...and What It Could Mean for Your Financial Future

International Living Postcards—your daily escape
Monday, Oct. 7, 2013

Dear International Living Reader,

The U.S. government is at war...with itself. All across America, government institutions have shut down, leaving just a skeleton staff to man the country. The doors of national monuments, including the Statue of Liberty, America’s greatest and best-known symbol of freedom and the American Dream, clanked shut last Monday...leaving the workers at those monuments adrift in a sea of uncertainty.

You’ve likely seen the troubling news already about the financial effect this government tit-for-tat is having on those State employees, holders of "secure" government jobs.

With no end to the shutdown in sight, I can't predict who'll be next.

There’s a hard lesson to be found in this story, the latest example of why you can’t rely on the government for your financial future.

Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not asking you to pick a political side in the current mess. (At IL, we have no particular dog in this fight.)

What I’m asking you to do is to take a pragmatic approach to securing your financial future. How best to do that? By exploring your financial options overseas.

If you think that offshore banking is the preserve of the rich, you'll learn this week (in a special series of essays) that's not so. Going offshore is something anyone can do...and is an easy and effective way to reduce your taxes, grow your nest egg and protect your financial privacy.

If you dream about a different life... one lived on a sun-dappled beach... or in a colonial, history-rich town... or some exotic big city abroad...

But you need an income to make it happen, sooner rather than later...

Then you should know: There are proven, flexible ways you can fund your life overseas...

So you gain the freedom to pick up and go... travel when you feel like it... live in a place you love... and all the while earn $12,000... $25,000... Even $40,000... even $85,000 a year or more Doing It...

This November, we’ll show you what they are...

If you believe there’s something dubious about moving your accounts offshore, allow us to reassure you. Despite what you may have heard, offshore activity is not criminal. Protecting your finances...whether that be through holding a foreign bank account, for example, or owning property overseas...is entirely legal.

Yes, the government needs to find the funds to pay off the deficit, in increasingly aggressive ways. But you have options.

If you take part or all of your assets offshore—which is your legal right—you deny others the opportunity to attack what's yours.

And if you’re thinking about retiring overseas, the right offshore strategy can make that easier... In several of the best retirement destinations worldwide, including Panama, Uruguay, Ireland, and Belize, that approach could entitle you to a second passport...and open up a whole new world of travel and investment opportunities.

Remember, you can’t rely on anyone else to see you through to a happy, financially comfortable retirement. You need to make sure you have a plan in place...so that your retirement funds—and the legacy you leave your loved ones—are protected.

Every month in International Living magazine, we bring you the latest and best ways to go offshore...keep you up to date on the developments that could affect your financial future...and show you how you could be living a better life...for less...overseas. And today, we’ll give you the escape plan you need to secure your financial freedom. Click here to find out more.

P.S. You don’t have to sit idly by and watch your nest egg drain away. Rising taxes...a devaluing dollar...and a lack of privacy from the government...don’t have to be facts of life. We’re going to show you the strategies you need to take control of your finances. Watch this video to discover more.
