Show Notes
Dreaming of retiring abroad? You’re not alone – but turning that dream into a reality isn’t always straightforward. In this episode of the Money:Mindshift podcast, host Dr Tom explores what it really takes to build a life overseas. From the exciting possibilities, to the practical (perhaps even boring) details many people forget about. He’s joined by relocation expert, Federica Grazi, who shares how to approach the decision with clarity and confidence, and David Richardson, who’s actually made the move himself. David offers an honest look at what works, what doesn’t, and what he wishes he’d known before making the move overseas. Together, they unpack how to balance lifestyle dreams with real-world considerations – and how to decide whether moving abroad is the right move for you.
