Create an Untethered Life Overseas
I’ve found it! Earlier this year, I wrote about my disappointment in a product that promised to be a roadmap for expats. Instead, it was a bunch of fluff — mostly recycled fluff, at that. I haven’t given up the search, though, because we future expats need something that will take us, step by step, [...]
What do Brazil, India, Costa Rica, Thailand, Panama, Singapore and Hungary have in common? They’re all medical hotspots for Americans seeking procedures they can’t afford in the US, according to travel website Boots ‘n All. International Living adds Mexico, South Korea and Turkey to the list. If you’re considering living in a country known for [...]
And Stay Healthy? I have some concerns about the food supply in my overseas location. How do I find out whether crops are grown with chemical pesticides or whether the cows are pumped full of antibiotics as they are in the US? I don’t want to assume anything. . . If eating nutritious, healthful, uncontaminated [...]
Recently I asked the question: Health Care Abroad: are we writing Just the right amount Too much Not enough The results are in — and I wish more of you had responded. A whopping eighty-three percent of respondents clicked “just the right amount.” Thanks, guys! Seventeen percent said there’s not enough health care coverage. And [...]
Periodically, I’m going to insert a brief poll to get some feedback from you, readers, about whether you’re finding what you want and need here. Today, since we’ve just been discussing health care, I’m asking for some input on how well we’re doing in that department. I’d really appreciate it if you’d take a quick [...]
Last October I asked the question, “Is US health care driving Americans to move abroad?” You can read the original post here. I followed up the question and post with a poll. When the poll closed, 19% of respondents listed health care as the “most important” reason for their move and a whopping 69% rated [...]
Well, I’ve done it. I’ve committed the unforgiveable blogging sin: I haven’t kept up with my posting schedule. Normally I put up a new article every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But the past couple of weeks, I’ve only done two, and not on schedule. My bad. I’ve gotten distracted by another project. Shame on me. [...]
On March 21, the House passed the health care overhaul bill and on March 23, President Obama signed it into law. Nobody really knows how it’s going to impact expats, but preliminary indications are that, unless you earn more than the FEIE (foreign earned income exclusion) annually in US income, it won’t effect you at [...]
It’s hard to believe, but I uploaded the first post to Future Expats Forum on March 11, 2009. In this past year, I’ve posted: 108 total posts, plus a few pages 17 posts about health care in other countries 17 posts about financing your new life overseas through work or business 16 expat-themed book and [...]
A couple of days ago, Limbaugh, self-proclaimed leader of the far right, told an on-air caller he will leave the country if health reform passes. Read the article Limbaugh said he would go to Costa Rica. The only problem with that plan? Costa Rica has universal health care. According to International Living: “Costa Rica has [...]
If you're one of the 80% of readers who will have to earn a living overseas, this book's for you!
There’s a ton of information about different regions, countries and cities of the world. There’s lots of investment advice and information about protecting your wealth.
What I haven’t found is basic information on how to accomplish your overseas move, and how to support yourself once you arrive.
There aren’t any road maps.
