Working Remotely

Your office can be anywhere. Your paycheck can be American. In 2020, David Stephen Slaton was living off his savings when he rode a motorcycle into the mountains of Oaxaca and found villages full of mansions, built by carpenters and bricklayers who worked in the United States. The lesson: where your paycheck comes from changes everything. Within days of setting himself up properly, his pay went from $10 an hour to $20 an hour plus commission.
