It's difficult to imagine Trevor Noah, Charlize Theron or Elon Musk ever reaching this level of success living in South Africa.
Being fiercely patriotic doesn't always put food on the table or catapult you into the big leagues.

If you have the chance to work in another country, develop relationships & cultivate globally recognised skills - do it!

The world is so much bigger than our tiny piece of it.
The tragedy is people with a highly specialized set of skills, deep experience, strong relationships & vast resources will always have options to live in another country.

It's usually the most vulnerable members of society who are forced to stick it out.
Small fish, big pond > Big fish, small pond

Many wealth coaches/ trading gurus/ personal finance "experts" exist solely to make money from you & not for you
Twitter is filed with "this does not constitute investment advice" disclaimers.

It's easy to shift accountability - so you get away with loosely saying anything.

Consequently, you get university students & talk show hosts dishing out blind advice on retirement annuity products.
If you discovered a trading system that works repeatedly with a high degree of accuracy

... would you come onto the internet & share it freely with strangers?

Probably not

The money is in selling the idea & hardly ever in executing the idea itself
