Summary

In this episode of the Journey to Launch podcast, I had an amazing conversation with Tiffany Grant, an accredited financial counselor and entrepreneur, about her journey to achieving financial freedom and her decision to relocate from the United States to Jamaica. Tiffany shares how she created a career in personal finance through her blog, podcast, and coaching business, Money Talk with Tiff and recounts the challenges of transitioning from corporate America to full-time entrepreneurship. Tiffany also dives into her life in Jamaica and talks about the cultural, educational, and healthcare differences compared to the U.S. She shares how her move was motivated by a desire for a simpler, more community-focused lifestyle and better opportunities for her children. Tiffany emphasizes the importance of financial preparedness, adaptability, and building a support system when making a significant life change.

In this episode, Tiffany shares:

The impact of becoming a teenage mother at 17, which motivated her to get serious about her finances and debt payoff, making it a goal to be debt free by 35.

The financial considerations of living in Jamaica, the importance of understanding the local culture, safety concerns and how she has built a support system, including friends who helped her navigate the new environment.
The visa process for staying in Jamaica, the process for relocating and for obtaining citizenship by descent
Why anyone relocating to another country should think about how they can contribute to the local community and the need to know your financial numbers and understand the legal requirements for living in a new country.
