Geo-Arbitrage is a term I first came across in Timothy Ferriss’s excellent book the

4 hour work week.

There are 2 main applications

1 If you can charge in dollars for a job lets say $15 and get someone (usually a VA or virtual assistant in another location) to do the job for $5

you have just created an arbitrage ( money out of thin air).

2 If you are being paid in dollars and live in America and your cost of living ( rent, food etc ) is

$100) per month. It is possible to live in a country such as Thailand, Argentina etc where it will only cost you $500 per month for the same standard of living.

Where would you like to spend some time where the cost of living is lower than where you are.
