Went other country for weeks and have the audacity to tokkok about how great the other countries are. Generally speaking what you say is correct, but realistically, you never worked/studied those place or stayed for an extensive period of time. I went to study in one of your lists for years, it's not even close to what you 'experienced' there. U gotta take into factors their livelihood, tax rate, cartels, elitism and different of class between the poor and rich. Even with traveling over said place for weeks you still naive.

After study there and worked for a few good years, I can honestly say, yes I agree with the notion that we can learn more on the internet. I love to travel but you can make it cheap and memorable without much money and bragging it out.

It's just immature to say one is better than the other.

NGL internet gives a lot of info nowadays but something is just unobtainable without visiting the spot.

I'll just try to put down a few things here:
1. Switzerland: can you imagine a place where people can live with their easy-going life harmony yet the whole place is being run beautifully? (Japan is not easy-going life harmony lmao)
2. Northern Europe in a general: people can actually close shop at 5 and not work on weekends and yet still live like saints!
3. China and Japan: business means working 2-10 of the workload of a normal white human, and that's how we Asian become ultra successful in so short of time
4. every european country other than italy and france: man Malaysia is just good man cheap food 24/7 insya'Allah  brows.gif
5. Italy and France: culture is good stuffs and one definitely can make money while maintaining them

These might not be something significant to you but all these times spent definitely shaped me, or some parts of me!
And of course travelling is fun, ain't gonna deny that  brows.gif

I'll just say you are yet to pay a visit to somewhere significant, go travel more!

p/s: add one more

6. europeans dont give a shit about luxuries(LV, blueberry and Chanel) unless they are realllllly rich and from upper class, and always curious what's wrong it is with Asian  brows.gif

I think the most important thing in FIRE is savings, secondly its the spending. If you can reduce spending, you can reduce savings to reach FIRE. Doesn't mean you stop working once you reached FIRE, at least you can do what you love to do. Happiness is the goal.

Personal opinion
