Can a 55-year-old build complete freedom using AI?

30 years in tech. 70+ countries. Still paying 60% in tax with less freedom than I expected. Building a way out — publicly, honestly, using AI. Thailand is the target. USD $20,000/month is the number.

30 years in US tech and Australian startups. Lived across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia. 70+ countries. A medical practice. Every marker of conventional success — and still paying 60% in tax with less freedom than I expected.
