Over the last year, I have had a record number of questions about living and retiring abroad.
And while it may sound like the ultimate freedom, with lower living costs, beautiful surroundings, and a slower pace of life, there are considerations you must address before packing your bags and making a permanent move.
Without the right plan, it can also introduce unnecessary financial and emotional stress.
