Brush off the passport, pack the bags, and plop down in your favorite lazy spot because we’re going global on today’s show! In this special Living Abroad episode, we invite world travelers living in various countries to share how they did it, what they should’ve learned earlier, and what life experiences they’ve gained since settling into their new lives.
Joining our round table is a French native and former Guatemala-living Pauline Paquin from the Reach Financial Independence blog, Jim White from the Route to Retire blog (who moved to Panama with his wife and daughter at 43), and Travis Luther, author of Fun Side of the Wall, a book explaining why baby boomers are flocking to Mexico for retirement.
Friday Fintech: Jassby – An App for Families
After our trio wraps up all things travel Joe sits down with Benny Nachman, founder of the family money-sharing app Jassby. The app provides an easy-to-use system that lets parents assign responsibilities to children, pay allowances, and even setup a virtual debit card.
Listener Voicemail: Gifting Stocks?
During our MagnifyMoney segment, we take on a question about gifting stocks to students from high school teacher Jake. Additionally, he asks, is there a good way to buy fractional shares as a gift? A few of the stocks his students are interested in are a few hundred dollars a piece… not exactly feasible to buy for a whole class.
As always, Doug has some post-Fintech airtime to deliver his game-show trivia.
Enjoy!
