Friday Flight - Pre-K For Pay, Helicopter Savers, & Politics Shmoliticks #1029

Some families have lived on the same plot of land for generations… what’s more Americana than passing down the family farm to the next generation?! But the US also has a history of moving towards opportunity – the settling of the west and the gold rush in California, returning veterans moved at higher rates in the aftermath of WW2, and then more recently the pandemic led to an uptick in people reconsidering their living situation. BUT, what if the next great place to move to is an island in the Caribbean Sea? Not just because it’s beautiful, but because it offers certain tax perks that are unavailable anywhere else. Rachel Farris, CPA and tax strategist, joins the show to share the unique tax benefits of moving to Puerto Rico, particularly under Act 60, which offers significant savings for individuals and businesses. We discuss the implications of relocating including cultural adjustments of expat life, cost of living, the eligibility requirements for tax benefits, the appeal for W2 workers and entrepreneurs alike, the community of expats on the island, and much more!
