@Sergei_Rachmaninoff_Is_Alive Midwest, and I do like it here. I've found a couple great communities around my interests, endurance sports especially. People are mostly welcoming in my experience. There's some bullshit in my particular area just because its a larger city. If you're used to San Diego weather you might hate it though lol, it does get colder than 40 degrees in the winter here.

The Southeastern US isn't bad at all, as long as you stay away from large cities.

@Sergei_Rachmaninoff_Is_Alive there's place in the US with sunshine and low taxes, but the other problems are getting worse across the board here sadly. I don't have a ton of experience anywhere else though.

Which country or place should I move to? We all know that the US is in steady decline due to crime, socialism, high taxes, delinquency, high-on-drugs population, etc. I just don't see anything good that could possibly come from this place anymore. I am highly disappointed in the United States.

I'm doing my research and trying to make a decision as to where on the globe I should relocate. About me:

  • Profession: accountant,
  • Work entirely online/remote,
  • 28 year-old white guy,
  • Single, no kids, no debt - can leave the US easily.

My main priorities are:

  • Low crime,
  • Low income tax,
  • Need PLENTY of sunshine. I live in San Diego for that reason.

What's my best bet?

even start /join like a "masionic" group

Tbh, this is a bit gay.

You seem to be afraid of the autonomy that your financial state would imply.

You would indeed need to enter some social circles as a peripheral member, initially, but the aim would be to make real friends and ultimately an intimate band-of-brothers.

Don't do it in your natural obsessive -conpulsive way (the safe way of strictly structured groups) because their inflexibility means you won't be able to grow.

Also, if your target to expand/double your business is sapping much of your energy, you might want to reconsider your priorities, give a bit more space to new instead of the future.

Which direction should I go in my life from here?

The goal: to expand my horizons, not only financially, but also socially.

About me:

  • 28 years old,
  • 210lbs, 5'10, IQ 120
  • Health: I go to the gym every day. I'm fairly good looking. My diet is 90% clean. Some fast food here and there on rare occasion.
  • Live in San Diego California (pretty happy here - may or may not stay)
  • Certified Public Accountant (tax specialized). This profession does great in Cali. Making over $100K revenue working by myself. Not even full-time
  • Own my own Accounting Firm, helping clients pay less in taxes, do bookkeeping, negotiate taxes with IRS, etc. typical accountant stuff.

  • Right-wing AF. Taxation is theft and i'm hella anti-tax.

Aside from expanding my business (hoping to reach $200K revenue this year in 2023), what should I do in particular to expand my finances and wealth? (considering today's economic situation, investing feels like a waste of money. Crime in the US is through the roof and I doubt this country even has a future).

Another major goal of mine is to get better with women. The only thing I really lack is confidence / balls. I mean I got "balls" but i certainly wish they were bigger. If i could choose between banging lots of women vs. finding ONE woman to settle down with and have kids, obviously i would choose the latter. However, as you gents are well-aware finding a wife-material girl is tough/impossible nowadays.

I also want to expand my social circles, and potentially even start /join like a "masionic" group. I want to be part of a secret group that meets and makes meaningful decisions that have an impact.

Financial Independence

Created By Spartan

Financial Independence (FI) means not needing to work for money. The core concept is to increase your savings rate and buy assets that provide a stream of passive income.

How?

Spend less than you earn and invest the difference. Stock index funds, bonds and investment real estate are common paths to financial independence. Your time to retirement depends on basically one factor: your savings rate as a percentage of your take home pay.
