What this episode covers

Moving abroad isn’t a postcard. It’s paperwork, money moves, competing rules, and real trade-offs. In this welcome episode, Janice Diaz and Robert Rigby Hall lay out the show’s mission and the core realities Americans overseas should understand: Abandoned 401(k)s, Roth IRA treatment abroad, PFIC pitfalls, FATCA-driven bank friction, FBAR penalties, currency swings, and why U.S. politics still hits your wallet from thousands of miles away. They also explain how to vet a cross-border advisor (look for U.S. literacy, such as the Series 65, and a robust tax/legal network) and why coordinated tax and financial planning matter more than hot takes on forums. You’ll learn The biggest financial blind spots for Americans overseas (401(k)s, Roths, PFIC, banking). How policy shifts and FATCA ripple into daily money life abroad. Practical criteria for choosing the right advisor and tax team. Why mindset and preparation beat “figure it out later.” Hosts: Janice Diaz & Robert Rigby Hall More: rethinkexpats.com Disclaimer: Education only. Not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice.

Dare to Think | Mere Liberty Podcast Kerry Baldwin To challenge and rethink our paradigms for understanding society, by applying Reformed theology and philosophy to politics, religion, and culture, in order to encourage individual freedom and responsibility within our own spheres of influence. Mere Liberty is about liberty at its most fundamental core. It's stripping away the rhetoric that we've become accustomed to hearing and challenging the paradigms that face us today. Mere Liberty is not about politics per se, rather it's about the philosophies (and theology) behind the problems presented in politics and culture. Challenging the manner in which we see these problems will push us to think beyond mere political solutions that in effect isolate us from own responsibility, and eschewing responsibility means relinquishing our associated freedoms.
