The Move Abroad Coach Podcast
The Move Abroad Coach Podcast is your space for real, unfiltered conversations about building a business and a life you love overseas. Hosted by Richelle Gamlam, founder of Move Abroad Coach who has been living abroad for twelve years, this show blends strategy, mindset, and identity work to help you create a step-by-step freedom plan and finally make your move. Here, we don’t do generic how-to lists or heavily edited episodes. Instead, Richelle shares the coaching, stories, and practical frameworks that help coaches, freelancers, and entrepreneurs move abroad with confidence and alignment. If you’re craving deeper conversations, personalized insight, and the real behind-the-scenes of creating a freedom life, you’ll feel right at home. Come learn how to build a business that supports your freedom, create a concrete plan you can actually implement, and step into the version of you who lives a life you don’t need a vacation from.

#176 Can You Really Afford to Move Abroad?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Think you need "more money" before you can move abroad? Or have you not yet figured out how much money you actually need?
In this episode, we're breaking down the 3 questions you actually need to answer to figure out your numbers (and why there's no one-size-fits-all answer).
You’re going to learn:
- The numbers you need to calculate before making your move
- How your destination impacts your budget and savings goals
- Practical ways to reduce the cost of relocating
- Why building a portable income matters more than hitting an arbitrary savings target
- The mindset shift that turns "I can't afford it" into a real plan to afford it
Stop guessing, and start making decisions based on real numbers instead of fear.
