Thinking globally, which working arrangement allows me to save the most in 1yr

2 pointsby sethxalmost 6 years ago
My goal is simple: Save the most money possible in 2020, and concentrate on doing meaningful work for myself in 2021.<p>In your experience, which kind of working arrangement, tax regime, etc is the most efficient at building up savings? I can relocate anywhere i wish, no limits whatsoever.<p>Freelancing is game, being employed is game, but working remote is not, because high pay remote work is extremely difficult to come around and I&#x27;ve never seen it in practice.<p>Out of the box solutions with tax residency in one country but work in another are also encouraged, as long as IT work exists in that region :)<p>I don&#x27;t want to cut back massively on my lifestyle. Here in the Netherlands i live in a nice studio, and have a burnrate of about 3k&#x2F;eur&#x2F;mo . I tend to live rather frugally. No massive expenses.<p>I&#x27;m a software consultant. I build stuff, frontends, backends, doesn&#x27;t really matter what.<p>I currently reside in the Netherlands, where expats like myself got a 30% tax break on their yearly gross, but I&#x27;ve lost that privilege now. Time to move on... I have EU and US citizenships, so the world is my oyster.<p>I&#x27;m wondering what my next step should be.
