The Overseas Retirement Planning Bible

“Retiring and moving overseas requires financial planning,” writes resident Retirement Planning Correspondent Paul Terhorst in the introduction to his new “Retirement Planning Guide–How To Get Your Finances In Order To Make Your Move Overseas Right Now.”

Paul’s new report, the culmination of 28 years of successful retirement overseas and 40 years of personal investing experience, is the overseas retirement planning bible, walking you through the financial concepts you need to understand to make a success of your own far-flung retirement adventures.

In the report, completed just this week, Paul addresses three main themes:

  • First, bet on global growth…
  • Second, control your expenses…
  • Third, avoid losing your money on hair-brained schemes.

As Paul explains:

“I’m an optimist. I’m a bull. I believe in the old adage, ‘bears make headlines, bulls make money.’ In particular I’m convinced that global growth will soon improve.

“Remember that globalization has come about only in the past several years. As recently as two decades ago, the Soviet bloc kept its citizens away from travel, away from markets. China and India persecuted the most productive sectors of society. Dictators from Burma to Brazil, from Romania to Egypt closed ports, markets, and trading in currencies.

“Then came globalization. We got used to trade, markets, and all the benefits economists tell us about. By now virtually every country, everywhere, has profited from trade and commerce. Modern-day dictators and communists have learned that trade fills coffers. Globalization has become unstoppable. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

“As of this writing, the global economy appears shaky. Europe poses the biggest problem, but weakness seems to be spreading to other continents. I take weakness as normal growing pain. I believe we’ll soon return to world growth that drives stock markets. After all, Europe has been down before and has always come back.

“In this report, you’ll see ways to buy into global growth. Stocks. Natural resources. China. Just remember to stay the course, to stick for the long term.

“The second theme in this report is: Control spending. Advisers tend to believe our spending after retirement will decrease only slightly, if at all. Nonsense, I say. Move overseas, get your rent down, and, in most cases, you’ll spend far less. You’ll have plenty of money. Vicki and I live these days in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Our living costs are so low that, when we prepare our personal balance sheet, recent living costs amount to a rounding error.

“You may have higher expenses, depending where you choose to live. But almost everywhere you can find a cheaper rental if you have the right attitude. I argue that day-to-day living expenses, on la dolce vita, make more difference than how big your house is, than how big your yard is. Give up trying to impress. Enjoy the rest of your life doing what you want to do rather than spending on a big house.

“In this report I caution against hair-brained schemes. What schemes are hair-brained? All of them. I’ve seen people lose their retirement stash by opening a bar or helping someone open a bar. By day trading or otherwise going after what looks like a sure bet. By venture capital funding. By buying into IPOs. By buying or building a fortress home in a remote location.

“There are endless ways to lose money, an endless number of hair-brained schemes. Forget about them. Choose steady, long-term, solid investments in global growth, not short-term schemes.

“My final advice: Go For It. Vicki and I retired at age 35 and have enjoyed every minute of our retired life, most of it living overseas. You can retire, too, almost no matter how much money you have, if you’re willing to think creatively.

“Choose to retire earlier rather than later; choose to act now rather than at some vague, unspecified future date. In almost all cases we’ve heard about, retiring early worked out better than imagined. You just need a little courage, a little luck, a little flair for knowing how to enjoy yourself.”

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 21, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her newest book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.
