Big welcome to the newest members of The Expat Investor Academy. Shoutout to: Camille Monroe, Mike Lock,, Kevin Post, Tasha Griffin, Brian Decker, Paul Brown, Sneha Bapodra, Jerome Hunley, Sharnee Bennett, B D, Ken Macleod, Anna Lasota Hamza Abdullah You have officially joined a group of people who are at least slightly suspicious of the default life plan — work forever, retire at 67, maybe see the world when your knees stop working. We’re here for something better: Build wealth. Live abroad. Create freedom. Eat better fruit. I just published our first interview inside the Expat Interviews classroom with my friend Sierra Melcher. Sierra has lived abroad for almost 20 years, moved overseas as a teacher, built and sold a yoga studio in Medellín, started a publishing company, raised her daughter in Colombia, and somehow managed to build a life that includes freedom, family, meaningful work, good health, and apparently massages on Friday afternoons. In the interview, we talk about: - Living abroad without having your entire life figured out - Starting a business in another country - Raising a bilingual kid abroad - Healthcare and education in Colombia - Earning dollars while spending pesos - The magic of cheap fruit and walkable cities - The annoying stuff too: banks, bureaucracy, language, culture shock, and waiting in lines where nobody seems to be in a rush except you

There is new content in the classroom. I am going to check it out nor... love me a checklist

Hey guys! Alan here - Just sharing a quick video overview of a new resource we made in the Expat 101 course called the "Freedom budget Simulator." If you have any feedback or improvements please comment and let us know. Hope you find it useful or at least fun to play with. Also, if there's other resources you'd find helpful in your expat investing journey let us know and we'll do our best to make it happen! Happy Monday/Happy investing!

So since visiting Medellin last year, I have been seriously considering becoming an expat for a myriad of reasons. For those that have done it - what were your first steps in getting the process started? How did you decide where you want to live? Did you have a large next eggs saved up? Do you have kids? Tell me all the things!

I had my kiddos list places they want to travel this year. I like to do this each year so I can see what is important to them. This year they put Paris on the list. I don't know if it's possible yet and I'm looking into options to include Disney. I won't know if any of this is possible to until I get my bonus and I'm having fun dreaming it up! Also on the list: ✨️ St. Louis ✨️ New York ✨️ Outer Banks ✨️ Chicago ✨️ Richmond ✨️ Biltmore ✨️ DC/Maryland ✨️ San Francisco
