Yeah prices are silly if you aren’t from North America.

Dubai probably still the best deal since it’s 0% and you can establish tax residency within 3 months, then travel the rest of the year (that’s what I do).

Learn something / be great at something people are willing to pay for.

Otherwise, If you have great work ethic (willing to hustle 50/60hrs a week for 2-4 years), then offer a simple service (e.g., cold outreach, podcast placements, whatever else can be standardized with SOPs) until you reach $10k monthly profit. Then parlay that into higher margin businesses like software.

I do freelance as a product manager and run multiple blogs

$17-$20k per month. Mostly slowmading :)

Nowhere really. It’s safe everywhere. Maybe Cambodia but even that country is quite tame
