"Kathleen, I loved the way you describe your early life and the honesty you show. I read your stuff religiously although I am unable to travel much at this point in my life. But I have been in many countries and done many things as an English teacher. I applaud you for your work. Best wishes to you and your husband."
--Robert B., United States

"Kathleen, is there an offshore bank that does not charge an annual or monthly service fee?"
--Wilhelm S., United States
Not that I know of. That's how banks worldwide...especially private banks...make their money.

This Is Your Final Call
Uncle Sam is working quietly, behind the scenes, to put obstacles in place that will make it more difficult for you to broaden your horizons overseas. And much more difficult for you to be in the driver's seat of your own future.
It's not just the banking arena that's under threat.
In 2008, changes to the Veterans Act allowed for an "exit tax" on U.S. citizens who choose to leave the country and end their citizenship.
What other countries have done this in the past? Nazi Germany. Communist Russia. Apartheid South Africa...
This is your civil liberty at stake. How long before you just won't be able to get your assets out of the States?
I'm not an alarmist. I'm a pragmatist. And, as a pragmatic investor, I've seen the writing on the wall for some time. I've worked all these years and with an added sense of urgency more recently to take control of my own life, my own financial future, and, most important to me now, the future of my family.
Now I'd like to offer you a chance to do the same.
