GET GOING NEWSLETTER · June 9, 2026
The average American thinks going abroad is a lifestyle choice. High-net-worth individuals think it is a strategy.
Most Americans have a passport. Most have never used it for more than two weeks at a time. That is not about money, and it is not about desire. Most of the people reading this newsletter have thought about it. Many have done the research. A fair number have done it twice.
What stops them is structural hesitance — a vague sense that it is complicated, risky, or not how responsible people behave. That hesitance is not accidental. It is the product of an information environment that has a financial interest in keeping your money, your income, and your tax obligation inside one jurisdiction.
The people who have already moved — the ones quietly restructuring residency, banking, and business operations across multiple countries — do not have less to lose. They decided to stop treating international mobility as a subject for later and started treating it as a tool available right now.
The gap between those two groups is not income. It is information and timing.

I Moved Abroad in 90 Days: The Exact System I Used (And What Almost Broke Me)
A breakdown of the full 90-day process — documents, banking, housing, and financial prep — from someone who actually ran it.
“Market correction is just a fancy way of saying ‘losing money.'”
A post in Mobility Musings — starting in 1999 at the dot-com peak and drawing a straight line to what that experience says about financial positioning today.

Full 180: Guide to International Relocation
If you are in the group that has been thinking about this and has not taken the first concrete step, Full 180 is where you start. Ten chapters covering every stage of an actual relocation — how residency and travel status work, how to choose a country, how to move your finances, how to run a business abroad, and how to get your family through the process.
This is not a motivational program. Every lesson covers something you need to understand before you can make a good decision. Built by a practicing attorney who made the move himself in 2021 and has been practicing international immigration law ever since.
