    New Startup Law in Spain

    Thank you. Didn't know this text is available. i only have basic Spanish so need to use google translate using some key words in Spanish but does page 7 not cover it? Would you not be considered an employee of your own company in that new definition. The ministery itself tweeted about a...

    New Startup Law in Spain

    As I mentioned we are talking about future changes to the Beckham Law . The current rules are for employees as I had mentioned in my earlier post in this thread. It's all wait and see and the devil might be in the detail but the ministry itself at least said they are planning to include digital...

    New Startup Law in Spain

    Yes I read this as well. But the headache issues with regard to Spanish tax are related to normal resident status. If you can get in the future the 'Beckham Law' treatment i.e. a 5 year non-resident treatment as a digital nomad entrepreneur working for your own company outside Spain, I think it...

    New Startup Law in Spain

    I fully understand the scepticism but at first sight it could potentially be interesting for digital nomads. This article seems to suggest they could open the door to be treated as a non-resident for up to 5 years as a digital nomad (i.e. akin to the current Beckham Law which now is not suitable...

    Why people paying fee for custody or wealth management , when you can buy low fee index fund etf by yourself ?

    In general building wealth in a safe way with property takes time indeed (20 years of more). If you can get rich with an internet startup in a short timespan that is a great. Not that many succeed but it's great to be ambitious and reach for the stars.

    It's not for everyone and you need to be willing to invest time. To be successful in real estate you need to manage it as a business. But it's by far the asset class/business that has created the most millionaires in the world (see also 90% of the World's Millionaires Do This to Create Wealth)

    Why people paying fee for custody or wealth management , when you can buy low fee index fund etf by yourself ?

    Yes very true. Also as an investment real estate is very different to other asset classes: you can enjoy it (i.e. live in it) whereas bonds and equities you can just look at, add value (renovations, create extra rooms,...) as well as receive inflation-linked income (rent) from it. It's also the...

    Sure human psychology is always the weak factor. Do you know the study where they went through the client portfolios of a big bank to see who got the best returns? They discovered there was a specific segment of clients that did better than all the others... they seemed to have discovered the...

    Living in Cyprus\Malta - PRO\CONS

    We were offered a place at Verdala for 11th grade for next school year for our daughter. It's an IB school, you cannot compare an international school to a British curriculum school. Unless you're planning on studying in the UK later (which has now kind of disappeared as an option for EU...

    You have a certain investment view about about the current state of financial markets which might be right or wrong but that's a different topic. I'm not saying you should go in all stocks at the moment. I actually share your fear about where the zero interest rates and high debt levels will...

    Living in Cyprus\Malta - PRO\CONS

    I lived in Cyprus from 2003 to 2008 and planning to move to Malta this summer. Guess we will find out but feedback we got from people living in Malta is quite positive. It looks like it's a bit more advanced than Cyprus in terms of economy and with English an official language it's easier to...
