THE OTHER COLUMN
What you keep by staying.
The board only counts tax. Here's the part that doesn't fit in a spreadsheet.
Public health insurance that doesn't care how your MRR is doing.
CIR / CII and JEI status can claw back a real chunk of what you spend building.
Grants and loans for founders that most countries simply don't have.
Free public schools and near-free universities, if kids are in the plan.
Family, friends and Sunday lunches don't fit in a spreadsheet.
Find a better €1.30 croissant. We'll wait.
