from The Millionaire Insider Podcast · host Annette Bau, CFP®;

Over the last year, I have had a record number of questions about living and retiring abroad. And while it may sound like the ultimate freedom, with lower living costs, beautiful surroundings, and a slower pace of life, there are considerations you must address before packing your bags and making a permanent move. Without the right plan, it can also introduce unnecessary financial and emotional stress. In this episode, I explain what it really takes to retire abroad successfully, so your dream lifestyle is supported by clarity, confidence, and a solid financial plan. In this episode, you will learn: >> (5:21) The lifestyle benefits of retiring abroad >> (11:15) An often-overlooked factor when moving overseas >> (15:41) Ways to stay connected and build community >> (20:10) What to consider before you move >> (22:15) Financial management when living abroad Retiring abroad isn't just about saving money; It's about the quality of life, freedom, fulfillment, and choice. Many retirees find their dollars go further in countries like Portugal, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, and Thailand. With the right planning, guaranteed income, and ongoing guidance, you can enjoy the freedom of living abroad without worrying about running out of money or making costly mistakes. Enjoy the episode.
