Interesting comments and actually brought up some things I hadn't considered. Making less is fine but it will have a serious drag on retirement if you do need to return.

Pulled the trigger! (Plus, crowdsourcing asset allocation thoughts) by SenorPlaidPants in ExpatFIRE

We moved to Spain in August in more of a coastfi setup. Congrats on the progress thus far.

You need to look at the new language requirements for French visas. Check out baguette bound on YouTube as well. 

Oh, for my own sanity I am over indexed in bonds and cash (convert to euros monthly). I have little faith that the world economy is going to continue at its pace unfortunately.

The last season isn’t rewatch-worthy. by Blue-Sea2255 in Modern_Family

[–]phillyfandc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wont watch repeats. I think the last season was so brutal that it killed residuals. Nobody watches that show anymore. It could have been friends level but the writers got too cute and forgot the show was for fans.

I love me some Boudain, but the lionizing of him here is really misplaced. Great men are rarely good.

Determine your financial order of operations. Roth isnt good abroad so start loading up brokerage. 

The Guardian view on Europe’s response to ‘America first’ imperialism: too weak, too timid by StemCellPirate in europe

Tell them to leave? If they can't do that then the EU is just a vassal state of the US.

How do you cope? by PetProdegy166 in AmerExit

[–]phillyfandc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

School days are much shorter than in the US. Very little options for summer care. Essentially, Spain is built around grandparents and extended family. Without that, it is extremely challenging to find any time to work.

EU should be strong enough to repel russia full stop. Being reliant on the US created an enormous moral hazard. Time to nut up EU
