Every Government wants foreign investment. No Government wants their citizens to berepparttar foreign investors in another country. Most Governments have stringent currency and other restrictions to ensurerepparttar 112396 wealth of their nation remains withinrepparttar 112397 country's borders.

History teachesrepparttar 112398 middle-class that putting all your wealth in any one country is always a mistake. My middle-class grandparents had to flee Ireland without a dime. My wife's upper middle-class grandparents had to flee Mexico, without a dime. Inrepparttar 112399 1920s, Lenin executed five million lower middle-class farmers (Kulaks). Inrepparttar 112400 1940s, Hitler murdered six million middle-class Jews. Stalin murdered several million communists inrepparttar 112401 1930s as well asrepparttar 112402 middle class fromrepparttar 112403 Ukraine to Poland. Today,repparttar 112404 middle-class Chinese community is at risk in many Asian countries.

Look into your family history, you will find one or more examples of ancestors who faced execution or relocation inrepparttar 112405 past two hundred years. Read a modern history book about your country. You'll find scores of examples of groups who emigrated beyond your borders or who were executed. I can guarantee you that History will repeat itself inrepparttar 112406 next one hundred years. Some of your heirs won't be living in whatever country you may reside in today. If you fail to plan for this recurrent historical event, you will force your heirs to relive past History.

If you move twenty percent of your net assets offshore inrepparttar 112407 next two years, byrepparttar 112408 year 2040, you will have one-third more wealth offshore than in your native country. And this assumes that you will earnrepparttar 112409 same return on investment with both sets of assets. The reason is that your offshore assets won't be subject to income taxes. And, it is nearly impossible to userepparttar 112410 Courts in any country to recover assets beyond that country's borders.

If you live in a country that allows you to move your wealth offshore viarepparttar 112411 local banking system, do it. Move twenty percent of your net worth offshore this year. Pay your taxes onrepparttar 112412 money you are moving and your Government should not have a problem with your family globalization policy.

Auto Loan Buying Tips

Written by Duane Lipham


Have you ever felt like you bought an auto and financed it and don't really know if you gotrepparttar right price or financing arrangements after it was all over? Well, don't feel alone. This is a common experience for many people who make auto purchases.

Guidelines for negotiatingrepparttar 112395 car price can be found elsewhere, but we want to share some helpful tips on getting that vehicle financed atrepparttar 112396 best rates and terms for you.

The first step is to make sure that you negotiaterepparttar 112397 car's price separate fromrepparttar 112398 vehicle financing arrangements. Most dealers want to lump it all together because they can hide quite a bit ofrepparttar 112399 actual price ofrepparttar 112400 vehicle inrepparttar 112401 loan contract, and they will usually just try to meet a monthly payment figure that you can live with rather than disclose allrepparttar 112402 details aboutrepparttar 112403 loan.

So your work actually should begin before you ever visitrepparttar 112404 dealer lot. Try to determine beforehand what vehicle(s) you are interested in buying and become familiar withrepparttar 112405 average cost for that vehicle, either online or locally. Then make sure that it will fit your budget. Most financial experts recommend that you shouldn't spend more than 10% of your monthly income on vehicle costs, includingrepparttar 112406 loan, gas, repairs, insurance, etc.

Since you now knowrepparttar 112407 price that you want to pay, you need to find out whatrepparttar 112408 loan will cost, so visit some auto loan websites and/or local banks, and apply for an auto loan. See what rates and terms they offer you. Much of that will be determined by your credit history. If you can get pre-approved for a loan, allrepparttar 112409 better.

Experts also recommend that you try to put at least 20% ofrepparttar 112410 car price onrepparttar 112411 loan as a down payment towardrepparttar 112412 purchase ofrepparttar 112413 vehicle, either in cash or inrepparttar 112414 trade equity of your current vehicle. Why? Well, so many people are being put into loans these days with longer and longer payback periods and little down payment andrepparttar 112415 net result is that if they want to trade that car in withinrepparttar 112416 first year or so they find that they actually may owe more onrepparttar 112417 car than it is even worth. So using sound financial decisions beforehand can prevent this from happening.
