Break Free from Materialism: Path to Financial Independence Abroad
Are you working towards Financial Independence so that you can retire early? If you’re the adventurous type, consider ditching all your stuff to move abroad and get there faster!
But what about all your stuff? Breaking free from your stuff can be a great side benefit of this path to Financial Independence!
Start Fresh
Moving abroad, is not like moving across town. It is usually best to get rid of most of your possessions and start fresh.
First, it is often very expensive to bring your old stuff with you. Whether its expensive shipping or import taxes, the costs can be exorbitant. Plus, if you’re looking to make a big change, why literally drag a ton of baggage with you?
To Store or Not to Store?
You can store your stuff or get rid of it. Unless you’re able to store for free in your parents’ garage or something, storage is going to cost you. And if you’re not planning to come back within a short time period, it really doesn’t make sense to pay for storage….or saddle your friends or family with the responsibility of keeping it.
