Geoarbitrage is a fancy term Tim Ferriss popularized. It sounds complex, but it’s meaning is quite simple.

Basically, geoarbitrage is the act of making money in places where everything is expensive, while you’re personally living someplace cheap.

Sounds boring, but stick with me.

In this article you’re about to discover the power of geoarbitrage and how it allows you to stack up piles of cash while living in Asia.

1. “Price Is What You Pay, Value Is What You Get”

There’s a common misconception that low-cost of living equals terrible conditions.

When people hear that you’re able to rent an apartment for $300 – $500 in Vietnam, they imagine a rat infested shithole.

In reality, you’re getting a nice place in a good neighborhood. Plus, you’ll enjoy amenities most Americans don’t have (like daily housekeeping and free laundry service).

In the West, you overpay for low-value goods. Asia is the reverse.

Everything is inexpensive, and you get tons of value from every purchase.

“Big balling” is even reasonable here. Staying at a four star golf resort like the Swiss Belresort costs about $60.

This means you can live in a luxury hotel for less than what the average American spends on rent.

How’s that for value?

2. Geoarbitrage Triples Your Money, For Free

In Vietnam, your money is worth 3.5 times as much as it is back home. This means that $1 has the purchasing power of $3.50. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, until you run the numbers.

Making $100 a day is like earning $350.

Likewise, $30,000 goes as far as $100,000+ in the States.

This is great if you work online.

Freelance writing and information marketing become a gold mine.

It gets to a point where you physically can’t spend all the money you make.

That might sound far-fetched, but it’s true.

Because of this you quickly build up a surplus of cash to reinvest into other ventures.

3. Take Your Extra Cash And “Make Your Money Work For You”

The wealthiest people in the world all create multiple streams of income.

They take money from their business and reinvest it into other assets. This means stocks, real estate, venture capital, or high risk assets (like BitCoin).

Most regular people can’t afford to do this.

In fact, the average American has less than $1,000 saved up.

Luckily, you aren’t average.

Surplus cash makes it easy to start-up new streams of income. This can be anything from investing in the stock market or buying real estate, to something as simple as setting up a niche website.

By having extra money, your options are virtually limitless.
