You want to have this debt hanging over your life until the end? IMO just do like this: 1. Try to realize this check - if money goes towards paying debt, than that's fine, it's first step towards debt-free life. 2. If you get the money then you achieved what you wanted (although IMO it would be...

Note that the requirement is not to hold 130k USD in their bank, but "2 billion rupiah" (which with current rate is 130k USD). And something tells me that probably their currency devalues quicker than USD... Not to mention liquidity risk of banks etc. Also case of Cyprus comes to mind. This...

When I was researching place for incorporation, following things discouraged me from Lux (if I'm incorrect, please feel free to correct me, but this is what I remember from talking with accountants from Lux): 1. If you personally will be resident of Lux, then you will have crazy high personal...
