My wife and kids have moved to wisconsin years ago. They've been bugging me to come for years on end. While I was trying to build my supposed empire here and after a few failures and successes, apart from the crumbling bureacracy and politics here. Yep, I've decided to say "Fine, I'll leave this dump". My best job started there anyway doing remote work for american companies. So I guess, after I'm done settling the land issues and taxes here hopefully in 2 years (could be more coz Philippines). Asta la Vista Philippines. I just might be seeing some of you guys there. Fingers crossed.

Agreed. 2 to 3 years is a lot of time and a lot of stuff can certainly happen. Let's hope we're past the worse at the moment, covid and all that. But who knows what the matrix throws at ya. hehe.

Thanks. Sounds like my own pipe dream. But yeah nothing tops being with family. As for retirement, I'm pretty sure I am far from that for the time being, as I would like to stay very active and do something very productive there.

Not really. It's a bit more complicated than that. Depending on what one desires. There are a bunch of pros and cons though. But yep it's great to be with family and then some.
