Moving Abroad on a Budget: How to Make Trade-Offs without a Shame Spiral

from How to Move Abroad: Your Guide to Start Living Abroad · host Mistelle Godlewski

Moving abroad means making trade-offs. Every single person who has done it has had to make them — there is no version of this where you don't. The goal isn't to avoid them. It's to make them on purpose instead of by accident, because the accidental ones are the ones you end up resenting.This week I'm breaking down the two trade-offs that trip people up the most — do you move now with less money or wait and keep saving, and do you ship your stuff or sell it all and start fresh. I'm also getting into how to stop treating every financial decision like a test of how serious you actually are about this move.Spoiler: it's not. It's just math with feelings stapled to it.Free download: 10 Money Hacks for Your Move AbroadInstagram: @iammistelle
