🧡 Thread: Most people don’t realize how much taxes slow their life down. I left the West and it felt like I just grabbed the Super Mario star ⭐️ Everything started compounding faster. ⚑️ Here’s why. πŸ‘‡ βΈ» 1️⃣ Europe, Canada, the U.S. They sell you stability, but the trade-off is 40–50% of everything you earn. You grind harder, but the system quietly keeps you broke. That’s not security, that’s a slow bleed. βΈ» 2️⃣ The UAE flips the script. 0% tax. No wealth tax. No capital gains. The same work that barely covered bills back home now scales like crazy. Freedom isn’t a mindset β€” it’s a zip code. βΈ» 3️⃣ Remove the tax drag and everything accelerates. Savings grow. Investments compound. You stop chasing β€œcatch-up.” It’s the same game, just with speed boosts unlocked. βΈ» 4️⃣ Living in the UAE feels like the Super Mario star. You’re still dodging obstacles, but you’re moving faster, stacking wins, and finally playing offense instead of defense. βΈ» 5️⃣ The real tax isn’t money, it’s time. Every unnecessary tax bill is months or years you never get back. Cut that, and you buy back the most valuable asset on earth: margin. βΈ» 6️⃣ Final thought: I didn’t hustle harder or get luckier. I just changed location and that changed everything. Some systems drain you. Others give you your speed back. ⚑️ Drop me a follow if this resonates with you! πŸ’ͺ

🧡 Thread: From High-Tax Grind in Canada to Financial Freedom in the UAE πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦βž‘οΈπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺ 1/ So here’s my story: I moved from Canada to the UAE not just to chase the sun, but to escape that high-tax grind and actually keep more of the money I earn. Honestly, it’s been a game changer. 2/ It’s not all about the dollars (though let’s be real, that helps). It’s about the opportunities hereβ€”the network, the people, and the fact that my dollars go so much further. I can invest more and really build towards leaving the 9–5 sooner rather than later. 3/ I want to be totally transparent: I’m still in that 9–5 right now. But being here in the UAE is letting me build the runway I need. It’s about having that freedom to invest and eventually step away on my own terms. 4/ So if you’re curious about how to make your own money go further or how to design a lifestyle that’s a little more on your own terms, stick around. We’re just getting started.

Everyone’s out here grinding for an extra 10% raise. I moved to the UAE and kept 40% more of my income overnight. Same work. Same skills. Different tax code. Stop chasing raises in broken systems. Start chasing freedom geography.

$SOL in honey badger mode over the past month. Those that hold up well in pull backs are next in line to rip when the tide comes rushing back in πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ

Here in the UAE the top crypto app is Binance at #99. We are nowhere near the top.

I don’t know how long this will continue, but Wall Street predicts @Strategy earnings of -0.089 for November. With new fair accounting rules, Strategy reported Q2 earnings of 32.698!! Wall Street isn’t pricing this into the next earnings. Something has to give.
