It’s a waste of money to have to repurchase things I already own. We plan to have a furnished rental, but I love to cook and hate the thought of wasting my retirement dollars re-buying kitchen goods that I already have in abundance and could ... Read More

Dual citizenship is fine. Residency in two countries would be silly especially for tax purposes, but generally speaking, residency is based on 183 days living in one country and where one has actually applied for residency. That is what Baja ... Read More
