#173 How Much Money Do You Really Need to Move Abroad?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you believe you need to replace your U.S. salary before moving abroad, this episode offers a different perspective on what it actually takes to create a financially sustainable and fulfilling life overseas.
In this episode:
- Evan shares his journey from a six-figure corporate career in the U.S. to living and working in Málaga, Spain.
- Why earning less has led to a higher quality of life and how the fear of “not having enough” is often a misconception.
- Real cost-of-living comparisons between the U.S. and Spain.
- How moving abroad can lower financial pressure, making it easier to build a business, change careers, or create a lifestyle that prioritizes freedom over income.
- Why transition countries with lower living costs can help you move sooner, grow your income from abroad, and avoid waiting years to reach an arbitrary financial milestone.
The goal isn't necessarily to earn the same amount everywhere, but to build a life where your money, time, and values are working together.
