Meine Kunden kommen fast alle aus Deutschland, obwohl ich mich schon vor 48 Jahren auf eine lange Abenteuerreise begeben habe.

So hat alles angefangen:

Am 1.8.1966 begann ich meine Ausbildung, 1969 mein berufsbegleitendes Studium im Öffentlichen Recht und Steuerrecht.

Seit dem 1.8.1971 bin ich selbständig und als Spezialist für vermeintlich unlösbare Probleme von Unternehmern tätig.

Im Oktober 1977 bin ich nach Griechenland umgezogen und habe von dort aus mit einer Reiseschreibmaschine und einem Bakelit-Telefon gearbeitet. Alle paar Monate fuhr oder flog ich zu meinen Mandanten nach Deutschland. Griechenland interessierte sich damals nicht für Steuern.

Bis 2008 habe ich mit Unterbrechungen die meiste Zeit in Griechenland verbracht. Von 1995 bis 2000 hatte ich meinen steuerlichen Wohnsitz in Belgien und seit 2001 in Paraguay.

Von 2000 bis 2011 hatte ich einen weiteren steuerfreien Wohnsitz auf Mallorca. Seit 2011 lebe ich das ganze Jahr über nur noch in Paraguay.

Mein eigenes Haus habe ich erst mit 62 Jahren gebaut, als ich es bar bezahlen konnte. Hätte ich es früher gebaut, wäre das nur mit einer Bankfinanzierung möglich gewesen. Dann wäre ich an einen Ort gebunden gewesen und hätte mich einschränken müssen. Das wollte ich nicht.

Mein Leben lang habe ich das Angenehme mit dem Nützlichen verbunden. Seit 2014 war ich nicht mehr in Europa. Viele meiner Kunden kommen nach Paraguay, um sich von mir unter vier Augen beraten zu lassen, etwa 200 Investoren und Unternehmer pro Jahr.

Mit den meisten Kunden funktioniert das aber auch wunderbar online oder per Telefon.

Panic Mode: Axios Insists ‘There Is No Recession’ & ‘Economy in Good Shape’

Liberal outlet ruthlessly mocked for shamelessly running cover for Biden’s failed ‘Bidenomics’ policies.

Liberal news outlet Axios was ruthlessly mocked on social media after asserting that “there is no recession” in America because the “economy is in good shape.”

In a Thursday article titled, “More than half of Americans think the U.S. is in a recession. It’s not.“, Axios made the case that the American economy is in “good shape” despite data points suggesting the opposite.

“The economy is actually in good shape and there’s no recession. But misperceptions like this are a huge political challenge for President Biden and an advantage for former President Trump as they vie for second terms,” the outlet reported.

56% of Americans think the U.S. is currently in a recession — and that Biden is responsible for a worsening economy.

The outlet went on to claim that everything is hunky dory because the economy grew by 1.4% (as measured by GDP) so far 2024 and the stock market is up on the year, but Americans remain pessimistic about the economy due to inflation and the rising cost of living.

It looks like inflation and the higher cost of living — indicators not typically part of the recession call by the NBER — could be shaping Americans’ views.

70% of Americans said that cost of living is their biggest economic concern, followed by inflation at 68%.

Two-thirds of Americans, including 65% of Democrats, report it’s difficult to be happy about positive economic news when they feel financially squeezed each month.

While the rate of inflation has slowed since its 2022 highs, it is still higher than most Americans are used to — and prices are up a great deal from 2019.

But there are other underlying reasons behind Americans’ sour view of the economy under Biden that Axios failed to mention.

Household net worth remained stagnant during Biden’s term when adjusted for inflation, growing by only 0.07% compared to 16% during Trump’s first 3 years.

Wow. This is brutal…

Part of that could be because households are spending an extra $11,400 annually to afford basic necessities due to inflation.

For example, grocery costs are up an average of 25% since 2019 and credit card debt hit a record high this month, surpassing the previous high of $1.13 trillion.

Axios’ gaslighting attempt was roundly mocked on X.

Is the good economy in the room with us now?

A record number of restaurants is closing this year because the economy is too strong?

— Salty Cracker (@SaltyCracker9) May 23, 2024

I must have misread the grocery bill… every single week. But the “journalists” said it’s okay. Maybe I need new overpriced glasses.

That’s called an economic slowdown. pic.twitter.com/H8Aaf7YV93

From your article, “Two-thirds of Americans, including 65% of Democrats, report it’s difficult to be happy about positive economic news when they feel financially squeezed each month.”
The term recession is irrelevant if we are financially underwater. Spin that however you…

No amount of MSM gaslighting is going to convince Americans that their bank account is in good shape.

No lie is too big.

Sit down, shut up and give homage to your dear leaders.

Axios is now a comedy blog.

Lol. Axios saying there is no recession for people that everything costs triple of what it was. Clown show at Axios

In case you missed it – with interest rates as high as they are, the government has to spend an additional one trillion every 100 days to cover that. And since tax revenues won’t cover that, they have to print money. And when they print money inflation continues to rise.…

I’m sorry but whose “economy” are you taking about? DC elites? Hollyweird elites? Because surely you’re not telling EVERYDAY AMERICANS that we’re richer than ever.
