#1523 - Solar Power Basics, Retirement Costs & Renting in Latin America

from The Expat Files · host Johnny Mueller

Johnny breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of home solar power: the difference between kilowatts and kilowatt-hours, and why inverter size can matter just as much as battery capacity. He also looks at the cost of retiring comfortably in different countries, gives an update on the November Expat Insider Seminar, and digs into the realities of renting in Latin America, including landlord promises, appliance repairs, security deposits, utility disputes, contracts, and why documenting everything matters. Plus, a few observations on everyday culture and the unmistakable signs that age is catching up with you. More episodes, resources, and seminar information at ExpatPlanB.com.
