Its all depend on what you mean... sunrise, lonly on the beach.... some local fishermans ... and then back in civilization, 3 minutes driving, no nevrotic yraffic, drive enjoy and have your perfect expresso coffe and some friendly smiles... and sunset - feeding fishes with bread crumbles togather with kids .... and then diner in croweded restaurant with excellent food... or at home, grill what you catch... it is differant life, very different.
Florida is a mecca for traders, why taxfree Bahamas (50 miles away) is not?

I'm still not buying it. You have all this in FL. Plus a lot more culture, sports, variety, schools, hospitals, etc. Seriously are you sure you have been to FL? LOL. You basically just described Boca Raton.
Dear Handle123, thank you for your post.
I am not sure about agreements, but there was a big scandal with one USA broker who opened a brokerage firm here.
We are now discussing Bahamas vs.Florida and my question is, why till now all succesful traders located in Florida has not relocated in the Bahamas?
And if you was my neigbor I certainly will tell you that we are traders, (as I always did and do), we are devoted, commited, fashinated by this mastery which is bringing unlimited financial freedom while you are evolving to better you.
I will not stoll your systen, not even dicuss that, simply because I can not trust it - it was not developed by me, not tested and when market will hit I will not be able to manage, as Bary Burns explaining very well in one of his courses and as I verified on my own experience.
I am coming from the world described by Leo Melamed un his book 'Escape to the futures", where traders were all one tribe, ane devotion.
And in ten years one of our best experiences was to met our neigvor family, he was trader and having little hedge fund, little aircraft to fly family from Fl here, on weekands, which he puloted. We shared oassion for music and history. And thanks to him landed to the futures. This was great inspiration.

Nooo! This is getting absolutely funny - our last period we spend exactly in Boca Raton. I am glad firtst of all because we have so differant perception of reality and still xommunicating with humor.
So, I ve been in Fl. But have you ever spent one monthe at least in the Bahamas, especially on one of the family usland out of Nassau and Freeport? Then we can speack same kanguage. Forget criteria about hospitals, movie theaters etc - you are elite trader and can private jet or took a first commercial floght. Put on values of love, silence, no rish, your family, you. Kids are more puzzled ta watch fishes in the ocean then to play games etc....
I am happy for your piece of heaven, but obviously not for most people, I like it on a part time but never to live there. I prefer Italy, Spain, Ireland, Southern France and Isle of Mann. I have more of gypsy blood in me, don't like being couped up and being on an island any length of time be like prison to me. And neighbors never know what I do for livings, matter of fact last 20 years, never knew who neighbors were, either too far away as I been living on farms, large ledges off mountain houses or I pull into the garage and cactus have automated water sprinklers, never answer the door-just religious people anyway. I have good friends, they are wise and not live near me, LOL
You left out drive-by's".
All this has been covered in other threads. Relatively high-earning professionals on the coasts, such as many on this site, pay away well over half their income in taxes -- Federal income tax, state income tax, payroll taxes, property taxes, plus a hundred others. If you and the other lefties want to believe most of your income is an "insanely low" amount, good on ya.
What a neutiful life and nomads sporit! I am happy for you and it is intresting to live without knowing neighbours. We loved Italy too, Belgium and France. But with little children there are mote factors to consider, to grow them free and strong in inner spired, not wipped out by modern world superflui values.
Today the are grown enaugh, so soon the next trip toeards the worldcwill start. But I hope alway to return here... for quiete ocean, fishermens and sunsets.
Thank you Handla123 for sharing your nomad"s roads - this is how we hope our children will spent most of there lifes!
We have very few friends, here, Europe. They are gifts! More difficult for us because when you change country of birth, change social level from where you born, you losing most of them and not having time to socialise make it more difficult. Plus been traders and in past businessoweners - people in civil world has no idea, few are fascinated, many turning angry once you prospect that there is maybe no needs to devoite yourself and your kids to"have a job". And as you said, employees dadly can never be friends, we are not fun of managing orher people, always thinkibg to good about, was to paimful for me each drop of little dishonesties. So trading and legal work ate perfect for us. Hope in future to lanch some non-profit. First for this country
It is so nice you guys think of me, and I was going to send you coal for Christmas at one time.
You're alright Handle... I'z just havin a little fun. And you do kinda remind me of "the most interesting man in the world'.
