Shangri-La” perfect libertarian country out there, similarly, there is no perfect technology. Ultimately, the decisions you make in regard to how much privacy you are willing to give up in order to make your life or work more convenient.  I have to make these decisions every day in my business, and the answers will look different for everyone. Hopefully, today’s discussion with Seth will continue to broaden your knowledge of the types of technologies available - and the rest is up to you!

285: Building Wealth In Paraguay's 2024 Real Estate Boom - Part Two

This is the second part of the presentation I put together with my friend Fernando about the incredible, under-the-radar opportunities for real estate investment in Paraguay. I met Fernando when I travelled to Paraguay last year to explore the country, and we became not only fast friends but also business partners. I was thrilled to have him come on and share everything he has learned living and investing in Paraguay. We also took some questions from webinar attendees as we recorded it live. If you missed last week’s episode, be sure to go back and listen to that one first so you’re all caught up. Enjoy!   TODAY’S PANEL ON BUILDING WEALTH IN PARAGUAY’S REAL ESTATE BOOM Learn how the last decade of infrastructure development translates to investors entering an area that is proven, tested, and primed for growth. Find out how the opportunities available in Paraguay represent an economic “perfect storm” with huge potential for both cash returns and capital appreciation. This is exactly what I look for in my investments.  Hear the details of how Fernando’s team at Green Parana handles all of the little details so that the whole process is turnkey for my investors. Gain a detailed understanding of the strategies for renting these units - short or long-term, furnished or unfurnished - it’s all up to you! Get the inside scoop on the different types of apartments available and the discounts I was able to secure on these units. You will seriously be floored when you hear these prices! Find out why I am only looking at this opportunity as an investment, not as a launching pad for moving to Paraguay as an expat, which is really a separate conversation.  You are not going to believe the “cherry on top,” as we refer to it, that will be included with these rentals for my investors - this is not something you normally get when you invest in a rental property!  Finally, Fernando and I take questions from our live attendees and put to rest any remaining doubts you might have about Paraguay’s coming real estate boom.   SECURE YOUR PARAGUAY PROPERTY TODAY!

I never recommend investments that I am not making myself, and I’ve got a number of these units in my portfolio already.  But as you heard in the presentation, the units I was able to secure for my investors are limited and are already going fast, so be sure to reach out to Fernando ASAP by emailing ExpatMoney@GreenParana.com for more information. My private clients will move to the front of the line, and in fact, I may not even leave this podcast up for long, so don’t hesitate to act!Mentioned in this episode:Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch ItFiat is failing.

284: Building Wealth In Paraguay’s 2024 Real Estate Boom - Part One

This is a replay of a webinar I hosted about the incredible investment opportunities in Paraguay I uncovered on my recent trip to that off-the-radar South American country. I invited my friend Fernando to explain why Paraguay’s real estate market is such an exciting prospect in 2024 and how you can capitalize on those opportunities now before the rest of the world catches up. Enjoy!   TODAY’S PRESENTATION ON PARAGUAY’S REAL ESTATE BOOM Tune in to meet Fernando; he and I became fast friends when we met up in Paraguay and are now working together to educate expats about Paraguay’s burgeoning real estate market.  Hear Fernando describe Paraguay as a conservative culture with liberal economic policies - the sort that many of my clients are looking for as expats. Fernando breaks down the recent change in Paraguay’s government and why the current president shows a lot of promise in regard to staying out of the economy. Learn why Paraguay has such a positive and mutually beneficial relationship with its largest neighbour, Brazil, another country I’m a huge fan of.  Hear Fernando expertly break down the current housing “problem” in Paraguay - a problem that is music to the ears of investors looking to capitalize on a real estate market that’s ready to explode.  Water, water, everywhere! If you love water, Paraguay is the place for you, as there are luscious rivers and waterfalls nearly everywhere you look.  Marvel at Paraguay’s incredible energy sector - one that has seen no rise in energy prices in over eight years! Be sure to stay tuned in to the end, where Fernando will unveil the great discount I was able to negotiate for my subscribers on his units, along with all the details you need to know. This is a discount you won’t be able to get anywhere else!   SECURE YOUR PARAGUAY PROPERTY TODAY!

This is a country that is still off-the-radar enough that you can still get some great deals - especially if you go through Fernando.  But the low prices won’t last forever as more savvy offshore investors discover the opportunities in Paraguay, so be sure to reach out to us at ExpatMoney@GreenParana.com for more information.

283: Panama Healthcare: Personal Case Study Report

It has not been a great couple of weeks here for myself and my family, but I want to share this story with you because I think there is an excellent opportunity to impart some lessons, not only about the excellent healthcare system here in Panama but also about living overseas overall.  You’ll hear it in my voice that I’m still not entirely back to 100%, but I wanted to get this one out while everything was fresh on my mind. I hope you find value in my experience and can use it to better prepare for your own expat future.    EXPAT HEALTH INSURANCE If one thing should be clear from my story today, it is that it is absolutely essential to plan for the worst-case scenario when you are living abroad or travelling.

Even as I write this, I am still not back to 100%, but I really wanted to share this with you to drive home how important it is to have access to affordable health care, no matter where you are in the world.  Aside from that, my experience really demonstrates the value of a support network. I am so grateful to have been surrounded by family, hired help, and friends in the community who I could count on while I was out of commission.  We can never prepare for every possible scenario, but we can take actionable steps to put ourselves and our families in the best possible position to cope with the unexpected when it inevitably strikes.

Dr. Paul is a former U.S. Congressman, ran for President three times, and is an accomplished author and speaker.  Dr. Paul always has valuable insights to share from his perspective, both as an Austrian economist and a former U.S. politician and with everything going on in the world, I wanted to invite him back to get his perspective on the trends going into 2024, including the march toward a possible World War 3.     TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH DR. RON PAUL Listen in to Dr. Paul’s perspective on why Austrian economics can predict trends but not specifics. This is an important distinction!  Does Dr. Paul believe we will see a new world reserve currency? Dr. Paul breaks down why the end of the dollar is inevitable but not necessarily imminent Find out how Dr. Paul views the current escalations in tensions with China. Will this lead to a hot war in Asia?  Could there be a reinstatement of the draft in the United States? Dr. Paul and I discuss the possibility that many U.S. clients of mine have expressed concerns about. Hear Dr. Paul’s opinion on where in the world would be a safe place to go if a World War III scenario were to play out. You won’t want to miss Ron’s epic rant about why the real isolationists are the governments and politicians causing wars and interfering in the economy. Dr. Paul really got fired up here! Finally, you’ll get Ron Paul’s predictions for 2024. How does he see the U.S. election playing out? What will unfold in regard to the march towards World War 3? And where does he find hope?   WHERE TO FIND DR.

But what I also love about him is his ability to see beyond the theoretical and apply the ideas of Austrian economics and human action to the current real-world scenarios we see playing out.  While we can’t predict the specifics, the trends are clear, and the doors to many countries will likely be closing, especially if a world war scenario plays out. This is why I always encourage everyone to act now when it comes to crafting your Plan B scenario.  I hope you enjoyed hearing Dr. Paul’s perspective as much as I always do. I’ll see you next Wednesday!

281: Plan-B Insights: Evaluating Hungary’s Residency Potential – Laszlo Kiss

I invited Laszlo back to the show to discuss the various new immigration programs that have recently come out of his home country of Hungary. Who better than a Hungarian to help break it all down? Today’s guest is Laszlo Kiss, who is making his return to the Expat Money Show after first appearing way back on episode 99. He has more than 30 years of experience in the offshore space since his first citizenship sale in 1997. Laszlo is a personal friend of mine and has been a mentor to me for a number of years.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH LASZLO KISS Listen to hear why, despite conducting his business in the expat world, Laszlo has decided to remain in his home country of Hungary.  Find out how the interesting influx into Hungary of students from both Iran and Israel are getting along together. Hear why Hungary has had to become more strict in recent years when it comes to its immigration policies. Learn the details of the different investment options available to pursue Hungarian residency. Listen to Laszlo and I break down the important distinction between having a residency in Europe vs. citizenship in regards to which countries you can actually live in.  Hear the fascinating story about the Hungarian man who acquired five different citizenships - without even leaving his village! What’s it like living next door to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? Laszlo delivers his account from the ground. Listen to Laszlo’s first-hand breakdown of everything you need to know about life in Hungary, from safety to health care to cost of living and, of course, the food (always important to me!)   RELATED EPISODES 266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats? 264: How To Get A Backup Citizenship Or Residency 099: Best European Passports For Sale – Laszlo Kiss   HOW TO FIND LASZLO KISS Email: expat@discusholdings.com Website: https://www.discusholdings.com/   CONCLUSION I have known Lazslo for many years, and I always have a blast talking to him. Hungary is a country many don’t often think about when it comes to an expat Plan B, but it certainly has a number of interesting advantages worth exploring.  As always, I try to provide as complete a picture as possible when breaking down a country, and there is quite literally no better expert in the world when it comes to gaining residency and citizenship in Hungary than Laszlo Kiss.
