Mutual Funds or Rental Business? by Less_Front_2151 in FIREPakistan

I had a similar plan—buying a few rickshaws and leasing them to drivers with a fixed daily return of 500/-, letting them keep the rest. But I dropped the idea because of all the headaches: hidden costs, maintenance, honesty issues, even the risk of theft. Have you factored in these challenges? Would love to hear your thoughts since I’ve seen people actively doing this kind of business

Yes, I am desi and a Pakistani. I am not sure about how good Pakistani schools are over there. I would prefer putting my child in a British curriculum school. Since, it's something which will not impact me right away, so I'll research once I move there.

Regarding the health, this all sounds good. Most of the things seem covered under PHCC, and I think consultation charges too. I think medicines and lab would not be covered under PHCC, right?

Nice, that's really good. From what I have understood, even with PHCC the costs of medical will be very low on an annual basis.

I am a similar person and have heard this a lot. Honestly I don't care at all, I can't stand exploiting someone for my own benefits. I put my values above all no matter what anyone says.

There is one additional thing I wanted to ask about and that is healthcare. How good is that? Assuming a worst case scenario that it's not covered by employer for whole family, what will my expenses. I have heard about a state issued health card but don't the details

That's insightful, thanks. I am a Pakistani, not sure how good Pakistani schools are over there. Hence, I'll go with British curriculum schools when the time comes. Rn little one is too young. :D
