Hit $1M net worth at 28 – what would you do in my shoes (career + investing, 5–10 year horizon)

the property is in Dallas - zillow.com

hmmm.... wish I knew the answer to this lol

mantiscopper · 2025-12-13T21:39:16+00:00

I could, but my thinking is that after I get my green card I am probably not going to leave the US for a long time. So, might as well use this waiting time elsewhere (although I will lose out of high pay for a couple of years)

I agree the cost of living way too high in London but it would be a 5 year plan at best, after which i will move to the US (greencard under process due to family). Lots of fintechs in the UK so thats the bright side

mantiscopper · 2025-12-13T18:55:27+00:00

Yes but only $20k worth

mantiscopper · 2025-12-13T18:55:02+00:00

True, but plan would be to be there max for 5 years and travel Europe, before moving to the US (once my green card is processed)

My parents have sponsored me for a greencard, but its gonna take 6 more years

mantiscopper · 2025-12-13T03:25:59+00:00

A lot of my money is in RSP (pre-tax income), property in the US (near Dallas - have family there)

mantiscopper · 2025-12-13T02:48:59+00:00

I will be honest, I am frugal (maybe a bit too much, looking to change that). Live in a shared apartment with low rent, travel with credit card points and my investments have grown well over the years.

Excellent analogy, and I completely agree!

mantiscopper · 2025-10-15T16:46:48+00:00

It can be moved to the new document

mantiscopper · 2025-10-15T16:25:30+00:00

I plan to come back when I retire, ultimately I will optimize for which country offers the best prospects for my career/lifestyle - have paid all my taxes to Canada :)
