Hey GCC, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion is amazing! Thank you so much for making me aware of this – I’m able to pay no tax on my entire earned income! I also saw on your blog that it is possible for a married couple to earn about $100,000 in qualified dividends and long-term capital gains. Can I do that too?! That is, since the FEIE excludes all of my overseas work income, can I also harvest $100k of capital gains tax free?! Cuz that would be sweet!`
The end of 2018 marked the completion of 6 full years of early retirement and world travel.
It’s been a fun ride so far… we’ve traveled a bit, had a few good meals, and taken many naps.
But how effective have these 6 years been in terms of implementing our tax minimization strategies? Are Roth IRA Conversions, Capital Gain Harvesting, and nomadic strategery just fantasies we keep while working, or do they actually produce results in the real world?
Let’s do a financial check-up and see how we are doing.
