Care to share some of these podcasts?

I am a junior FE dev and might not have that much experience in this field as other commenters.

Still, my senior told me a few days ago: "The only way to avoid being replaced by AI as a dev is to become a dev that knows how to work together with AI". And I think this is the only way to stay relevant as a dev in the future.

Thank you for your very detailed answer mattbgates.

I must say that currently I am not looking to buy a property as an investment since I live somehow close to Ukraine and am waiting for the situation to cool down a bit. Still, it's my plan to diversify by investing into real estate in the future.

Thanks a lot again!

Thanks for your insightful reply!

It's clear that you have a lot of experience with managing rental properties and have learned a lot along the way.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering investing in real estate for the first time? What are some important factors I should consider before making a purchase?

Also, given the potential risks and complexities involved in real estate investing, don't you think it's less worrisome to just invest in stocks?

Thanks again for sharing your expertise on this topic!

> I'm working on my third property right now.

Honestly interested in this. Would you say that renting out a property is another full-time job and not a "passive income"?

Sorry, I might've explained myself incorrectly.

I am European and I've spent in Mexico only 2 years of my life which is not much.

Anyway I cannot help myself but to disagree with "don't think people are different here (anywhere in EU) as in Mexico".

My experience have been the total opposite: I consider us, Europeans, generally much more distanced and serious. It was definitely easier for me to make friends in Mexico (as an expat with locals) than as a local here with other locals.

Of course that talking about infrastructure, money, security - that's a whole different story.

Yes, you're 100% right about the mentioned freedom of speech and that's how it's supposed to be like.

Still, as the far-left/far-right gets more media coverage due to recent protests here and overall mood (read pro-Russian (and we've been occupied by Russia before lol)) on social media, some of them won in the recent regional elections and now these extremists have officially their electorate inside town halls.

Who knows how far can it get in a few more years.

That's what I've been planning to do too.

Ironically, I moved back to Europe from Mexico, since the life here is much easier and I had more opportunities here as a Junior Dev (still am a junior).

That being said, I miss the locals & the way of living there very much.

My therapist.

I realised that I have all the answers (regarding my own life) already right within me - I just need someone from the outside to dig through it with me.

I could name all the Navals of the world, and yes, these people do help. Still, I believe that very often, maybe more than ever before, we underestimate our own thoughts.

Have you thought about talking about this with a therapist?

I prefer not to go into details, but current circumstances are kind of forcing me to choose between one of them(I'll be leaving the country I currently live in and will be returning to my home country).

Yes, they do.
