Let’s face fact. You have ZERO idea about what you’re doing, do you?. At least not when it comes to expatriating overseas. Go on, tell the truth. Not to me; tell it to yourself.

In fact, I bet if you were to execute what you have in mind right now as far as expat plans are concerned, you’d end up as lost as you would had you taken a night hike through a cornfield maze.

Now this is not a dig on you. Actually I’m helping you to see the facts. Because right now, the facts are that you’re probably scrimping and cutting corners looking for the best deals here or the best bargains over there. Let’s get one thing perfectly clear:

While it’s OK to economize, it is NOT okay to be cheap. No need to spend a fortune, but realize you’re taking a huge risk and a life-altering event here. Act accordingly and invest in yourself.

I repeat: fumbling around in the dark, wasting time and energy will have you doing little more than jumping over dollars to get pennies.

It’s time you tried something different with your expat plans, right?

Chew on that one, pilgrim. And sign up for the Fiercely Independent Expat ecourse right now.

FYONNL!
