How much do you get taxed by the US when working abroad? Anyone who worked while living overseas able to chime in on this? I think the US is the only country in the world who taxes expats. :beli:

Has anyone here renounced their citizenship after moving to another country? Heard it's a pain in the ass to do that too.

I think its about 95 to 100k of income if you are employed by another company. You have to pay taxes on all rental income i believe though.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Just seen my boy that was out in Southeast Asia, he came home for Christmas and leaves for Indonesia tomorrow. He spent the last couple months in Malaysia on business, he no longer teaches English and works for an NGO, he makes around $60,000 out there consulting, that may not sound like a lot but that's 20x what the average citizen makes, he's basically balling out of control out there. Dude has no degree but got the job because one of the people he taught English to hooked him up. I spoke with him for awhile on it, he has enough free time and now he has enough money saved up that he's going to open his own diving school soon that caters to English speaking tourists. He bought a house there, no longer rents and has a maid that cooks for him :wow:

He invited me to go out there but I'm not fukking with them Southeast Asian airlines, they seem to have way too many problems :whoa:

I haven't read through this thread yet, so I don't know if you posted this information earlier, but what is your reason for moving? And what do you plan to do for work?

Long complicated story,I guess in short,I just wanna see what else is out there,I mentioned earlier I've been in the drug game for a lil bit,makin good money,while at the same time workin out of a strip club,so I've been doing a lot of partying with the dancers there,damn near hooked up with all of em,but actually built one on one personal relationships with them all,I was even basically pimpin a few for awhile,that's a whole other story tho. Honestly I just got tired of it all,I'm not a people person,but everyone tells me I'm a genuinely like able guy,and it started getting to me when I've had all my customers so happy to see me,tellin me I'm doing gods work,which in a way was fukked up,and at the same time I've learned so many of the dancers stories where it all makes sense why they do what they do,all while drunk,high and off pills.and it just felt like even tho they appreciated me that I was that dude to get it from,it felt like I was doing a good thing and bad thing at the same time,all while be being unhappy with myself,after awhile buying what I wanted I wasn't able to hide that I wasn't happy,sleeping around so easily with the dancers stop hosing that I wasn't happy,and guys would look at me funny,cuz they really can't see how they could feel bad for me since I'm out here gettin it AND fukkin the same strippers that they payin just to be tricks,I told myself I would save atleast 10k in a few months and leave,and that's where I'm at now. Dont plan on working as my expenses will be pretty low,plus the money I have will go a long way there,plus I have a lot of shyt I plan on sells in next few weeks that can net me another 2.5 k easily,plus I got fired from strip club so I got 1k a month commin towards me in unemployment,I have a few connect over there,so eventually I will want to dabble in the drug game over there :yeshrug:

Honestly, imo, it sounds like this move isn't gonna change much for you. It sounds like you plan on doing the same things you're doing now and you're just gonna end up in a different country with the same issues. I could be wrong though. I hope everything works out for you. Good luck, man.

It'll be different,I think I was too close n personal with the real affects of drug users by workin at strip club,idk if you heard that new track on Wales album called girls on drugs,but he hit it right on the head with that,if I do end up involving myself down the line,it'll be on a bigger less personal scale over there,but I appreciate your words,I too hope I find what ever it is I'm tryna look for

Cot damn, you were on the verge of being kidnapped and ransomed :whoa: I can only imagine how dope that place is for you to want to go back and live there in spite of that.


I loved Colombia, I've said it before it's right there with Brazil for me, the only difference is I stayed in Brazil longer so I have more memories but I'd live in Colombia in a heartbeat. I didn't go to Medellin though, I stayed in Barranquilla & Cartagena, and I also got to check out Santa Marta as well. I never got to Medellin, wherever I go I like to be near water and Medellin being landlocked kept it off my radar, I've heard from friends it's dope as hell but that lack of large bodies of water is :ld: to me. I loved Barranquilla though, and that was before it's recent modernization and growth, it being so close to Cartagena and Santa Marta and right on the Caribbean sea did it for me, the women were just :wow: on a per capita basis they were more attractive than Brazilians, it's just so hard to compete with the overwhelming number of bad broads in Brazil but Colombia is like the pound 4 pound champ. The atmosphere and how laid back it was is right up my alley, and the contrast between the 3 cities was another reason I liked it. Barranquilla is more serious and upscale, Cartagena is the touristy party spot, and Santa Marta is like the laid back spot that is a mixture of both of the others.

I'd still live in Brazil, the dollar is really strong compared to the R$ right now, but I also think they're going to have some problems leading up to and after the Olympics. You can't spend as much as they have between the world cup and Olympics and not run into some major problems in the future.

YO fam, do you speak the languages in those places you've lived at?

Is it important to learn the local language to live in Latin America?

And how did you learn the languages, if you know 'em?
