I've decided to change my life a while ago, build a business and control my life. Right after I made up my mind to give up my career and start something, I had to move to another country to be with my wife. The job pays OK (but not great, about 40000$ year) and we can have a job here for as long as we want but we want to go back to our country as soon as we can.
The problem is, back home getting a job is much, much harder, and won't pay as much. We're trying to save up as much as possible to be able to return more comfortably.
I'm been using this time to think about the business, do my research, but since we want to go back I can't start anything here. And even though still I don't have the one incredible idea for a business I'm certain I'll go with, the one I'm thinking of needs to be "Local", like have a physical place to provide services.
I'm 37 and I feel like time is running out. But I know when we go back, the money we'll need for a house/car won't leave much to invest in the business. Does anyone have any advice, for someone who is abroad?
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, seemed appropriate.
