Why do people just complain about the system instead of learning how to play the system?

So I’m 32m. I’m an American making $9,763.70 per month. I pay a grand total of $750 in taxes per month. My total bills for food, rent, electricity, gas, etc is about 30% of my income. I make an additional $700 a month in interest on the $190k I have in an HYSA. I own $200k of gold and silver. To summarize, my gross income for tax year 2025 was $139,872. My total tax liability was 0. All of what I have said is legal.

Because playing the system doesn't fix the system. Do you have any gold or silver? if not you stand to lose everything.

No you don’t.

The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) allows qualified US citizens and residents working abroad to exclude up to
$130,000 (for 2025) of their foreign earnings from US taxation. To qualify, you must have a tax home in a foreign country and meet either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test (330 days abroad in 12 months)
