Quote from flyingiguana:

wow i thought for sure antigua would show up in this thread. most people i've known who moved down that way have moved to antigua for business purposes.

Antigua is just a place you stop on the way to or from somewhere better. I have more antigua stamps in my passport than any other and I've never spent a night there.
 
I live in miami beach so i think this is the best spot..but if your not American ..i would look into Florianopolis Brasil

not the carribean...but great surfing, kite boarding and other water activities....hottest girls in the world hands down
great nightlife

relatively cheap (but with dollar tank gettin more expensive)

safer than almost all brasilian cities

i traded from there for a month ...it was great!!

Almost eastern time zone....

would trade the morning...surf..then come back to put on overnights......

never had a power outage.but did have lil internet problem..which i think could be fixed if i lived there insted of rented a temp house
 
Florianopolis gets chilly in winter however. I think he is looking for someplace tropical year round. I spent 6 months in Jericoacoara. That is paradise, and very tropical, but trading from there is tough as the net goes out on a regular basis!
 
Quote from Jayford:

The USVI is United States Territory. Giving up your passport would do no good.

If you live there you pay your taxes to the USVI and not the US IRS. The rates are all about the same however, unless you do some legal corporate stuff with a tax attorney, but it may involve hiring 10 locals to get the 10% tax rate.

There are a few hedge funds that legally do this, as well as some big individual traders. I believe it may be spendy to set up however. I was thinking of doing this also, but I got tired of the humidity rather quickly.

I never suggested giving up a passport to live in the USVI. I was referring to US citizens who want to live in some tax haven to avoid taxes. According to this article : http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/05/national/05taxes.html , the income tax rates for USVI residents can be as low as 3.5%.


BTW, there is a new law coming into effect that makes it much more difficult and expensive to give up US citizenship.
