“She said I needed a visa to see her. I sent her my Mastercard—now my bank’s calling me about $800 worth of scented candles.”

It’s tax season, and some bros are wondering: “How do I teach English and STILL pay $0 in taxes?”

Quick hits:

Stack ’em – Teach in low‑tax Asia, layer FEIE on top, and your bill still rounds to zero.

Which lane are you grabbing?
