Portugal seems to be climbing higher and higher on the list for American expats. ✈️

And it’s not hard to see why!

“Bears sound smart, but bulls make you money💸”

If you’re a listener of our podcast, you’ve probably heard me say this a few times.

Investing isn’t perfect, and never has been. However, over time, those who stay invested tend to benefit the most.
There’s always a reason not to invest, whether it’s scary headlines, risks, or uncertainty.

But history’s been pretty clear on this: the people who build wealth are usually the ones who stay in the game!

Many retirees miss this completely👇

The Roth account.

For those expats living in the US, it can be a really powerful tool, but only if you understand when to use it.
And we find that’s the bit most people get wrong!

Most people reading this probably assume their passport will always give them options.

But when you look back, history actually gives us a different story!

In times of conflict, pandemics, or political change, countries often close their borders. Rules change, and access often gets restricted.

In this clip, we discuss why relying on one passport, even a strong one like the US, might not give you the flexibility you think it does.

A lot of people move to the US thinking, “I’ll figure the finances out when I get there…”

It might sound sensible in the moment, but trust me when I say it’s where the problems begin!

In our latest podcast episode, I talk about why having your ducks in a row before you move matters so much.
