You can spend more in good years just make sure majority of your costs are variable vs. fixed

Most buy stuff they can't retain forever (McMansions etc.)

When the down year comes, if your costs are variable you just stop eating out for a few months. No biggie.

@sspencer_smb @MarkLevineNYC exactly, their CEOs aren't as controversial

People with autism & ADHD age late. We do things late. Our frontal lobe doesn’t develop until our mid 30s in many cases (as opposed to the neurotypical norm of age 25). We also have baby faces & childlike mannerisms for life while somehow possessing the wisdom of an ancient sage.

Major pitfall of making it is the loss of dopamine/adrenaline. Its real easy to chase with big investment bets etc. Just leads to losses

The right way to tackle it is to learn a new small business to run, higher expected return + cognitive load is high.

You can take a quarter million dollars from American banks, move to Bali, and live like a king for 3 years on $4,000 a month while the banks send you angry letters to an address you don't live at anymore

And the craziest part? Not a single thing about this is a criminal offense

$250K liquidated from 0% business credit cards through Melio and Plastiq into your business checking account. Processing fees: about $7,125 at 2.85%. Now you have $242,875 in cash sitting in your bank

Average cost of living in Bali for a baller lifestyle (private villa, scooter, eating out every meal, coworking space, weekend trips to other islands): $3,500 to $4,500/month. Call it $4,000

$242,875 / $4,000 = 60 months. 5 years of living in paradise on bank money

"They'll come after you"

Here's what they can actually do:

They can call you. Your US phone number is cancelled. You have a local Indonesian SIM card. Good luck

They can mail you. To the US address on file. You moved 9,000 miles away. The letters pile up in a mailbox nobody checks

They can report to credit bureaus. Yes. Your US credit score gets destroyed. But you're living in a country where nobody checks a FICO score. Indonesian landlords don't pull Equifax. The villa owner wants cash

They can sue you. In a US court. For a civil judgment on unsecured credit card debt. If you don't show up (because you're in Bali), they get a default judgment. That judgment lets them garnish US wages (you have none) and levy US bank accounts (you moved your money to a Wise or Mercury account that you access internationally)

They cannot have you arrested. Not paying a credit card is not a crime. It's a civil debt. There is no international arrest warrant for credit card default. Interpol does not care about your Chase Ink bill. The US embassy in Bali does not care. Nobody cares

After 7 years from the date of first delinquency, every account falls off your credit report automatically per the FCRA. You come back to the US with a clean file. Rebuild your score in 90 days with the authorized user strategy. Stack another round of business credit. The banks have no memory. Their systems only look back 7 years

"But the personal guarantee"

Business credit cards with a personal guarantee make you personally liable for the debt. That means they can pursue you personally in civil court. But the judgment is still civil. Still not criminal. And enforcement of a US civil judgment in Indonesia is... let's just say it's not something that happens. Indonesia does not have a treaty with the United States for enforcement of civil money judgments. The collector would have to re-litigate the entire case in Indonesian court. For a $250K credit card bill. They will never do this

Here's what people are actually doing:

The digital nomads who figured this out aren't even running from debt. They're running profitable online businesses from Bali while the 0% promo runs out, cycling to new cards remotely (you can apply for US business credit cards with a US address and US SSN from anywhere on earth), and paying off the old cards with business revenue. The ones who can't make the business work just... don't pay. And life goes on

A guy I know moved to Lisbon in 2023 with $180K in 0% business credit. Lived on $3,800/month for 18 months while building a marketing agency. Agency hit $22K/month by month 14. Paid every card off from revenue. Never missed the US once. Still lives in Lisbon. Still uses the same credit cards. Still at 0% on his current cycle

He didn't need to default. But he had the option. And knowing the option existed let him take the risk. The mental math changes completely when you understand that the worst case scenario for $250K in credit card debt is "my credit score sucks for a few years and I settle for pennies"

People mortgage their lives around a number on a credit report. They stay in jobs they hate. They live in cities they can't afford. They say no to opportunities because "what if I can't make the payment." Meanwhile the bank that issued the card has already priced your default into their quarterly earnings. They don't care if you pay. They've already hedged it

The bank made a bet. They bet you'd carry a balance and pay 24% interest for a decade. You took their money and moved to Bali. One of you is going to lose that bet

Am I telling you to flee the country with $250K? No. I'm telling you the actual legal consequences of credit card default, which are dramatically less severe than what most Americans have been led to believe. And I'm telling you that understanding those consequences changes how you evaluate risk, opportunity, and what you're willing to do with a 12-month window of free capital

every financial decision you've ever made was based on a fear that doesn't match the legal reality. that fear is profitable for banks. it's expensive for you

do with this information what you will

(we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. where you take the money is your business. link in bio)
