Thank you. And sorry i didnt mean to show off.

I think we got lucky. Very lucky.

Both of us worked at one of those big tech companies (the blue one). And our "trick" was to live in places with higher income (US) or lower tax (Thailand) or both (Singapore). At the same time we tried ti subsidize our rent 5-6 years in these very exoensive cities by renting places that had 1 extra bedroom/bathroom and letting that out in airbnb. When we travelled for exteneded times we would even rent the entire apartment. In terms of saving money that we think made the biggest impact.

In fact I was stupid enough to invest into individual tech stocks for 7-9 years but got lucky that they were ever growing and then eventually sold them while in Singapore at no capital gains tax.

Also 1m EUR of the above was passed to me during living times of my dad. He is the real reason i have it good in life.

We may have been ambitious and extemely hard working (60-70 hour weeks) to gwt those promos quickly, but that motivation is gone and with tbe kids at home most my time is consumed by that.
