If she is being hit with a $50K balcony assessment, her condo is probably worth so much that she can easily structure a home equity to pay for that without affecting her current cashflow. The continued appreciation on her condo would likely offset that $50K. Yes, I'm making some assumptions...

Whether someone would be happy living at one place vs. another depends on many personal factors and preferences. When you asked for numbers on how you can afford living in the US with low income, including your $1500/month, I gave you a long list of benefits that would certainly make it...

Some Medicaid insurance plans even include a monthly credit of around $200 that can be used to pay for healthy food, OTC, and utilities.

The most important thing is to be able to prove that the money is clean, like withdrawal receipts from your bank. That's because even if it's less than $10K, and even though technically you don't have to declare that amount, a law enforcement officer can still seize your cash if they ONLY...

I only see a reference to their credit card (Fidelity Rewards Visa Signature card) no longer charging the foreign transaction fee on 'credit card purchases'. Using a credit card in an ATM is of course not recommended due to the cash advance fees. The Fidelity Debit Cards might refund the ATM...

If you can't recognize that your comments as criticizing her intelligence, then we will just have to agree to disagree on that. Given your of obvious opinion of Trump, shouldn't you welcome the fact that Trump had Jared and Ivanka as trusted advisers. Would it have been better if he had...

I thought Fidelity charge a 1% foreign transaction fee. Have this changed recently? In fact, I remember reading that they may even charge that 1% foreign transaction fee even when there's no currency conversion involved as long as the transaction was completed outside of the US. Schwab is the...

It's certainly fair to criticize her actions and opinions, but why criticize her intelligence? She helped got her brother elected president of Argentina. That clearly require intelligence and tact. Having a particular opinion on a certain issue doesn't make person more or less intelligent...

I wrote the above back in May when I was only suspecting that the trick works. Now I am convinced it works. I didn't get an email this time, but I automatically see a 61% discount on the fee when I login. Make sure you login and do NOT use the Estimate Price (Price Estimator) page; start from...

I'm curious if you have considered all of the following: 1. The Exit Tax when renouncing your US citizenship, which will include unrealized gains, and probably require you to mark-to-market the value of your company and other assets. 2. Argentina's tax code... The wealth tax in Argentina...

I think it's very helpful for the other members to ask for details and clarifications so that others will benefit, not just the original poster. In this particular case, perhaps the one who opted to apply for the digital nomad visa is aware of a particular benefit that others are not aware of...
