Episode Details

Arielle Tucker is a certified financial planner, IRS enrolled agent, and author of The Expat Money Playbook, and she's currently building her life in Switzerland while helping Americans navigate the wild world of moving abroad. 

We got into why US citizens still owe taxes no matter where they live, and why that first year abroad can either make you or completely break you. I shared my own story about almost missing a transit paper for my dog and living through my own honeymoon phase here in Vietnam, and Arielle broke down exactly what kind of emergency fund you actually need before you book that one-way ticket. 

This isn't about romanticizing expat life, it's about planning for it the right way so it actually sticks. 

What's the one thing holding you back from making the move abroad?
