Retiring overseas may seem like a dream, but there are important things to consider before packing up and moving to a new country. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean is joined by wealth planner Andy Smith to talk about what those considerations are – from language and culture differences to taxes, property ownership and health care. Later, Jean discusses the technicalities of retiring abroad with Liz Gracon, the managing director of the Department of State’s Office of Overseas Citizens Services, and the challenges that it may present.

Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners. That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses. The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).
