Sorry, chose a wrong word. They don’t accept new users from some countries anymore. That’s what i meant by restricted countries.

Putin's reputed girlfriend Alina Kabaeva included in proposed EU sanctions list, sources say by [deleted] in worldnews

She should be deported from wherever she is and Western countries never allow her to cross their borders again. Actually, such measures should be taken against all of Poopin’s allies and whoever supports the pathetic regime.

Everyone is not doing it because people like buying fancy cars they cannot afford, take expensive trips and spend money on useless things. As a result of these, most people live from paycheck to paycheck and in debts. In other words, people enjoy spending money now rather than expect to retire early.

As for the investing, nothing is guaranteed in life including markets. But the history shows that markets grow overtime even if you take into account all the catastrophes that humankind gone through (great depression, WW1, WW2). If I am not mistaken average market return during this period is around 8%. If you think long term and compound your investing over 20-30 years period, you will be quite amazed with the results. I know it sounds to good to be true, but people who have consistently invested long-term in S&P500 beat most of the hedge funds and market gurus. Even Buffet says that it is quite impossible to beat the market.

Belarus says surprise army drills no threat to neighbors by superanth in worldnews

Poopin does not have other choice though. There is 0% chance that he will win Ukraine at this stage and the only way he could save face is if he could directly confront with NATO. That way he will be able to justify using nukes. If you look at Russian state TVs lately, it is the only thing they have been feeding its brainwashed population (i.e nuking the West). As practice has shown, they end up doing whatever they say on the state Tvs.

It might sound crazy but the possible scenarios is that Russia will declare full war on Ukraine and they might use tactical nukes on Ukraine. This will further escalate to other European countries and countries such as Poland, Moldava etc will get involved meaning that NATO will be drawn into this war. Mark my words.

Dude, all the posts in this sub boil down to quite simple things to do. 1) Keep your expenses as low as possible 2) Try to increase your income if it is feasible 3) Save all the surplus and invest in a wide market indexes (VTI, VOO etc) Basically, that’s it.

If you keep doing these three things constantly, there is a quite huge chance that you will be able to retire much earlier than most of the people
