Episode notes
Decide What To Do With Big Assets
- Decide whether to sell, store, or keep big assets like cars and apartments before a long trip.
- Choose based on payment, storage cost, and how long you'll be gone.
Weigh Car Payment Versus Storage Cost
- Keep or sell a car based on payments and insurance costs rather than sentiment.
- Use family or cheap storage if you want to retain a vehicle without big expense.
Secure A Physical Mail Solution
- Arrange a reliable U.S. mailing address before you leave and assign someone to check mail.
- Use a PO box or friend to scan important envelopes so you don't miss bills or business mail.
