Lol what I think it comes down to is people don't know how to value 3 things, their time, their labour and information, so they waste time, undersell their labour and don't source valuable information and that's just the competitive nature of being human.

Oh I avoid it like the plague, lol wealth without work, lol not going to happen, they the same people who leave their money with money managers get their shitty 5% return and then cry they don't have enough to retire on, it's not that persons responsibility, it's yours. His making his retirement by taking 2 and 20 on managing the fund lol he/she doesn't give a fuck about what you're left with at the end of the day.

Only you can save you.

I think that's the case the world over, people are going to try and undercut each other with wages, we have it here too with people from other African countries and more power to them! I think competing on cheap is fine, because the quality will always suffer.

If you compete on the quality you can demand better rates, i know we have too many zombie companies governments won't let fail so there creative destruction is lost and so that theory doesn't hold true now, but I still hold on to it, call me a dreamer lol

There's always going to be labour arbitrage, I benefit from it personally since the cost of living is way cheaper here but my skill set allows others to monetise my work in their countries and make a margin on my work, so I'd be lying to say I am not the one undercutting US, UK and AU workers in my field

Lol sounds to me like I need to get more of that mountain living, I only know this stuff because I have to prepare if I didn't id be happy go lucky off the grid, hopefully once day, but I want to make sure when I walk away I never have to come back
