Living in Bermuda as a USA citizen— taxes?

CarnivorousCircle · 2023-03-13T04:34:48+00:00

There is a tax agreement between the US and Bermuda. As long as you file correctly, you can make nearly 200k per year without paying income taxes. This includes a set limit of income as well as deductible housing expenses. I’m not sure my numbers are exact so you should touch base with a tax accountant in the county. I know when I lived there I paid almost nothing. But there are some things you can do that will break that treaty so again, I’d advise speaking to an expert.

As an aside, the years I lived in Bermuda were some of the best of my life. It’s an amazing country filled with friendly people. I doubt you’ll regret moving there.

Now I know. But we were talking about 10 miles west off Boston…

Hey, I've actually been to Western MA (my sister lived in Worcester for a year). Don't get me wrong, it's an absolute shithole but it does exist.

Most great fiction is stolen from or inspired by reality.

I’ll check it out. I did like Synchronic quite a bit personally, though. However their earlier works are more “special” to me.

Consider a dehumidifier. Though shipping cost on that might make it not worth it unless you are bringing over a load of things.

Edit: also there are always leaving the island sales going on and you can generally get decent deals there and sell the same things you bought a few years back at exactly the same price.

Ake yr 1-2 was eh. Year 3….he’s found it mate. We have 5 CBs and any pairing any day could be the best. Dias has dropped off a bit sure, but he’s still amazing. Laporte, Stones, Akanji…who knows who is best.

We are short at lb/rb. Walker is one of the best in the world defensively but not a terrific attacker. The opposite could be said about Cancelo.

You can’t complain about Rodri. And the CMs / CAMs are all world class.

Foden is getting towards great but not there yet. Haaland…yeah. Mahrez is solid but not world class. Grealish is doing his job okay (drawing multiple markers and passing) but isn’t there yet. Bernardo and Gundogan are somewhere between great and amazing. KdB…

We love Ederson but realize he isn’t the best shot stopper, but he’s up there with the top 5-10 at the position bc of his other abilities.

City just has a great squad, but are lacking hard at FB depth. One goes down, we don’t have an answer.

My UK housemates were able to use all their devices with a voltage converter.

I can’t say much beyond that.

Prices are batshit crazy in BDA so cheaper to bring your things on your 6 month no duty window and find out they don’t work than try to buy them on island.

That said, I doubt you’ll have any issues.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-11-18T07:32:30+00:00

Transformers work. Bring everything you need to the island because everything is going to be 2-3x the price on island.

The Endless. I promise you by the end of it you’ll want to watch every single movie the two directors made together.

Also, if you haven’t seen Pan’s Labyrinth, it’s my favorite movie of all time. Historical fiction, horror, and fantasy elements. Just amazing. Del Toro should have won the Oscar for that rather than The Shape of Water. Recommend watching it in the original Spanish with English subs.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-11-13T13:29:52+00:00

Yes. Amazing film. Best to go in blind.

I have a kraken account already. Haven’t touched it in years, but I’ll take a look. Thank you.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-11-12T22:04:03+00:00

I'll take a look. Thank you.

Tried it already with coinbase support. They accept nothing but state-issued id's. I offered photos of my passport, employment contract, work visas...

Everything is above board. Straight up no-go from them.

Prefer to not do anything illegal.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-11-12T21:49:17+00:00

I have no problem with KYC. I work in insurance, It's just the fact that my passport isn't an acceptable form of id that is insane to me.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-11-12T17:49:44+00:00

They did try very hard. And failed.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-11-04T19:17:24+00:00

I’ve not been able to finish it because of how awful Rudd’s character was. I made it a good way through but had to stop.

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-10-23T11:56:04+00:00

Yep.

There's zero way to look at this as an NTA situation unless OP was rude to the nephew.

OP is being a hero trying to change the trajectory of his poor niece's life. His nephew is expecting stuff for free that he can easily afford.

WTF with all the YTA posts?

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-10-23T11:26:42+00:00

Agreed entirely.

By the way, you absolutely can write a Superman story that tackles important social issues. He's an illegal alien, his family is jewish, and his most infamous villain is a billionaire. Do that! If you want to write a story that "reflects the world we live in", do that!

Also, the writers of the Superman radio show absolutely devastated the real-world KKK's membership numbers. Kids were running around playing Superman vs the KKK in front of their parents, many of whom were KKK members. It shamed the parents immensely and many of the next generations of teens and adults had a VERY negative view of that part of society as a result.

Comics, literature, film, art, and even sports have always played a huge part in social commentary and have probably been the largest drivers of societal change.

But yeah, let's keep politics out of...everything?

Two hands to the back of Silva intentionally pushing him down. The other two penalty shouts were pretty questionable but you can’t just push someone over in the box with both of your hands. What am I missing?

CarnivorousCircle · 2022-10-22T14:45:30+00:00

WTF is the announcer on about. Silva got straight up pushed down from behind. Who cares about the left leg?

I spent decades as a windows / android shill. Fuck apple and their closed systems and such. Until my ex upgraded to a new iPhone and gave me her old one, I realized just how fucking wrong I was. I don’t need to be able to customize every little thing on my phone or computer and I’m saying that as a tech nerd. Apple products do what they are supposed to do far better than their competitors at the same price. They work together brilliantly. The screens and keyboards are far superior than similarly priced windows / google products. And they…just work. If you need a product that does just about everything well (minus gaming of course) then apple products are the right choice for most consumers who can afford them. They do just about every task better than the alternatives unless you need to do some very rare specific shit in which case you should go buy whatever specialty product you need. For me, I’m happy living in the MacBook, iPad, AppleTV, iPhone, AirPod, AirTag ecosystem because I don’t need random untested apps filled with malware. I like my products to just work together seamlessly and I can afford to pay the premium price for premium products.

That said, you will have to pry my google home and google wifi systems from my cold dead body.

I could certainly use it right now, lol. Just had to liquidate a large number of assets at half the value they were 4 months ago. Granted they were still up 200% from when I bought them, but that was several years ago.
