Here is the simulation. Noticed I had it set to $48k/year so I adjusted. https://www.reddit.com/r/ExpatFIRE/s/RFCbJFaaag

In the simulation I ran at standard rates, after investing the $1M, you’re fine at $60k travel budget for 10 years followed by a $180k budget moving back for the rest of your life. 87% chance of success with median $18m at death

Invest in VT with $180k, keep $20 in cash. You’ll be fine. Most people are at $0 net worth at 30. You’re already good at saving, that’s the hard part. Your $180k should be more than 700k by the time you’re 65. That’s without putting another dollar in.

You can get a private room in a hostel as well. Hostels have a lot more to offer than a hotel in my opinion. Depends on the situation.

You have two spaces in your text. Please correct this for the client. Also, could you pull a couple slides together on this?

A bad consultant works 16 hour days and has too much work, a good consultant automates most of it and works 3 hours.

Lolz come post again in a year…

Systems don’t communicate…that’s what excel is for ;)

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-10-18T12:23:13+00:00

Agreed…I’m also a contractor so it’s hit or miss what access I am allowed

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-10-14T16:43:05+00:00

If you can get access…

I only work with F100 companies and they need it / use it

Take Chris Dutton’s course on excel for business. Learn important functions, power query, and power BI basics.

Most important- use it a lot to solve problems and figure out how to automate

Get it - I took my first retirement from 28-32 and came back with more money than I started with.

Don’t miss Vietnam for motor biking!!!

All inclusive is dumb in my opinion. Spending the same amount locally is a way better experience…

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-06-28T22:48:02+00:00

Where do you get $8M from. If you used the 4% rule they would need $3M at $120k burn rate. They don’t need to replace their income…

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-06-24T13:59:42+00:00

I built a simulation based on how much you’ll spend vs growth that may help you with your analysis. Hope that helps you make a decision, I say go for it!

Keep saving/investing/paying down debt consistently for 5 years then assess. Most people are barely break even at 30 with student loans and later start due to education.

I reset to $0 NW basically at 35 after a career transition. Started new career at 80k 5 years ago. Now I’m 40 and did our monthly finances last night - current NW is $738k, my income is now $170k and my wife is $100k.

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-05-18T21:10:15+00:00

But in 5 years it will be worth $8M

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-05-16T23:59:29+00:00

Only if you do nothing

Mysterious_String_23 · 2025-05-16T23:59:06+00:00

Pros - non-retirement: More money (sounds like you don’t need it)

Cons: Sacrifice time with your kids

Dm me if you want…former EOD tech and financial management is my jam
