The Financial Case for Moving Abroad w/ Richelle Gamlam #1190

Spain. Vietnam. Tanzania. Georgia… the one in Europe of course. Ever catch yourself daydreaming about building a life somewhere far beyond the borders of the US? There’s a lot to love about living here. But for many, the pull to see more of the world never really goes away. What’s fascinating is that moving abroad isn’t just a lifestyle decision, it can be a financial one too. Different countries come with different costs, and entirely different ways of thinking about work, money, community, and quality of life. Our guest today is Richelle, founder of Move Abroad Coach. She’s spent more than 12 years living across half a dozen countries and has helped over 3,000 people navigate the leap overseas. Through that work, she’s gained a unique perspective on how where you live can dramatically shape your life and finances… often in ways most people never stop to consider. Today, we’re talking about the real pros and cons of leaving your home country behind: the money, the mindset shifts, the tradeoffs, and the opportunities. Specific topics include: • Why Rochelle splurges on personal growth • Her first move abroad was a major learning experience • Moving abroad can be a financial strategy • It’s not a vacation… it’s real life in a new place • Remote work and self-employment make the move easier • Digital nomad visas open up more options • Healthcare can be far more affordable overseas • Families can absolutely move abroad too • Fit matters more than fantasy • And check out her Move Abroad Bootcamp • !
