Wonder how far $75K US would go in Bermuda? Otherwise, why work remotely? Except for this ...

 

I was once sent to do some work in Bermuda. My meal and incidental expenses were based on the U.S. government per diem. At most sites, I could eat cheap and turn a profit on the per diem, which, depending on the location, was about $70 a day.

The per diem rate in Bermuda was $180. I spent every bit of it every day.

That said, it is a fascinating a beautiful place.
