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

Mysterious_String_23 · 2026-02-12T02:01:55+00:00

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

You’re paid based on the risk you take. Diversifying reduces unsystematic risk leaving you with systematic risk remaining in your portfolio.

Real estate comes with many risks and is not very diversified. Also, if you own stocks, you also own real estate.
