What They Don't Tell You About Money and Living Abroad | Summer Series

Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series — shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down.In this clip, financial strategist Alex Ingrim, founder of Liberty Atlantic, unpacks a deceptively simple idea: your "financial backpack" — everything you carry from one country to the next, and how it changes the moment you cross a border. Mickelle and Alex explore how building a life abroad is really like building a custom life, where your country, your passport, and your finances all have to work in concert.They dig into why trying out low-tax-impact countries can be the smartest first step, why you should run towards something rather than away from it, and the uncomfortable truth most people miss: your income is almost always taxable where you land, and your tax bill abroad may shock you. It's practical, aspirational, and exactly the kind of planning that makes a move sustainable.Connect with Alex Ingrim at libertyatlantic.com.
