How to Move Abroad on a Smaller Budget 💰
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- When it's time to go, you can move abroad on a smaller budget. Our friend, Chris, decided it was better to leave the United States for his plan B country rather than wait until he had what he financially needed for his plan A country. Why should someone pivot to plan B? Tune in and find out.

----------------------------
What the English speakers don´t understand is that the vowels in Portuguese don´t have the same sound. Ex: The English E sound is the I in Portuguese. Tip before trying to speak Portuguese memorize the sound of the vowels. Another tip, the O is read as a U unless it has an accent (ó). Ex: we say Purtugal not Portugal. The way the English say it would have to be written Pórtugal. Until you learn the sounds of the vowels you will never understand how to speak Portuguese, but after that you will have your ah ha moment.
I met Christopher in Lisbon in 2023 at the Our Black Utopia Meet Up. We’ve kept in contact since then. It’s great to see him and meet Monica on this LIVE. Really enjoyed this one. 👍🏾
Hey Vic, can't wait until next time, those people need to clear my stairs when I get there. 😂
@@WrldExplorer 💯 ABSOLUTELY!! 😂😂
TEACH!!!!! No consumerism........... is financial freedom. Praise God.
You know that's right. We're just going to have to give some of our bruthas and sistahs grace because we only know when we know. 😉
Thank you for watching 💕 and please forgive the delay in responding. Our recent MeetUps have thrown our schedule off. 😳
I enjoyed meeting Monica and Christopher.
Argentina has indigenous people but they are mostly in the northwestern part of the country. But similar to the Native Americans of the US, they were mostly wiped out by colonialism and disease.
Right we were be snarky because the Spanish Argentines try to act like no POC’s are in Argentina🤣
This was such a great conversation! Thank you for sharing ❤
You are making major impact. People are watching, paying attention and taking action ❤
We hope to make a positive impact for folks to find their own Utopia.
Catching replay 💕
It took forever to listen to this replay...but I welcomed my great grand daughter to living in the world, this weekend. Point of order to Halisi two of your most favorite people have strong ties to Ohio (Stephanie Perry and Roshida Dowe) please cut the shade about Ohio, very good African Americans say Ohio is their home state. I wondered why Christopher through most of the three hour conversation said "she" not Monica when referring to the lady sitting behind him. This was a long but good interview and Allah willing I will be in attendance, hitting the like button next weekend for sure. OBU-TM is the best channel on RUclips for the information African American need for moving abroad hands down. See you next week, and thank you both for creating this outstanding channel, You're simply the Best!
😆 My husband is from Ohio so YES, very cool AA's have 'ties' to Ohio. My two experiences with Ohio leaves me saying it is a place to be from not a place I would ever want to live. With that said - there is NO state in the US that is ALL bad or ALL good - but this is a running joke between Ric and me - and must be said to get his ire up. 🤣
To your answer, were use to calling each other different names, not our real names, unless we’re in trouble. 😮 For the purpose of the interview, was so focused on the questions, answering them honestly, and being a little nervous in my first live interview, I didn’t even notice I was saying “she”. 😂
to each its own😊.
I have to agree, I was born in Ohio, but I’m living somewhere else.
Catching the replay.
Thank you Wanda, for adding to the conversation. Thank you for watching 💕 and please forgive the delay in responding. Our recent MeetUps have thrown our schedule off. 😳
Hello, love your videos. I am living in Las Vegas and moving to Panama City Panama, March 2025. I will get my temporary visa October of this year 2024.
If you need any insight I’m here in Summerlin, have homes in Bocas & chiriqui
Great topic! Thank you! I’ve got to check out the Seixal city across the river. It sounds promising.
It really is!
Good day you all - from San Diego California
Hey lady, everytime I see your name I think it is my aunt who also lives in San Diego. 🥰 Thank you for always tuning in. 🙏🏾
I seen you guys video when you talked about Thailand. It was amazing. Than you so much. Can I ask a favor? Can you talk about moving to Egypt?
Do you know any Black Americans living in Egypt? We would be happy to interview them. I have found that the parts of our Continent that Arabs have taken over have been less than friendly to people who look like me. However, I'm willing to learn about what I don't know.
I’m one of those dudes that lays in the cut on those black women travel channels. They be droppin some 💎y’all.
Hey MochaMan - you and Action VJ too 😆 - They do drop knowledge and have changed the way I see the world and my place in it. Thank you so much for watching and please forgive the delay in responding. Life has been lifin'. 😳
Let us know how else we can help your journey.
Good from Atlanta
I have been really enjoyed watching your channel, very eye opening. Wondering if you have any advice for a 57 year old who might be interested in moving abroad in the future but has no retirement. Where things stand right now would only have SSI income. If one of your other episode talks about this please direct. Stay BLESSED
Alesia, you need to save money like you've never saved before. Eliminate all non-collateralized debt (credit cards). Create a HEALTHY emergency fund (at least 6 months of living expenses - remember your expenses abroad could be a lot less). Ric and I started saving 65% of our income - we cut cable and everything else that didn't make sense. We changed carriers to get other expenses as low as possible. We cooked more and had potlucks and game nights instead of meeting friends for dinner.
On top of the 65% we put an extra $300-400 in a brokerage account.
It cost some money to move abroad, but once you get settled the expenses come down...way down. Our rent is about $1400 for 3 bedrooms, our utilities are never more than $150, no car, no car insurance, but our metro cards add up to about $65 for the two of us, and lastly our health insurance is about $180 per month for the two of us.
thank you so much for watching. 💕If you are seriously considering a move abroad, here are some resources that might help, which includes a Scouting Trip Checklist and our Ready to Retire and Move Abroad Toolkits that have links to the databases that we use to check cost of living information and human rights for cities around the world: bit.ly/OBUresources
Thanks, guys. really appreciate you🙏. Time to get to work !!
Hello beautiful people!! Were you saying Funchal was a less expensive option, if you’re planning a move?
Mmmm, I'm not so sure of that because it's an island. To be honest I've never looked at the housing costs but I do know that getting things shipped there is a pain and is expensive. We just did a livestream on the cost of housing in the Lisbon area - you can compare that to what you see on Idealista for Funchal. 😃 Thank you so much for watching and for adding to the conversation. 💕
Where can I find your downloadable retirement/money planner for each country? We all should be thinking as you, wherever we are. Thank you!😊

That mosquito zapper you can find in any Chinese store very cheap.
Found it...Ric got your message and found one. 😉 Thank you for watching 💕 and please forgive the delay in responding. Our recent MeetUps have thrown our schedule off. 😳
my husband always makes excuses as to why he can't save money.
Sorry to hear that, but the best thing you can do is to educate yourself on what needs to be done to save and invest and start doing it. Good luck!
