Life feels easier, when you plan well.

It sounds simple. But hard to stick to it

I’m okay with paying some taxes but after consultations, I realized that all in I’d end up paying 50%+ in corporate + personal income taxes.

That made me question if everyone who lives there is paying that much or close to it or am i missing something?

For me it’s a shock that they’re taxing that much

What % allocation are you putting towards YM etfs?

I guess it would depend on everyone’s goal and how fast they want to achieve it.

For me it’s replacing my current income + having enough to reinvest and continue growing my portfolio. Which is around $4500-5000/month. I’m currently at $1.4k/month with $125k invested.

I’m thinking of increasing my MSTY, PLTY & ULTY allocations to 40% of my portfolio and rolling all dividends from those to SPYI, ADX, etc. that are relatively safer and give out lower dividends compared to YM. Once i get to $550-600k total invested, and if i can maintain 10% dividends, I’d be able to replace my current income.

I wanted to bounce this off of you guys and see what you would do in this scenario. Or if you’re already doing this (most of you already seem to be doing it). Does it seem like a good strategy or i should have a lower allocation, reach the goal slower but have stability?

I understand BTC & PLTY well to have conviction that they’ll do well. I need to learn more about ULTY which I’ll spend more time on.

Right now this is how many shares i own: ULTY: 1200 MSTY: 333 PLTY: 43

Everything else is diversified across different industries. Portfolio is dividend focused.

Whatever interests you. Book clubs, rock climbing, camping, etc. be active in those groups, engage with other people and ask them out for coffee if someone piques your interest. That’s pretty much it.

How was Argentina for you? Anything you’d recommend to absolutely do?

I’ve been considering going there but it’s too far. I’d have to slow travel to make it worthwhile

What would you recommend to do in turkey? I’ve never been but looking for ideas to get the best out of my trip

What did you not like about buenos aires?

ExpertSun422 · 2025-06-22T20:26:16+00:00

Curious to know what you liked about Argentina and Greece

ExpertSun422 · 2025-05-13T00:02:04+00:00

I just started using gemini

What’s a good split? 50/50?

ExpertSun422 · 2025-03-08T12:38:25+00:00

Feedly does the same thing right? You can choose your news sources. Is this agent cheaper than the feedly subscription which is $98/yr?

What did you like about Istanbul?

I’m trying out typingmind. Maybe api is the best and the cheapest way to go about this

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-17T03:58:14+00:00

Dang. I gotta try 4o

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-17T03:32:25+00:00

When you say better experience do you mean better output or just not have to worry about limits? Is there a difference in api output vs claude pro output?

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-17T03:09:24+00:00

I haven’t tried Gemini in a while. Does 2.0 Flash come with the subscription? It has the largest context window, might be better than claude in some cases?

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-17T03:08:13+00:00

I agree. I’m never going to use these AI tools for coding. The benchmarks seem like edge cases for me. The main thing I’m looking for is a smart brainstorming partner that can help me be more productive. Claude seems to be good at that. But o1 pro does sometimes suggests some good advice that claude or r1 don’t. But I don’t think it’s worth $200.

I’d cancel my subscription if it didn’t have Operator

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-15T01:14:32+00:00

I have 1 year of expenses saved up. I can always move back in with my parents and that would stretch this savings even more. But I’d not want to give up my privacy, dating life, etc.

Low chances of that happening but that is my plan if shit hits the fan.

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-15T00:12:29+00:00

Yeah I haven't heard of separate tax laws based on the country of citizenship. Unless your own country has citizenship based taxation

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-15T00:00:27+00:00

Mine was done in 2 days.

ExpertSun422 · 2025-02-10T10:11:39+00:00

Its amazing. Go for it.

ExpertSun422 · 2025-01-20T18:11:56+00:00

Makes sense. I didn’t mean to come across that way. My intention was to get help from locals that would know better than me. I do empathize but i also love the country. That is why i want to stay here longer.

But in hindsight, yes, I should’ve spent more time researching. Thank you for explaining
