Things like low taxes, affordable healthcare, security and ease of travel, which were really never factors in your 20s and 30s suddenly start taking a front seat in your 40s and 50s. And these are factors that go beyond what you can manage just sitting where you are. These are country-dependent, making it imperative that you take stock of where you will eventually live long-term. But this is a complex decision. For Indians like me and generally people in most parts of the world, it isn’t easy to just up and move to any other country.

Henley and Partners have a long history of helping financially successful individuals figure out how to achieve their longer-term goals through alternate residency or even citizenship. Our guests, Rory and Bhairav are going to help us understand the kinds of situations in which you might want to consider such a move, the locations that welcome financially successful individuals and how you could get started planning such a move.

Everyone wants to know how to trade so they can also earn quick money. And this question has become almost omnipresent in the last 18 months, with the unilateral rise in the stock market. Everyone thinks it is the quickest and the most sure-shot way of making money, and that it requires nothing more than opening a trading account and having a shot at it. We are here to discuss how to differentiate between investing and trading, and why they require a very different mindset.

By the by, we have set up the CrazyTok community to with a mission to deliver quality professional content so you can accelerate your career, grow your business and build wealth.

Financial Independency is what all of us dream about, whether you're 20 or 50. And all our episodes address either a specific point in this journey or tools to enable you to walk this journey so you can get to a level of financial independence. 

We believe financial independence is the point at which you truly have the freedom to decide how you want to live, with the resources to afford it. It is what gets you out of having to do things you would rather not be doing, working soul-crushing jobs or spending time at work when you might be needed with your family or dropping out of dinner with friends to meet a deadline. So, take 15 mins of your time to check this out. We have great ideas on achieving your financial freedom.
