Cool tools
A handful of tools I built while figuring out retirement and a possible move abroad — safe withdrawal rates, international taxes, buy vs. rent, and learning Spanish.
- Safe Withdrawals — 23 safe-withdrawal-rate methods run side by side, so you can see how each would actually play out.
- International Taxes — How much extra tax you'd really pay living abroad as a US citizen — usually less than you'd think.
- Buy or Rent Internationally — Buy or keep renting abroad, and why FATCA/FBAR make a mortgage — or even a bank account — hard for Americans.
- Mexico Resident Visas — A step-by-step Temporary Resident Visa checklist, plus seven vetted facilitators and firms compared by cost and coverage.
- Learn Spanish — My syllabus and go-to resources — a head start for a move to Latin America.
