The Financial Independence (FI) movement can appear to be very US centric, having the largest community and most prominent bloggers and podcasters. The terminology used, retirement vehicles highlighted and strategies suggested are, not surprisingly, typically those available in America.
As an expat living in the US, but likely to be moving on next year, I’ve been conscious and interested in the broader international approach to Financial Independence.
What works in one country may not necessarily work in another one. Where you live can have a big impact on the approach you take and strategies you employ to save effectively, minimize tax, invest and build assets.
So what are the universal themes applicable wherever you live? What are some of the key differences to think about and consider when developing your plan of attack to reach Financial Independence?
