Thanks for the kick in the ass. Also, looking at c40's journal made me realize how much I want to be doing that instead of working...
Hi James_0011. I searched for your journal in order to get some more information how you doing regarding "location vs. money". But unluckily I can't find your journal. Since this topic is over one year old, how did it go? What have you been doing since then? If I read correctly you decided for the the money, didn't you? Well, then I found some responses from you in other threads like "Work, is it that bad?", "How much do you value location independence", ... Would be great if you could share some information regarding "location vs. money".

For the calculation, don't forget to include the FEIE which makes your taxable income effectively 0 except for FICA taxes. So backdoor Roth IRA may still be possible but not direct Roth. And also look at state taxes.

And Asia may also have its own taxes.
