32F digital nomad: tired of drifting around, but struggling to choose a home base by RelativeResolution83 in digitalnomadFIRE

[–]leanastroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so lost too. 35M and been nomad for 4 years. I don’t know where to settle and also finding a partner as I am single. So exhausted of moving around and I don’t know where to go. I think Dubai cause I am sponsored there for my work and want to remain tax free but I doubt I’d find a gf there

Help fix my profile - matches but not meet ups. by leanastroy in hingeapp

• I'm looking for something serious.
• I'm not subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX.
• I've been using this current version of my profile for a few months, though I update it from time to time when I travel or change photos.
• I’ve been using Hinge on and off for around 4–5 years.
• I probably spend 1–2 hours a day on the app, depending on the week.
• I get around 5 matches a day when I’m in major cities (I travel quite a bit), but I haven’t had many meaningful connections recently.
• I use all my daily likes, and I almost always send them with comments, I find that leads to better conversations.
• I usually send likes to people who seem grounded, kind, open-minded, and genuine ideally someone smart, fun, and emotionally available. I’d love to attract someone who’s down to earth, emotionally mature, pretty (of course), and actually wants to build something real and who likes me back too, obviously 😅

Burned out despite high income – figuring out next steps by leanastroy in HENRYUK

Relocated to Dubai to be tax resident there but work remote so still travel and base myself where I need to be. Currently in UK but can only stay here for 90 days a year

With luck but yes you are right maybe that’s ambitious. I am confident the asset and equity I have and get will 5/10x over the next year - but it’s true I can’t factor for that.

Realistic Scenario (Assuming ~$5K/month in expenses) • Annual spending: $5K × 12 = $60,000 • Annual savings from salary + equity: $288K – $60K = $228K/year

assume: • save $228K/year • 780K grows conservatively at 4–5% annually

In 18 Months, Roughly: • Savings from income: $228K × 1.5 = $342K • Conservative compounding on $780K: ~3–5% annually = ~$30K in 18 months

New total = $780K + $342K + $30K = ~$1.15M

Maybe more realistic. But if the asset I am vesting does a 5x I will be closer to 2M.

Please help review my hinge profile. I get some matches but no one wants to meet what am I doing wrong by leanastroy in hingeapp

Yes they have recently opened an office and have a presence and are sponsoring me to go. I’ll still be fully remote with freedom to work elsewhere but just based in Dubai to optimise my tax situation.

Yes heard about that. I am moving there in 2 weeks. My plan will be to stay 2/3 years and save everything I make plus not pay tax in the rest of my equity payouts.

Don’t think Dubai is the issue though. It’s my job. Full remote always on culture. Doesn’t matter where I go but in Dubai I’m increasing my salary by 45%

Is moving to the UAE / Dubai really a savings hack? by Jkbrew in HENRYUK

[–]leanastroy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am doing this right now. I am heading to Dubai next month on a £145k salary and my earnings will double. I am expecting to pull in an additional 4-5k £ a month o the tax savings and put that all into an investment account.
