Finances From Digital Nomad/Expatriate POV (w/ Dalton Brewster) Pt 2 | travelDev Vlogs (218b)
Channel: Owl Taktiks
Date: 2020-06-22

I sat down with my friend Dalton to talk about securing our finances with the digital nomad or expatriate perspective. We talk about our current strategies and where we plan to allocate our resources and time. I think working from an atypical position allows you to pursue other opportunities that you might not have thought of going through the traditional corporate path. These conversations are always interesting. Unlike working in a corporate world where most of our money goes into your house or 401k, you're might think to invest in interesting business ideas, invest in real estate property in hot spots like Medellin or Playa Del Carmen, and the potential to save more of what you earn. Let's dive in!
