This recession is going to unravel the retirement plans of
millions But a Select Few are Going to Enjoy the BEST RETIREMENT EVER! You Could Easily Join Them. 2008 Live & Invest Overseas Conference
October 3-5 - Long Beach, California
Dear Worried American, This fall, I’d like to introduce you to six “Pockets of Prosperity”… sanctuaries around the world where you and your finances can rest, grow, and flourish. They’re places where, today, you can secure your dream escape for a small fraction of what you’d pay for something comparable at home… Like a two-bedroom house on a sandy, palm-lined beach for just $129,000… Or a four-bedroom colonial-era home in the city center for a mere $39,000… Or how about an Italian villa in a picture-perfect village for less than $53,000… In one country I know, you can hire a full-time housekeeper for $100 a week. In another, a nice Chilean Merlot goes for $4. You can have your teeth cleaned or a cavity filled for a mere $35 in one haven I’d recommend. And how would you like to pay just 50 cents for a kilo of fresh mangos, oranges, or pears… or $1.55 for a kilo of avocados, which is roughly what you'd pay for a single avocado in the U.S. In these special destinations you can live in pampered luxury for $1,416 a month, or even less… Whether you’re looking for a full-time retreat… a retirement haven for the future… or simply a prudent place to invest when the home front holds little promise… In these safe havens, you can turn this time of recession into an era of profit and pleasure for you and your family. I’d like to invite you to join me in Long Beach, California this October for our annual Live & Invest Overseas Conference. It’s the one time this year when we’ll gather Stateside to show you, in person, how and where you can protect your portfolio and improve your quality of life. So you can enjoy peace of mind in a time of increasing uncertainty here at home. While Your Neighbors Scrimp… You Can Live Comfortably and with Confidence that Your Future is Secure It means that while your neighbors tighten their belts and reign in their retirement dreams… you can live with less stress, more freedom, and all the comforts you’ve always imagined…
In Long Beach this fall, we’re going to pinpoint for you on a map a handful of havens that stand apart in the world… In these “Pockets of Prosperity,” you’ll find precisely the comfort and security that’s likely to elude many folks here at home in the years to come… I’m talking about places where you can luxuriate on a palm-lined beach… or relax in the comfort of your own flower-filled courtyard… or enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle in city where you can sample great cultural offerings… Places where you can have the quality of life you’ve come to expect and appreciate… the quality of life you deserve… for a small fraction of what it would cost you at home. Because if you know where to look, you can make your dreams a reality for pennies on the dollar. And, at the same time, you can protect your portfolio and position yourself for gains… all outside the U.S. We’ll Get You There First… So You Can Position Yourself Well for Future Gains Your timing is right today. Because the destinations we’ll introduce you to have yet to be “discovered.” Not because they’re undesirable, mind you. But because the masses simply haven’t caught onto them yet. They will… Just as they did in places like San Miguel de Allende, Mexico… San Jose, Costa Rica… and Ambergris Caye, Belize… to name just three we introduced our readers to decades ago. The folks with an early foothold in these up-and-coming “Pockets of Prosperity” will stand to gain the most. We’d like to be sure you’re among them. Not only can you protect your own retirement dreams… but you can, at the same time, position yourself nicely to profit from the appreciation that inevitably accompanies a destination’s “discovery.” This October, you’ll learn about places like…
Practical, How-to Guidance to Plus besides our destination picks, we'll hand you the how-to guidance you need to take smart advantage of the best opportunities overseas right now, like…
Get the Inside Scoop on the World’s Best Destinations from the People Who Know them Firsthand At this year’s Live & Invest Overseas Conference, we’ll show you how you can take advantage of the best opportunities the world has to offer. We’ll show you the smartest ways to preserve — and improve — your lifestyle, your portfolio, your future… Over three power-packed days, you’ll pick up more on-the-ground intelligence than you ever could in a year spent researching on your own. That’s because — in one place — you’ll hear from not only “institutional experts” like investment advisers, real estate agents, and well-respected authorities on taxation, privacy, currencies, and international law… But we’ll also have on hand our own editorial staff and friends from overseas, who will all be flying in from points around the globe. And that means you’ll be getting the straight scoop from folks already doing what you’re considering. And doing it now. In real time. They’re investing their nest eggs in other countries, running businesses, building homes, enjoying luxurious (and affordable) retirements in gorgeous destinations the world over… and more. To put it plainly: They’re not just living well… but they’re living with the good feeling that their security isn’t dependent on an economic rally back home. This fall, they’re going to show you how they did it. And how you can follow in their footsteps.
You’ll hear from IL’s publisher, Dan Prescher — who, based in Mexico these days, has also lived in Ecuador, Panama, and Nicaragua. He and his wife, Suzan Haskins, headed south after too many cold winters in Omaha, Nebraska. Today, they’re our down-to-earth and practical-minded eyes and ears on the ground in Latin America. Dan will bring with him to Long Beach a global perspective and talk about the countries around the world you should be paying most attention to… and why. He’ll help you distinguish our top picks from one from another on a “macro” level, highlighting the best opportunities each has to offer. And then we’ll take some time to focus more closely on each… Suzan, who oversees our Latin American publications, will show you several choice spots south of the border that nobody else is talking about yet…
Like a genteel Colonial city, for instance, where arched doorways beckon you in. Here the people are warm, the medical care is excellent (and affordable), and the weather is always warm. A full-time housekeeper will cost you $100 a week and a full meal at a local spot will set you back just $4. You’ll hear, too, from Lee Harrison. For many years, he was our Ecuador correspondent. Now, based in Uruguay, he spends part of his time at the beach resort of Punta del Este, part of his time in Montevideo, and the balance roaming Latin America in search of the best retirement destinations and property buys. Lee will bring you his best picks this October… including, for instance, a secret hot spot where the beaches are dazzling white and the tropical ocean waters are 80 degrees year-round. It looks distinctly Caribbean, though it’s not. Here you can dine extravagantly for a song in wonderful waterfront restaurants… and a two-bedroom apartment right in the thick of things costs only about $150,000…
Also with us in Long Beach will be many more names you’ll recognize from our Daily Postcards and monthly print issue: Steenie Harvey and Leigh Fergus, our European Correspondents, will join us to talk about the destinations on the other side of the pond where they believe your energies are best spent. They’ll bring you the places where you’ll find the best quality of life, property bargains, and good-value investments.
You’ll hear about Italy, Morocco, and other destinations they love… and learn, for instance, about a spot where you can enjoy year-round sunshine and a warm, dry climate as well as affordable housing, stunning landscapes, extensive coastline — more than 2,000 miles long — and a low cost of living. And all of it just a two-hour ferry ride from Spain. Or how about a little stretch of Ionian shore where you can own a new apartment a five-minute walk from the beach (600 square feet with a veranda, two bedrooms, and a roof terrace with sea views) for $192,000… use it when you like. And then defray some of your costs as an apartment like this can rent for as much as $1,500 per week in July and August and up to $1,100 in other summer months. Naturally, we’ll have on hand Jessica Ramesch, editor of Panama Insider, who will tell you about why Panama always earns such high marks as one of the world’s top destination for retirees.
She’ll give you the full rundown on the special program designed to entice them, which offers such perks as 50% off closing costs for home loans… 20% off medical consultations… 15% off dental and eye exams… 25% off airfare… and more… Plus, naturally, she’ll point you to the very best opportunities in country for living — city picks, beachfront havens, and mountain retreats. Like an intensely traditional town where you can buy a rural home for $40,000… a colonial quarter where property values have gone up by 100% thanks to the revitalization… a mountain destination where you'll be equidistant from the capital city and the country's best-known beaches… and much more… And Glynna Prentice, Editor of Mexico Insider, will join us, too, to bring you the straight story about the best opportunities for living, retiring, and investing you’ll find in her adopted country. She’ll tell you about how to best take advantage of the considerable savings waiting for you on medical treatments, for instance. Hip replacement? Stateside it would be $43,000 to $63,000. In Mexico, $12,000. Cataract surgery? $5,000 to $6,000 per eye up north. In Mexico, $1,600 to $1,800.
And, of course, Glynna will share her favorite spots for pampered, good-value living… some inland, some coastal… and the places where she sees the most profit potential, too. Without question, you’ll come away from this program in October with a firm understanding about the places in the world today where you can most easily and affordably improve your lifestyle… protect your wealth… and even turn a profit. Practical, Real-World Solutions to Save You Time,
Of course, knowing where you should head — whether you’re planning a full-time move or a part-time hideaway — is only the first step in securing your own dream retirement. This program in October is designed to walk you through the whole process. To make it transparent and even, believe it or not, fun… So we’ll spend lots of time focusing on the practical solutions you need to make your overseas dreams a reality quickly and easily. We’ll talk about…
You could, no doubt, figure this stuff out on your own. But it’s the sort of thing that’ll suck hours of your life, drive you positively nuts, and potentially cost you hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars in unnecessary mistakes. In October, we’ll spare you all of that and simply hand you the know-how (and contacts) we’ve gathered in our many decades of experience living, working, traveling, and investing all over the world. We’ll have on hand attorneys from most of the countries we introduce you to, for example — which means you’ll have easy access to the experts who know the residency, banking, and property-buying processes inside and out. It means that instead of flailing around, hoping you’re asking the right questions, you’ll know exactly who to turn to. Resources that are reliable, well-respected, and ready to show you exactly what you need to do to make your dreams come true… quickly and easily. Their advice is designed to save you time, hassle, and — quite often — lots of money, too. It’ll mean you can be off-and-running in the right direction fast and with confidence. We’ve had people come up to us in years past at the end of this annual event and tell us that it would have been well worth the price for this kind of intelligence alone… Where — and How — to Find Real Estate Profits But there’s actually much more to this event that I haven’t even mentioned yet. For starters — now I’m sure you know this, but I want to be sure we’re clear here up front — investing in real estate overseas is different from investing at home. The specifics differ from country to country — and often from region to region within a country. So the process can be confusing and intimidating. And for lots of folks, that’s enough to deter them. But it shouldn’t deter you. This October, we’ll lay it all out for you in simple, easy-to-understand terms. So you’ll be in a position to take action fast and with confidence.
Because often it’s simply the people who act first who stand to gain the most. And we want to put you in their company. We’ll tell you…
Plus, naturally, we’ll talk about the specific “Pockets of Prosperity” around the world where you can position yourself — and your portfolio — for the most significant gains right now. The places where you can hedge wisely against a sour economy at home. Ronan McMahon, Executive Director of Pathfinder — along with other savvy global real estate investors and developers — will share with you their experiences and their picks, like…
Protect Your Personal Privacy and Financial Freedom…
Have you ever wondered why — even in a real economic downturn — the very wealthiest people effortlessly maintain their quality-of-life… and even grow their wealth? Often, that’s because they pay well-informed advisers to show them how to do it. I’m pleased to report: Those are the very advisers we’ve invited to speak with you in October. Folks like… Bob Bauman, Legal Council to International Living, Editor of The Sovereign Society A-Letter, and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives… Kristin Kuchem, Assistant Vice President of EverBank World Markets … Richard Luchsinger, Associate Director of Sovereign International Asset Management, Inc…. …and many, many others as well. You see, you don’t have to have tens of millions in the bank to take advantage of the same international structures the very wealthy rely on to minimize their taxes, protect their wealth and privacy, and boost their disposable income. You can do it, too. It’s simply a matter of using a strategy that looks
beyond Because that’s where you’ll find the security the very wealthy enjoy. The security that allows you to live well… with confidence… no matter what the economy is up to here at home. That’s why, this October, we won’t just talk about living overseas and direct investment overseas… but also other ways you can navigate and benefit from the “offshore” world. We will give you what amounts to a primer. A no-nonsense, plain-English explanation of what it means to “go offshore,” the benefits, the pitfalls, and the questions you’ll want to ask to determine what makes the best sense for you. You’ll find out…
A Chance to Ask Questions of the People Throughout this event, you’ll not only benefit from each speaker’s formal presentations, but you’ll also have a chance to rub elbows with them in an informal way, too. To be honest, that’s one of the real benefits of our live events. They aren’t stuffy. Our speakers don’t swoop in, grip the podium for an hour, and then retreat to a “green room.” Instead, they’re friendly. Eager to share their insights. And incredibly accessible. That’s our trademark. So beyond the formal sessions and many small-group workshops we have on the agenda, you can always chat with our speakers at breaks, at the bar, or at dinner.
You’ll have plenty of time to pick their brains about everything from renovating a home… to shopping for groceries… from wealth-protection strategies to finding quality medical care… from real estate rules in Panama or Mexico to getting young kids educated in a foreign land. This year’s program is, arguably, the most important one we’ve hosted in the last decade. Because, let’s face it: the world is changing. And changing fast. A strategy that might have made sense last year probably doesn’t any longer. But you’ll come away from this year’s Live & Invest Overseas Conference in Long Beach in October with what amounts to a real-time template for your own dream retirement… a road map to help you guarantee your own comfort and prosperity… no matter what the economy back home does.
The Smartest, Most Efficient, and Most Cost-Effective Way
Our only Stateside event of the year, this Live & Invest Overseas Conference is the best, most efficient, and most cost-effective way there is to secure the long-term comfort… and wealth you deserve. If you’re ready to put those recession worries behind you and turn your retirement dreams into reality… then I encourage you to join us in Long Beach this October to find out in person how easy, economical, and enjoyable it can be to live and invest overseas. We could reasonably charge anywhere from $1,100 to $2,000 for this event. That’s what you’d typically pay for a three-day program of this caliber. And it would certainly be worth every penny. I mean, just one good idea on one day could easily return to you twice that much. But we want this event to be as accessible as possible, so we’re making it easier than ever for you to claim your seat. We’re charging just $695 this year when you sign on before August 8 ($895 after that). And your guest is welcome to attend for just $495 ($695 after August 8).
Plus, if you’re an International Living Subscriber or member of our Publisher’s Roundtable, Real Estate Trend Alert or IL’s Lifetime Society, then you can take advantage of additional discounts of up to $200 off. World Club Members attend for free. Oh, and there’s something else we’ve arranged for, too… As soon as you register, we’ll e-mail you a Special Report we’ve just compiled, called Pockets of Prosperity: Six Top Destinations Around the World Where You Can Invest for Profit and Live Well for Less. In it we’ll give you the rundown on our top picks right now… tell you where we think you should put your money in 2008… and give you some ideas to think about before we meet in person this October… It’ll help you focus your energies at the conference itself so you’ll have a sense ahead of time for whom you might want to talk with and the sessions you’ll definitely want to attend. All the How-to Secrets You Need, Your ticket for this event includes not just the formal presentations
and small-group workshops, but also, as I’ve mentioned, plenty of time to
get to know your fellow attendees and our many presenters…
We’ve arranged for a discounted room rate at the Hilton Long Beach. So you can stay right where the conference will be for just $139 a night (for a single or double room). The hotel is right down in the thick of things, so you can easily walk to the shore, museums, and you’ll have plenty of options for dinners out. You can expect comfortable highs of about 75 degrees in October… and an easy, enjoyable trip… This Event is Bound to Sell Out As I’ve said, we’re only hosting this event once this year. And it’s our only U.S.-based program. It’s very likely to sell out. So I encourage you to reserve your place now while you can still take advantage of the Early Bird Discount. Given the economic climate here at home, there’s never been a better time in the last three decades to turn your attention to the many opportunities for good living and profitable investing overseas. It’s the one surefire way there is to protect your quality of life in an era of real uncertainty. You hear all the time about how Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age in ever greater numbers. But what you’re going to hear a lot more of in the months and years to come is how dissatisfied many of them are when they get there… when they realize that their options are limited and require compromise. Nobody wants to endure a lifestyle that’s less comfortable than they’d envisioned for themselves. But the unfortunate truth is that with the economy in the state it’s in… there’s not a lot of sun on the U.S. horizon. Many people are just going to shrug their shoulders and figure that’s the hand they’ve been dealt. But you don’t have to. Better options really do exist. And we’re making it our mission this October to show you what they are, how you can take advantage of them, and the best ways for you to capitalize on the excellent opportunities for living well and investing profitably overseas. (Before everybody else figures it out.) I hope to see you in Long Beach. I look forward to a good chat. To reserve your place now, you call toll-free 1-866-381-8446 and speak to one of our conference team. They can take your order and answer any questions you have.

P.S. When you sign on now, we’ll also send you a second Special Report — also free. It’s called How to Prepare for a Move Overseas. It’s full of all sorts of practical insights that’ll ease your transition and save you time, money, and trouble. Like six international health insurance policies you might consider… the trick to organizing your belongings for shipping… how to set up a global office… and more… You know, people move overseas for different reasons. Each person’s motivation is slightly different, as are their experiences and rewards. But one thing those of us who have done it have in common is that for most of us, our move overseas was the best and most exciting thing we’ve done. It’s enriched our lives, broadened our horizons, and added a whole new dimension to our outlook on living. And it can do the same for you. Join us in Long Beach this fall, and we’ll show you how you can secure a wonderful quality of life and a pampered future… no matter what the U.S. economy does. Call 1-866-381-8446 now to reserve your place or click below now. P.P.S. Have you opened the paper today? You read the headlines these days and it’s nothing but depressing news… food prices up, home prices down, dollar tanking further, inflation on the rise… Wouldn’t it be nice to live with the confidence that you’ll always have the comforts and luxuries you’ve come to enjoy? Wouldn’t you like to know that your finances are secure… no matter how pinched your neighbors may feel? The good news is you can enjoy that security. You can live your own dream retirement. And this October, we’re going to show you how to do it. I hope you’ll join me — and what is really a world-class collection of authorities on International Living and investing — when we gather for this annual Live & Invest Overseas Conference. We’ll show you how to take advantage of the best opportunities on offer around the world. So you can live well… invest profitably… and enjoy genuine prosperity. No matter what the U.S. economy does.

In addition to our top six “Pockets of Prosperity,” we've also found possibilities for profit and prosperity in other countries as well. In each, a unique situation has created a special opportunity. It might not be right for everyone. But we'd be negligent if we didn't at least bring them to your attention. (It might turn out, in fact, that you find there exactly what you’re looking for.)

We’ll cover Nicaragua, Argentina, France, Romania, Costa Rica, Belize, and Morocco... to name just a few.
