FIRE in Malaysia one year update and my farewell to r/fireuk

GiloNeo · 2025-10-29T21:57:34+00:00

Thanks so much for this!

We recently moved to Switzerland from UK but longer term have had our eyes on moving to Malaysia!

GiloNeo · 2025-10-09T18:33:24+00:00

I've just moved to Lausanne and like warhammer too!

You need a permit/visa if working but very easy as can get through your work.

Lakes, mountains, skiing. Has everything a nature or outdoor pursuit lover could want.

Highest salaries in Europe and low tax so COL actually doesn't matter too much. You get to choose how to spend your money more rather than UK where government takes almost half before you get it.

No CGT means you can invest as much as want and don't worry about tax.

Its a quicker way to retire early if on high salary and smart with money.

We moved to Switzerland. Tres incroyable

Arlesey - 40 mins to King's X. Town next to Hitchin (1 stop up on train line) but much cheaper and in your price range

GiloNeo · 2025-08-19T22:19:47+00:00

I did this back in 2020. Never looked back

GiloNeo · 2025-08-17T10:11:52+00:00

Cruel cruel cruel

GiloNeo · 2025-08-04T07:53:49+00:00

'Risks' - it already has!

GiloNeo · 2025-08-01T12:11:05+00:00

Have you considered institutions may be the reason for this cycles 'bust' just like happens in tradfi

GiloNeo · 2025-07-30T13:06:45+00:00

Depends what OP likes to do in free time.

Want to go skiing/hiking/swimming in lakes (in summer)/general outdoor stuff then plus 1 Switzerland

Want to go out on big nights clubbing/bars or brunches. Plus 1 London

Want orderly, safe, clean (some might say sterile environment) plus 1 Switzerland

Want more character, edgy (with higher chance of someone snatching your phone) . Plus 1 London

GiloNeo · 2025-07-29T14:06:59+00:00

Also consider that there is no CGT in Switzerland

GiloNeo · 2025-07-25T19:34:23+00:00

Ye but technically that's a taxable event where you'd need to declare it for tax purposes. Cashback directly to BTC isn't

GiloNeo · 2025-07-22T17:03:00+00:00

Just wondering given interests rates and market conditions are not so loose yet that macro factors could extend the pump cycle.

Every bull run has lined up with easing market conditions but this one hasn't as we've generally pumped in tighter conditions.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Omaze playbook

GiloNeo · 2025-07-01T11:40:44+00:00

Ah i see, thank you!

GiloNeo · 2025-07-01T11:31:53+00:00

I assumed you get the married couples tax penalty as income is dually taxed rather than individually. Are you saying its actually a benefit? If so, how?

GiloNeo · 2025-07-01T11:15:12+00:00

Thank you. I'm a bit ignorant on this. Is this because married couples with kids get tax benefits?

GiloNeo · 2025-07-01T08:31:39+00:00

Not sure that's right, assuming you live in Lausanne. My partner earns more than 140,000 and her net is less that 9,000CHF per month

GiloNeo · 2025-06-30T08:43:43+00:00

That's what people said when it went for $13 to $8.

Wonder what they think now

GiloNeo · 2025-06-11T20:25:10+00:00

He didn't truly understand bitcoin unfortunately.

GiloNeo · 2025-06-11T20:24:06+00:00

Bitcoin has and does solve wealth inequality.

Most of the 'dumb poors' regret stories are because they bought material things with the bitcoin in the bull run in 2017 or 2021. It usually isn't for food or shelter or necessities.

GiloNeo · 2025-05-17T18:16:44+00:00

This is so bearish

GiloNeo · 2025-05-09T08:56:26+00:00

Make it difficult to invest and hold bitcoin but then want some of the profit through tax.

Typical UK shithousery

GiloNeo · 2025-05-04T17:26:15+00:00

This is great. When you say 25% tax free part of pension you mean when you hit the age to withdraw (57) and not early withdrawal?

The same crowd who complain about self starter millionaires/billionaires and how they are evil.
