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:
My main priorities are:
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:
Own my own Accounting Firm, helping clients pay less in taxes, do bookkeeping, negotiate taxes with IRS, etc. typical accountant stuff.
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.
Read More@chadinthemaking69 you left out "get a bunch of federal funds for the electric car company".
@truthdontbehidden Be a founder of paypal then use that money to fund an electric car company and then use that money to fund a space company and then use that money to be rich.
The auction went well for me this time. I bought 7 parcels out of the 9 I really wanted. Now I have a portfolio of 13 properties, of which at least 2 are keepers but many still sight unseen in person.
I've concentrated on remote desert and mountain lots, either worthy as a ranch and/or "bug out" destination or on distinguishing terrain like buttes rising out of the otherwise flat mundane desert floor. I also got two amazing but landlocked mountain canyon acreages that I have special plans for. These are unicorn wild mountain parcels within hiking distance of the 7-8 figure foothill mansions bordering the vast LA urban sprawl. Might be a cool "primitive build" opportunity.
The first titles have rolled in with the last expected ~60 days out. I'll invest a bit of sweat equity and take some great photos, then get to work marketing them. I've noticed my "competition" in land and tax sale flipping is absolute shit in this department; hopefully my time to shine.
This is a numbers game; one expects some properties to turn out to be turkeys so you hedge your bets. At least 2 of the most plum properties should each sell for more than I paid for all of them, and most of the rest will probably average around half that figure. There are a lot of overpriced yet completely useless, and tons of bland remote parcels you'd be lucky to sell for what you paid bottom dollar at the tax auction. Looking at you, California City! Pick well though, and the upside potential is crazy. One of the properties I bought for under $6k has a very old thus low assessor value of $35k.
I will offer ea$y qualifying owner financing if they make a down payment greater than my cost and a bit of gross profit. I will offer hard-money level mortgage interest rates and no prepayment penalty. Thus, some of the properties will return an immediate profit, others will provide passive income for my semi-retirement.
