Let us know if you have any questions.

@Stevie651 4 года назад

You’re great. I love the information and I thank you for sharing your wisdom. Wishing they would have been available back at turn of century.

@RCS_FencingPoet 4 года назад

This had to have been the BEST international retirement video that I have ever watched, (and I have watched many...) but none of them have applied the "commonsensical" approach that you use. Keep up the good work!

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it! They get $$ if you buy real estate. That is why there is no common sense in their recommendations.

@skeptical_sorcerer 4 года назад

I would add another to your list: 11. Make sure you really do have enough MONEY. You need more than you think...set up costs can be $4000-$5000 (first and last rent and a month in advance would eat up a lot of that, plus things for your apartment - yes, even if they say it is fully furnished!); there will be emergencies and unexpected costs that require you to have an "emergency fund" which should be about $1,500 (money you do not touch except in an emergency) like a flight home you were not expecting or a medical problem. Maybe you think $1,000 a month will be enough to 'get by', but what about if you get a girlfriend, want to try a fancy restaurant, have increasing costs as you age, or want to travel around the country? Your retirement will be absolutely miserable if you have to count every penny and can't do what you want to do to enjoy yourself. My advice...calculate your monthly cost of living...and add 25%. That should do it. Finally, something few expats really consider: INFLATION!! Sure, $1,000 may be enough in year 1....but many of these countries have relatively high inflation compared with the historically low inflation rates now being enjoyed in the US, Australia etc. $1,000 a month with just 5% inflation means you will need an additional $600 per year in year 2 just to maintain the same standard of living....what about in 5 or 10 years? No way your home government will be increasing your social security by 5% p.a.....most western governments are trying to reign in their expenses by cutting welfare payments. Money in superannuation or stocks? Let's hop[e there isn't another crash! I have seen homeless and destitute foreigners begging on the streets in Thailand and Philippines. I know of many others who are living below the standard of poor locals in the communities where they settled!! That will be you if you do not have a robust financial plan with plenty of wiggle room and a contingency plan in case it all goes pear-shaped.

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

Hi Paul, Thanks for adding your thoughts. I appreciate it. More money is better no matter where you live in the world. Dan

@survivingtn5034 4 года назад

Paul - You make a great point about having an emergency fund and more is always better, but since you as an Expat are probably getting your retirement in USD or a different Western currency, the local inflation rate doesn't necessarily hurt you as it is made up in the currency exchange. I think your math may be a bit off as even if there was 5% inflation on your $1000 a month, that would mean you would be losing about $50 in value a year making it worth $100 less after year 2, not $600...still a hefty amount. More is always better though!

@robcanad 3 года назад

@@survivingtn5034 TN actually your math is off, Paul had it right. 5% a year on 12k annually equates to $600 per year.

@olgashudofsky2830 Год назад

That's exactly what I am afraid of the inflation and now in 2023 the world is becoming ridiculously expensive 😳

@bradevans3815 3 года назад

I started travelling 25 years ago and these Top 10 mistakes are so true. I have met the poor wretches that made the mistakes and bought, it really affects their lives. It can take years to sell a property. There is no race to finding your "place", enjoy the journey and eventually it becomes clear where you want to be. For me its 3 places I want to live in a year, not just one. That may change, not invested, so Im footloose and fancy free. Great video as usual, still the best traveller site going.

@VagabondAwake 3 года назад

Love that. Footloose and fancy free.

@fruitloops3718 Год назад

I agree it's great Nottoway be tied to a property but eventually you will get too old to travel and you'll need to pick a place to stay.

@olgashudofsky2830 Год назад

I love the way you say it, that it is not a race to find your place. To be honest, end of next year I will retire and it feels like a race to me because I am so afraid visa requirements might change and that moneywise I will be stuck in cold and rainy and expensive Netherlands if I don't hurry and find my new cheaper, nice and hot and friendly new home quickly?

@daisyjuang5687 4 года назад

Hi Dan, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I often share my points with friends telling them” leave your stereotype at the gate when you’re boarding the plane”, “ eat and talk to the locals, don’t just stay in your resort by the pool because it’s just like staying at home with a pool”, “ be respectful, just because you are an American, it doesn’t mean you are above their country’s law”. Thank you, those are excellent advices!!

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing Daisy!! Your comments, likes, shares, and subscriptions help our business grow. Best, Dan

@metalguru5226 4 года назад

Excellent advice. I couldn't agree more. I would add be open to NOT retiring in any one place. You can spend your time moving from one place and/or country to another and do this for decades! I didn't think I'd like that kind of instability, but now I've tried it, I do. It's very freeing and exciting.

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

You sound like me Metal. Can I interview you so people know I am not alone. Send me your contact info here if you are okay with that. Please include "Metal Guru" in your message so I know it is you. vagabondbuddha.com/contact/

@errafanan 4 года назад

I agree.

@olgashudofsky2830 Год назад

How do you manage work the different visas and requirements? Does it mean you me have f.e. 5 different retirement visas? I am thinking of that concept too because I love to travel and live to interact with different cultures but I don't know how to go about living "out of my suitcase ". Thank for any advice. (I have about €2000 to spend per month)

@metalguru5226 Год назад

@@olgashudofsky2830 That income would allow you to live in many countries reasonably comfortably. You don't need ANY retirement visas. They are often very complex and expensive - -if you can even get them at all. Simply chose countries where you can stay for many, many months as a tourist. For example, you can do this for 3 years in the Philippines and indefinitely in Cambodia. They won't care where you get your money from, as long as you're not doing business in the country.

@SillyRabbitTrix 4 года назад

1. Buying real estate within the first 2 years 2. Applying for a retirement visa too soon 3. Falling in love with the first country you visit 4. Shipping your stuff to the new country within the first few years 5. Putting money in a foreign bank 6. Trying to recreate your old life in the new country 7. Hanging out exclusively with expats 8. Paying for sex 9. Assuming laws and legal rights are like home 10. Shopping primarily in expat/tourist/expensive stores

@internationaltax7708 2 года назад

Points very well thought out. Excellent. Thank you. I used to advise international assignees, and they often made those mistakes. Two pairs of examples (fake names): 1. Midwest US to Paris: John insisted on a 3 bed room, 2 bath, 2 car garage and ended up spending over $10,000 (current prices) per month for the house and car, and a 30-45 minute driving commute; he and his wife remained unhappy. Arny went local with a top floor 1,200 s.f. apartment with large patio, across from park, 2 blocks from the RER, 12 minutes ride and 1 block walk to the office, all for under $2,000 per month; he and his wife loved it. Example 2: Japanese to US & vice-versa: same company gave cost of living differential each direction of nearly 100% of salary; all were unhappy.

@roygoad2870 4 года назад

Agree completely with your assessments, having been to over 50 countries you made some valid points, but everyone is different. We all have needs that make our life worth living and sometimes it takes making our own mistakes to learn and go forward. Iam 67 and am now experiencing and enjoying travelling than ever before and as long I can keep fit and healthy I hope to continue!

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

So true. Life is ultimately about learning. I have made many of these mistakes myself ... that is why I know.

@kevinreily2529 2 года назад

Great advice. Travel is my life, expat in SE Asia for 15 years, switching to Europe next year, so damn glad I never bought land or a car or invested in foreign businesses.

@stevenartistandcrafter631 2 года назад

These are things I know from being a World Traveler myself but it’s always good to revisit these subjects each and every time you move to a new Country. Thanks Dan for the reminders. By the way, I have made many of the mistakes you mentioned over the years! LOL!

@VagabondAwake 2 года назад

Me too Steven. That is how I know. :-)

@hump1953 4 года назад

Great video and advice, I have traveled abroad to many countries and could well afford to make the move abroad but am 67 .... # 11 recommendation I would add is don’t fall in love with the first woman you meet....

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

Yes, Pau, #11. If you have only dated women from your home country before ... you have no data point for whatever country you arrived. Take your time and get to know the Rhythms of a new culture before narrowing in on the perfect girl. You may get lucky soon, but that is not likely. Best, Dan

@randyfocht737 Год назад

GREAT ADVICE! Especially, sell all your stuff, then move, and buy new stuff. Don't store it. You may pay more for the storage unit in a year, than it costs to buy brand new furniture in your new country.

@barryhh8217 4 года назад

You are so right. Everyone looking at overseas retirement should see this.

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

True. Many of the retire cheap in paradise gurus are pushing real estate too soon to make money. It is a conflict of interest.

@spanishh2001 4 года назад

Was thinking the same thing .....a must watch....

@yannip2083 3 года назад

TOTALLY AGREED! Also, instead of moving to one place, just move around and enjoy more places, exactly like what Dan (Vagabond Buddha) is doing and enjoy a variety of places.

I would even leave the checked bag out of it. A small carry on day pack a dual SIM cell phone and some all terrain sandals and go. All clothing and other things are cheaper there. Also Western clothing and things will present you as rich to locals and more of a target. Buy local style clothing when you get there.

@VagabondAwake 4 года назад

Excellent advise. Most of the things you talked about I was aware of as In the past I have visited over 30 countries because I had a job requiring overseas travel for quite a few years. More recently I have been to the Philippines several times just before covid, and I will return when I get things sorted out here in the U.S. While in the military I spent four years in Japan and thought about retiring there, but modern Japan is not like the Japan I remember. In the U.S. my favorite place to live is Hawaii, but it has become too expensive for most retirees, including me. Keep up the good work.

@phildodd5532 3 года назад

Dan, wonderful advise. However, it appears that most moving to Mexico (for example) are those who have retired with a significant amount of money or those who have an excellent income working on the Internet. Money does not seem to be a concern for them and they seem to "bring the US/Canada with them" (so to speak). They basically hang out with a few expats like themselves and appear fine with that. They have everything they want( they buy at the expats stores and eat expat meals at the restaurants that cater to them) and even though they tout their "Mexican friends", they are basically no more than speaking to a neighbor sometimes, or talking to their servants. They constantly complain about corruption, lack of street repairs, etc. They tout how safe everywhere is, yet they live in a gated community. They "break" all of your "top 10".

@VagabondAwake 3 года назад

That is what I mean in some of my videos when I say that money can separate you from a soul warming intimacy available to you if you integrate with the locals.

@colehunt4272 4 года назад

Great advice, thanks for sharing! The thing that resonated with me is don't rush into anything, take your time. I'm an American living and working overseas as an English teacher. This is my 10th year abroad in Korea and I really like the lifestyle. I often think about how to plan for my future. Thankfully I get 4 months off a year to travel, and have been to many of the countries you talk about. One of the things I always ask myself when I visit a country is, could I live here full-time? For me many places that seem like paradise at first can get boring after a month or two. So yes definitely get a feel for a place over a longer period of time before you make any major decisions like buying real-estate. Relax and enjoy your time. Visit many places and it will become clear what is the best fit for you.
