Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however. I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter
You're absolutely right about the power of compound interest and the long-term potential of investing in index funds like the S&P 500. For many, passive investing in broadly diversified funds can be a reliable strategy over time.
Employing a professional financial analyst or advisor can certainly add value by offering tailored advice, portfolio diversification, risk management, and timely insights. Their expertise can potentially speed up wealth creation and navigate market complexities, but it's important to choose someone reputable and consider their fees, as they can impact your overall returns.
I'm actually interested in this idea of investing through an analyst. Sounds like the most sensible thing to do in the market right now. Could you give me a pointer to who you work with, please?
BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
The reason why people in Qatar are more conservative with their wealth is because Qatar has old money. Dubai is very new money people who are rich but not necessarily wealthy. You can always tell the difference when you see how someone presents themself.
That’s not really accurate. Both citizens of Qatar and and Dubai is what we would consider ‘old money’ in the west. Foreigners of both places are just that, from old or new money.
Old money !??! Wtf!?? Dubai developed their oil money way before Qatar!!! The reason locals don’t post themselves too much on instagram is bcoz of privacy and judgement coming from their ppl. Also they post a lot on Snapchat and that’s where they flirt they will never post a girl they hooked up but they do crazy stuff on private parties and in hotels and apartments…, also that’s why they travel a lot in London… and most of them are married so can’t flaunt around or flex on social media bcoz their spouse will find out who they are messing with and they rarely post their faces for this reason
@@shiningstar6470 So you took my comment out of context completely. I was talking about the people that Dubai attracts are new money that cannot be denied. Dubai is KNOWN for new money and rentals. Whoever made their oil money first is non of my business.
I’ve lived in Qatar as my husband worked there for several years, we both have two Master degrees each. Coming from a Western country, you can only live there as a highly qualified professional on a work visa (or dependent visa if your spouse works there and qualifies to bring family members along). A work visa is tied to the job and requires a lot of paperwork. It’s not like you can just choose to “move there” or “get sponsored” randomly. As a single you will “just” need a job (which you gotta secure first, good luck) to move there; if you have a family and are NOT on a package salary, school fees for children and living expenses for a family can easily surpass your salary and then the whole endeavour becomes totally infeasible. So, no you can’t just move there just because you want to.
Raya, 🤔 just for argument reasoning; with two Master's Degrees do you "gotta" have degrees? I mean really, in today's economy how can an education really serve your interests in their environment if it's "infeasible" to live there comfortably!😂😆
Hi Loretta, yes, coming from a Western country, you must have at least a Bachelor’s degree and usually some work experience in the field you are trying to work in. And again, you need an employer who will sponsor you. There is no citizenship path, you can only stay as long as you have a job there. You could establish a business or buy property there, but that’s not for the average Joe, you’d need a lot of money for that.
Really enjoyed your video. I'm in year 6 of living in Qatar from London and I love the calmness and the lack of pressure to be materialistic. But love the freeness of Dubai. Qatar is beautiful 😍
I acqired a Golden Visa and now have three rental properties in Doha. My ROI is around 45% yearly. Doha is 20xs better than the US and safer. I have been welcomed , feel free to be my authentic self and experienced no racism as a Black Expat. I've had numerous conversations with the local natives about the west and theyd rather many of them not be here lol. LOVE Doha AND their culture!
Tbh In a lot of countries I’ve been to there will be some locals who don’t want outsiders there, but the government has a longer term vision. These countries won’t be able to survive of oil reserves forever so they need to start diversifying, locals will just have to deal with it. When certain western countries say they don’t want immigrants in their country for example they’re crucified 🤷🏽♀️
Having just returned from the middle east, you are spot on with Qatar. It’s not as glitzy, fast-paced, open and populated like Dubai, but it still offers something. I think it’s an easy move for anyone considering it, otherwise, try visiting to getting away from the buzz of Dubai! Great video
I first visited Dubai in August "the most unbearable and hottest month" by what people say. It was damn near empty and not as hot as people claimed especially considering their is AC everywhere you go I would highly recommend anyone to go in this month
@jordanhtiffirg1990 I also visited in July of 2023 and it was 45 degrees and unbearable. I never wanted to leave a country so fast. My throat was getting sore and I was starting to feel ill from the heat and AC. Best time to visit is late October to January. Best weather.
You summed up Qatar / Doha so well; culturally, not much has changed from my childhood memories, but it's definitely booming, and the architecture seems to have advanced tremendously. I remember thinking how boring it was as a kid, but I appreciated it as I got older, visiting family, compared to Dubai.
Lámidé, I stumbled upon your channel for the first time and I'm impressed! You're far from a typical RUclipsr - so much heart and authenticity. Your content is a breath of fresh air! The great level of information encoded with emotion and empathy in your videos make them truly remarkable. Can't wait for more! Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲.
The editing was amazing in this video! Doha is beautiful and I think a great place to settle down and more family friendly whereas Dubai is very much the city lifestyle vibe more!
14:48 that’s wrong. Matter of fact if you purchase any properties in Doha you get 99 years residency plus if the property cost more than 1 million dollar you get a life time residency, free and free education. On top of that you can sponsor your 1st degree relatives to live with you for as long as you own the property first certain years
Qatar is a heaven for someone who have a family with a good job there , lot of benefits with nice salary ..... as an Arab i recommend it for people who have +10 years of experience in fields like IT , Gaz and oil , Hospitality , healthcare , journalism ( especially in aljazeera)
I lived in Doha, Qatar for 1.5 years and it was extremely boring (unless all you care about is shopping). The business owners only care about themselves/making money and show little concern/respect for their clients & employees. And rent is extremely expensive, I lived in the Pearl and it's not nearly as "luxurious" as it's made out to be. It's all a facade!
Very organized and well put to video, very interesting and informative I enjoyed watching and learning. My daughter lives in Doha Qatar, she is a flight attendant for Qatar Airways. One day I hope to visit there
Qatar is the safest in fact there’s no crime at all, the crimes committed are insults or injustice, because these things are illegal. Qatar is amazing in my opinion it’s the best
What about the young British woman teacher who was abducted and taken out into the desert and burnt? The locals involved had a trial of sorts and a joke of a sentence - there was no justice for the poor young woman and her family. And also all the small children and kindergarten teachers that died in the Villagio fire because someone had bolted the fire escape closed from the outside. I was living there at that time - it was absolutely horrible, and again the local owners of the crèche had no accountability.
I do appreciate these videos about the UAE especially from a black person's perspective which for me is important. Love the knowledge on the economics. Although I haven't been in Dubai for long enough I think less flashy areas I would prefer. I loved Abu Dhabi vs Dubai, so I am keen to have more info re other UAE areas. Qatar, Saudi etc. I wish I was smart enough to be in finance. Numbers just is not me. Not for lack of trying.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and you have really enlighten me on what it’s like living in Qatar as an expat. Thanks for taking the time to create this video.
I love the queen there. She my mentor I do not need to meet her although one day I wish that I could. But this lady is the real deal. she not always in the media. She cares for her people , She always building something to benefit the people not her self. And that is what I love about her. Heck I have started dressing like her in somethings. He is the real deal
I love a video like this it gives you a different view of the middle east. Whenever I talk with friends about places like Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait etc, they keep saying negatives things.
Because there is a negative, dark side to these countries. Tourist who come for 3-10 days won't usually experience any of this. I traveled and lived for 3.5 years and it was a great experience. If you are from USA or UK and other European countries you are treated very well, especially if you are sponsored by a large company. I was in the state Department. My brothers and sisters from African countries who come to work are often mistreated and undergo racist situations. FYI, It is not All paradise for everyone!
@@ruqayyahcurtis7504thanks for this honest assessment. I was wondering about how Continental Africans or Caribbean are treated. Not surprised. Not everything that glitters is gold. 😣
Hi. Your video production skills and voice are excellent. Your content ideas and voice are very impressive. Keeping love 💕💕 and pray for your video. Thank you so much!
Lived in qatar for my whole life, I personally think its so safe, so small, and very easy to go from point A to point B- Although you think the country is small and crowded its actually the opposite. Qatar is like a small city but once you’ve entered it, you’ll think its as big as America. The weather is perfect for summer, going on a shopping spree here is also very perfect, not to mention the culture and food. As an arab i want to stay in this country forever because ik this country by heart and its helps me live a simple life. And for all the christians who like to party, there are many clubs and hotels that serve alcohol. Moreover qatar is perfect for anyone….but if your a lonely person and bored with your life, find you some qataris that can be friends with you! Alot of them are so nice❤😅
Thanks for the video appreciate your honest opinion!! Actually there’s been some updates to property ownership laws. As a foreigner you can get permanent residency if you buy property in specific areas like the pearl. No need for sponsorship. There’s been a lot of updates to visas laws too. Jusour programme that allows freelancers and entrepreneurs to get 5 year residency. Also would recommend going to Msheireb downtown, Almaha island and Katara in the evenings to see more of the locals lifestyle
Thumbs up! It's clearly explaining the beauty of Qatar. I was shocked when the American expat guy said the government supports lots of things even for expats. Incredible.
Interesting video. I emigrated from the UK to Dubai last year simply because it was the place i knew i liked in the region. Seems I should go check out Qatar soon!
Definitely top-notch delivery. It is refreshing to hear and see positive energy on RUclips. Keep up the great work, and dont feel compelled to respond to negative comments. I have subscribed.
Yes you can have permanent residency based on Real Estate. If you buy $1,000,000 US property, you can have permanent residency and free healthcare as long as you own the property
I was stationed in Qatar and came back to live there. The Middle East, while it has its benefits, is not the place for everyone. You have to know why you moved there and what you’re looking to accomplish. It’s not the place to go if you want to act out, be disrespectful or think you’re above all. They will put you in your place. So have a reason to move there, to better yourself and contribute honestly.
Great video LE. I was just there for the first time about the same time you were. I really, really, reeeeally adore that place. I"m going back in a few weeks to see what I missed. Thanks for you video. I JUST MAY, move there! Thanks again
Wow I’m literally looking to move abroad & this pops up. It’s crazy because I’ve been deployed here multiple times and i actually love it there. I may consider it. I was leaning towards Southeast Asia or checking out Cape Verde. Thanks for this video 🫴🏿💜
I’ve lived in 5 different countries in the Middle East and my take away depending on what your goals are if you want to have fun while you’re young I’d recommend working 9 - 10 months out of the year leave around the summer time to go back to your homeland to relax. I did this for 10 years I would stack my bread and around June I would take 2 - 3 months off work. For those who are older and closer to retirement age there are certain jobs out here that pay over six figures and in some cases it’s tax free so it’s a really good way to build your retirement and investment portfolio up at a rapid pace. Per GDP Qatar is the richest in the middle east because they owns 20% of Heathrow, and are consistently the number one supplier of LNG and they are a lot smarter with how they manage their sovereign fund it’s more of a business country with less touristic aspects whereas Dubai focus is tourism and business so they have to be a lot more loose with their spending in order to get a return on their investments.
As an exppat who was was born and settled in Bahrain i would like to move to qatar for work . Qatar and Bahrain looks almost similar in many ways . Borh have same currency and cities looks almost same . I love to live in island . Qatar is like a cousin of Bahrain
Whilst I enjoyed your video! There is some misinformation in terms of tax. Most people in the UK pay 20% income tax, 21% in Scotland. 11% (6.1 million) currently pay higher rates, with that figure set to reach 14% (7.8 million) by 2027-28. Of that 14%, 3.1% of adults (1.7 million) will face marginal tax rates of either 45% or 60%. I am looking to visit Doha soon so I am excited to see what it’s like first hand.
Oh yes I meant to say *up to 45%* in the UK which would be relevant for me and others who watch my channel who are typically high earners also, best of luck if you decide to head there. It’s a great place!
I live in Qatar and so much relate to your experiences. Nevertheless no complete story without the downside of it😊. I really enjoyed your video and must say your skin glows in beauty.
Doha was amazing I visited several years ago. Great for a weekly stay I loved the condolania theme park Villagio it was great for families. The boat ride in the mall was awesome. Respectfully I covered a bit and still had fun!!❤❤ my phone is filled with fabulous pics…great memories. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
The first and third apartment would be $2200 USD which is still incredibly inexpensive compared to where I live in Massachusetts. A luxury one bedroom apartment here would be over $3000 USD to have the same amenities and a comparable location.
A very good video! Thank you for sharing the informations. I wish one day to visit this country. I think there's many things to visit in Qatar. I watched your video from Canada 🇨🇦. U get a new follower 😁👍🏾
As a Muslim moving from the West to East. Qatar is a utopian world for us. You want to live an open life, go for Dubai. You want a conservative life, Qatar is your destination. As simple as that.
reason i wouldn't consider Qatar is because some of their laws are yet to be relaxed (if they will) like UAE/Dubai has relaxed some of theirs to invite expats.
Hi Lamide, new subscriber from the UK here and found your channel whilst looking into relocating to dubai....never considered Doha but to be fair it's more up my alley than Dubai so will definitely start doing my homework now......is it easy enough for foreigners to relocate there/Visas etc? Great video and content by the way....thank you
Hi there it would’ve been lovely to hear a little bit more from the guy who was working at Ford with respect to sponsorship and property ownership. Did you keep his details? Maybe you could do one-to-one with him?

Qatar isn’t aiming to be Dubai.
They are looking to be in the vein of Luxembourg and Singapore. Tiny yet wealthy and powerful.
Can you please elaborate? I thought they were relatively similar in terms of population and wealth.
@@thoyo they are similar in wealth, geography, religion and culture, that’s where it ends.
Qatar is a tiny state in comparison so they can’t make the nation solely touristic. So they are targeting a more sustainable economy with education, foreign investment, banking, media, healthcare and fossil fuels.
But they are still a bit touristy.
@@NoMadKid ahh ok. Thanks for responding!!

Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however. I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter
You're absolutely right about the power of compound interest and the long-term potential of investing in index funds like the S&P 500. For many, passive investing in broadly diversified funds can be a reliable strategy over time.
Employing a professional financial analyst or advisor can certainly add value by offering tailored advice, portfolio diversification, risk management, and timely insights. Their expertise can potentially speed up wealth creation and navigate market complexities, but it's important to choose someone reputable and consider their fees, as they can impact your overall returns.
I'm actually interested in this idea of investing through an analyst. Sounds like the most sensible thing to do in the market right now. Could you give me a pointer to who you work with, please?

What are you doing for living in dubai? Are you happy there? Am a nurse and want know if it is nice to come and work over
From Germany
Definitely top-notch delivery. It is refreshing to hear and see positive energy on RUclips. Keep up the great work, and dont feel compelled to respond to negative comments. I have subscribed.
Yes you can have permanent residency based on Real Estate. If you buy $1,000,000 US property, you can have permanent residency and free healthcare as long as you own the property
I was stationed in Qatar and came back to live there. The Middle East, while it has its benefits, is not the place for everyone. You have to know why you moved there and what you’re looking to accomplish. It’s not the place to go if you want to act out, be disrespectful or think you’re above all. They will put you in your place. So have a reason to move there, to better yourself and contribute honestly.
I been when I was in the Army I loved it.
A really nice overview of the laidback version of the UAE...good to have options. I am a new subscriber!
Great video LE. I was just there for the first time about the same time you were. I really, really, reeeeally adore that place. I"m going back in a few weeks to see what I missed. Thanks for you video. I JUST MAY, move there! Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it! 💕
Wow I’m literally looking to move abroad & this pops up. It’s crazy because I’ve been deployed here multiple times and i actually love it there. I may consider it. I was leaning towards Southeast Asia or checking out Cape Verde. Thanks for this video 🫴🏿💜
There are no.coincidences! Follow your heart/gut. 😊
Thanks for sharing, Im weighing up whether to living in UAE or Qatar
Same
Hopefully the video helped a little 🤞🏽
I loved Qatar just very hot in the summer cant even walk outside but very beautiful there.
Safe, clean, sunshine what more do you want 👍🏼
You studied Economic history???? I'm totally in love. Thought I was the only one interested in that. Love the video by the way.
Thank you & yea I did! It was an amazing degree
Great info Sis. I like your content and I subscribed. Thx
We are looking forward to visiting in March.
Nephew and his family live in Doha, works at international school
You don’t need job sponsorship only to live there. They give residential visas if you open a business or if you purchase property
Okay thanks, I couldn’t find anything when I did my search online
@@Lamideelizabethplease do they offer citizenship by investment or if you want to move all your businesses or companies there along your family too?
Love this informative, historical documentary style vlogs 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it! 💕
I stayed for few days…. Beautiful place, beautiful architecture for sure 💖
Trying to find best options for fashion executives to live & work in Mideast and you answered my question. Basically stick with Dubai 🤷🏽♀️
Oh for sure! Best of luck, sounds amazing 🤩
Great video. Very informative.
I like natural green country.
I’ve lived in 5 different countries in the Middle East and my take away depending on what your goals are if you want to have fun while you’re young I’d recommend working 9 - 10 months out of the year leave around the summer time to go back to your homeland to relax. I did this for 10 years I would stack my bread and around June I would take 2 - 3 months off work.
For those who are older and closer to retirement age there are certain jobs out here that pay over six figures and in some cases it’s tax free so it’s a really good way to build your retirement and investment portfolio up at a rapid pace.
Per GDP Qatar is the richest in the middle east because they owns 20% of Heathrow, and are consistently the number one supplier of LNG and they are a lot smarter with how they manage their sovereign fund it’s more of a business country with less touristic aspects whereas Dubai focus is tourism and business so they have to be a lot more loose with their spending in order to get a return on their investments.
Great content ❤
Beautiful and a lot of wealth there.
Thanks for your review & honest content 👍. I am adding Doha-Qatar to my travel bucket-list 😄 Stay Blessed always!
As an exppat who was was born and settled in Bahrain i would like to move to qatar for work . Qatar and Bahrain looks almost similar in many ways . Borh have same currency and cities looks almost same . I love to live in island . Qatar is like a cousin of Bahrain
I’d like to visit Bahrain soon
Yes, Qatar is very safe, we know you grew up in the UK and originally from Nigeria!!! A long way!! its safe
Negligent manslughter is worse than any other countries murders.
Whilst I enjoyed your video! There is some misinformation in terms of tax. Most people in the UK pay 20% income tax, 21% in Scotland. 11% (6.1 million) currently pay higher rates, with that figure set to reach 14% (7.8 million) by 2027-28. Of that 14%, 3.1% of adults (1.7 million) will face marginal tax rates of either 45% or 60%.
I am looking to visit Doha soon so I am excited to see what it’s like first hand.
Oh yes I meant to say *up to 45%* in the UK which would be relevant for me and others who watch my channel who are typically high earners also, best of luck if you decide to head there. It’s a great place!
I live in Qatar and so much relate to your experiences. Nevertheless no complete story without the downside of it😊. I really enjoyed your video and must say your skin glows in beauty.
Great insights. Would have loved to hear more from the expat. Sounds like my dream, as I’m also in accounting..
Thank you. You look & speak incredibly well. Keep it going.
What a great experience I loved it . I love Dubai and hope to visit other cities in the future ❤️❤️😍😍💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
As a liberated women, can you live freely as you do in your native Country?
Very insightful video. Be out soon visiting again 🙌
Doha was amazing I visited several years ago. Great for a weekly stay I loved the condolania theme park Villagio it was great for families. The boat ride in the mall was awesome. Respectfully I covered a bit and still had fun!!❤❤ my phone is filled with fabulous pics…great memories. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Such an informative video, thank you!
ENJOYED YOUR PRESENTATION 👍 🎉
I deployed there as base security forces, visited the souks on my day off,
Thank you for doing this video.
❤ Beautiful thank you ❤
Such a great video
Was there during the world cup, met my fiance there and also been going back and forth. Agree it's super safe but also a expensive.
The first and third apartment would be $2200 USD which is still incredibly inexpensive compared to where I live in Massachusetts. A luxury one bedroom apartment here would be over $3000 USD to have the same amenities and a comparable location.
This is magnificent ❤
Thank you!!!
Rent in Doha is more expensive when compared to Dubai.
You are beautiful! Thank you for the video!
I LOVE❤ THIS COUNTRY FROM RIGHT FROM WHEN I DISCOVERED YEARS (2020)
A very good video! Thank you for sharing the informations. I wish one day to visit this country. I think there's many things to visit in Qatar. I watched your video from Canada 🇨🇦. U get a new follower 😁👍🏾
As a Muslim moving from the West to East. Qatar is a utopian world for us. You want to live an open life, go for Dubai. You want a conservative life, Qatar is your destination. As simple as that.
Very intestine. Thank you!
reason i wouldn't consider Qatar is because some of their laws are yet to be relaxed (if they will) like UAE/Dubai has relaxed some of theirs to invite expats.
PLEASE REVIEW BAHRAIN NEXT
Saudi Arabi is about a 100 years ahead compared to the west in more the one way!
Editing is excellent. 😊
Im nurse and 55 year from Sweden. I cant speak arabic.
It would be nice❤
Great video
Thank you for this amazing information. I would like to visit Qatar.
115 degrees Fahrenheit and 80% humidity.
Hi Lamide, new subscriber from the UK here and found your channel whilst looking into relocating to dubai....never considered Doha but to be fair it's more up my alley than Dubai so will definitely start doing my homework now......is it easy enough for foreigners to relocate there/Visas etc? Great video and content by the way....thank you
Hi there it would’ve been lovely to hear a little bit more from the guy who was working at Ford with respect to sponsorship and property ownership. Did you keep his details? Maybe you could do one-to-one with him?
